Hi All,
Silly question maybe :-(
I am using Vixen 2.1x for my show, I use a profile, and have the Adjustable Preview setup to display the programmed sequence over a photo of the house. For me this is essential to get the sequence basically knocked into shape. I have four strings of lights on most of the house outline and roof stripes, each one painstakingly painted onto the Adjustable preview screen, four colours overlaid one on top of another.
The "Problem" !! I have noticed occasionally on one or two strings, particularly on the roof stripes in my case, do not appear to light up at some points in a sequence, although they are happily doing their thing elsewhere within that sequence. The appropriate "Vixen" squares are all filled in to full brightness, and if the channel data is transferred to another blank area within the sequence, it appears fine, and lights up as it should at full intensity (255)!
This is most noticable when the A/P is displaying a rapid switch from one colour to another at about 500 milliseconds rate, ie. White then Red then White again, or White then Green the White again.
Attached should be a couple of screen grabs of the affected areas, my concern is :-
1./ ?? Is it a real representation, or is it just an aberration produced by the Adjustable Preview.
2./ ?? Would it show up as as no output on the actual channel outputs the Renards ??
Thoughts from the "Brains Trust" please,
Terry
