Wolf and blinder will just control the dimmer channel on this fixture. I thought about spinning the color wheel to white but was thinking it would look messy. Happy to hear what others think though....

With both effects, the lamp remains on anyway.

I therefore find it strange when everything else is white and another colour is displayed here.

Update with firmware 0.2.9

Wolf and blind effect work, but only if the dimmer is not set to 100% beforehand.

Test again today with firmware 0.3.0

The WOLF effect does not work when the dimmer is set to 100%. No flashing can be seen.

and the colour pink is not correctly deposited

The same problem also exists with the Showtec Phantom 100

I've made some updates to the pink channel and also the shutter channel. It should work better now.

Test with current profile and FW 0.6.6

Pink now works correctly with Phantom 65 & 100.

The WOLF effect still does not work when the lamp is at 100%, so the brightness has to be turned down a lot for the effect to be visible.

The colour UV is not displayed correctly on the Phantom 65, only light blue is used.

Hello,

- The latest version of the Phantom 65 should enable you to use the UV colour correctly, please re-sync the profile via WTOOLS to use the latest version.

- We are currently working on an update for the Wolf flash effect which will address this issue with some fixtures being unaffected by the Wolf button. This should be ready in the next Firmware update. We would love to hear your thoughts on the updated function as and when the new firmware is released!

Kind regards,
Will
