More than 10 fixtures [fixed]

Postby sebdotdj » 14 April 2012, 05:08

Hi,

Ofcourse we know all about the 10 fixtures limit, and my situation is that I have about 11 different fixtures:

1 mega tri par uplights (8x)
2 Led par 56 chauvet (4x)
3 mega bar led (3x)
4 spots colordash accent chauvet (2x)
5 Comscan A
6 Comscan B (mirrored)
7 laser1 atmospheric
8 laser2 galaxian 3d
9 revo4
10 Jelly dome
11 Flash shot strobe

Fixture 1 and 2 use the same dmx channels and I combined those, which works great. Some fixtures use only 2 or 3 channels so I hardly reach the 100 dmx channels...

Now I like to do two things;
A) Combine fixtures even more; So I like to combine the megabar(3)+colordashes(4) into one fixture. Is that possible to let a 3 dmx channel fixture take the same values as the 4 dmx channel fixture (RGB values)?

B) The second thing I want to do is have 2 different versions of the tripar (1) and the Led pars (2). So I read that I could combine 2 fixtures into one by making a new Showxpress profile with the double amount of channels. How do I do that? Can someone help me with the tripars as an example?!

Yes, this is possible.

I could combine 2 fixtures into one by making a new Showxpress profile with the double amount of channels.

This is possible to. In Setup:
- load the "tripar" profile
- save it under another name like "tripar&ledpar"
- add the channels of the "ledpar"
- save again the profile
- insert this new profile in the "dmx addressing" section

Thanks;

Does that last trick also work when using the same typ of fixture; so if i want A and B version of the Tripar? Logically it are the same channels again, and won't it work; right?!

Thanks!

Found it out myself...

For anybody wondering; Use the dmx channel 1 for the A Version and the channel 8 for the B Version. (it uses 7 channels per fixture). While in total 14 are dedicated to my Tripars.
