Chauvet Gigbar IRC - 19 channel / version 1

Post by AJCraig »

I have been testing the original Chauvet Gigbar IRC v1 without success - the only thing I can control, with limited effect, are the 2 x PARs.

The Gigbar manual I have has 3 channel modes: 19ch, 8ch and 3ch.

The Gigbar IRC fixture Wolfmix profile has 3 channel modes: 20ch, 9ch and 3ch.

Confusion is both manuals from Chauvet are classed as Rev 3 but both are different.

My fixture has 19ch, 8ch and 3ch mode so which profile should I be using?

It seems the version you have is missing the green laser (according to the manual). They don’t make it easy!

I’ve put up 2 profiles:
-a corrected version of the 20ch GigBAR IRC
-a new 19ch GigBAR IRC Green Laser Only

Let me know how you get on.

Just been testing and the only thing that works is the Strobe.

Although the Derby heads change colour with the beat of the sound, the mirror dish rotation is static.

The PAR lights also do not respond to Sound active and just stay White, yet can set a colour in Live Edit. Neither fixtures respond to Blackout either.

@simon - Tested the new profile and the PARs no longer have any control. They are just on permanent blackout, even when dimmer is 100%.

The PARs only light up White in Live Edit mode and colour cannot be changed.

No function over the laser either. Strobe function seems to work ok.

Just an update for others. We had a video call a few days ago and all is sorted 🙂
