Intimidator 1.0 blackout in software?

dazzlerMember

Hello everyone,

I am setting up a show and noticed that the Intimidator 1.0’s are not blacking out in the software. I believe that in real life they will but I have no way to test this yet. The interface is on it’s way and I should get it in a few days.. I know the 1st channel on the intimidator controls this feature. Setting the fader to 0 should black out the fixture. The spec sheet lists 000-009 closed, 010-019 white (open) and so on. Is there a way to fix this in the program so I know when they are actually in the blackout or in the open white position? I know I can just look at the faders but it would be nice to just be able to look on the 3d visualizer and know.

Thanks,
Dazzler

Do you know how to modify fixture profiles? That would be where this issue lies. If you don't know how i can do it for you and send the updated profile to you.

I haven’t messed with fixture profiles yet but I may give it a shot to see what happens. Is there a way I can copy the profile and modify that copy? That way if I mess it up I’ll still have the original to use.

Sure. Simply right click on the profile and select copy and then paste it to your desktop. but if i were you i would rename it Rev. I or something along those lines.

Hello,

I duplicated the fixture and saved it as Intimidator-1a. Then I went in to the original profile and changed all the channels to reflect the traits listed in the instructions for the fixture. That went fine. I saved the changes, closed it and then opened it back up just to be sure. All was well. However, when I went in to the compulive software, the changes didn’t show up in the buttons. Do I have to delete the fixtures from here and add them back in? I was hoping I could just right click and update the fixture traits. Any suggestions? I suppose I will have to remove them from the 3d visualizer and put them back in there too.

Thanks,

I ended up deleting the previous fixtures from the scene and adding the new ones back in. I had to place them back in the 3d visualizer in the same positions as the ones that I removed. It wasn't hard, just a little time consuming. I had to re-do all my scenes that had those lights but that went ok too.
