Profile for Colorstrip

It seems that the fixture profile that you are not using does not have the Macro functions written into the profile.

You can either re write the profile using scan library editor, or let jingles make it better for you..

Best regards,

i got a good one for those lights. shoot me an email at james k AT elation lighting DOT COM and i an get it out to you. Sincerely,

Also the profile i revised has all the functions accessible you just have to put the first channel on the right value and then channel 2-4 will respond accordingly. NOTE: it will not be visible in the 3D visualizer. so i hope that is not a problem. Sincerely,

I need a profile for the Chauvet COLORstrip lights as well.

I'm not seeing one in the library.

Can I download one from somewhere; e.g. is there a library download link that gets updated regularly?

Thanks,

Jeron

i can link you to a staedy place in a little bit but for now here is a lot of the newer chauvet profiles. This is a direct link to the .ZIP folder will start downloading,

Sincerely,

Thanks alot.

I'll try them out.

James,

I downloaded that zip file, but there isn't a profile for a Chauvet COLORstrip.

Do you have one? I've got 30+ of them I need to control with Compu Live

Jeron

do I have your email? If I have it I'll send it right out to you tonight. Sincerely,

My email is what I use as a login name...

You should have them now. Thanks!

Are you talking here about the Chauvet COLORStrips? I have multipe profiles, but all of the RGB color mixing has serious flicker issues, even with a terminator at the end of the chain. Is this a profile issue or a problem with Chauvet's fixtures?

It is the fixture.

has anyone tried using some sort of DMX splitter or isolater??? I would think this would affect the clock, since it seems to be pretty well unanimous that these fixtures aren't clocking correctly

by the way, it works just fine in non-RGB mode (static/pattern/chase) you just cannot dim

of coarse, it also works fine, in all modes, with a Chauvet Stage Designer

So you are not having issues with your colorstrips using the software?

if I just use the static colors or preset programs for color change or chase, they appear to work fine, no flicker that I've noticed, but you cannot dim a static color, you need RGB mode for that (I took the Colorstrip-RGB fixture profile and editted it to a Colorstrip-Static profile)

I could really care less about RGB mixing, in any fixture, but in this case, it's the only way to not have the color on full-blast

so if it's a clocking issue, I wondered if anyone had tried a splitter or isolater as I would think a device like these would generate it's own clock-out

is there a list, somewhere, of incompatible fixtures, so I know in the future what to steer clear of???

does the Chauvet Colorbank LED suffer from the same problem with RGB mode??? from the user guide, their DMX implementations look identical

I built a profile that treats them like moving head fixtures...it's a little over-bulked with useless junk like movement patterns and the x/y placement stuff, but the colors work and it runs one of the chases just fine. It's a shame, though. The LEDrains work quite well, so I don't know why they screwed up so bad with the colorstrips. If you're looking at getting some I'd suggest the American DJ strips...they run a little more, but that's what ebay is for. They work great though.

J.D. Thanks for helping out. i appreciate it.

Dave the colorbank should not give you the flickering issue. But you may have a bit of a hard time doing mulitple RGB channel chases using the efx gen. But i believe when used properly you can substitute using the sequencer or X fader Rack in the scene edit window.
Sincerely,
