we only have one.. and the value of the dmx showing on our board when the intensity should be at 0%.. is at a value of 3. In reading the manual it should still register as it being off until it reaches a value of 4, or am i misunderstanding the system, everything else on the fixture seems to be working just fine, the gobos don't entirely match up, but that could and probably is an issue with our board manufacturer Jands Vista.
We have had nothing but problems with our elation fixtures on the jands vista, the people at jands have been working hard at getting us new patches to try and fix some of the problems. We have one power spot 700 ( soon to have more, as long as we can get it to work). 2 design spot 575E (one broken, does its own thing, after resets and all) and 5 design washes that seem to work just the way they should with the correct patch.
going back to the 700 though. One more note, we hooked it up to a manual board to test all the channels individually, and the intensity worked fine then, and about 95% of the values we tested seemed to work just fine.(testing everything from pan,tilt, to strobe, and color mixing). We wanted to make 100% sure before we put the fixture up in our auditorium. We have yet to have a fully functional elation fixture. So i don't know if there needs to be better communication between jands and elation, but seeing as how these fixtures have a lot to offer, it would be a shame for a whole demographic of users (IE:Jands Vista Users). If i can help in any way moving that along ill certainly do my best.
thanks i hope that answered some of the questions, and probably raised some more.
