Showtec Airstrike

[SimonDK]

Hello.

It doesn’t seems that the showtec airstrike is working correctly with the wolfmix. when I’m using it I don’t see any movement and I have tried the different profiles that are available at light cloud.

I do see the lamp is turning on, and I do see different colors and different gobo. But I do not see the Miros turning or tilting. It will also be nice to have a turn off lamp mode so the lamp can cool off

It is a "bit" of a special effect fixture, which will not work "out-of-the box" as is! It requires

• a modified profile to match the effect capabilities of the effect fixture to the Wolfmix control capabilities

• and also a very dedicated post install process to produce (at least) "some useful" effects

It is NOT plug & play!

Here is the Control:

• Download the profile and load into Wolfmix

• When loading you are asked to "SPLIT" the fixture - confirm with YES

• Example: You now have 4 (sub/linked) fixtures all in the same Group A

• select "4beam"-2 and change to Group B

• select (both) "4beam"-3 and "4beam"-4 and click "crosshair" symbol on top of screen - entering Fixture Limits

• dial encoders: MIN PAN = 50% / MAX PAN = 100% / MIN TILT = 50% /MAX TILT = 100%

• press 2x HOME

• open MoveFX and select CIRCLE pattern, put SPEED = 0% / PHASE = 0% / SIZE = 50% / FADE = 100%

Activate MoveFX and slowly raise SPEED to 5% - The 4 Mirrors will slowly "drive" thru the various "amplitude Presets" (from Biggest to smallest). When reaching "desired" effect, return SPEED to 0% and it holds this amplitude pattern. For more pattern or less pattern, change SIZE to 100% (all pattern) or to 20 or 10% which will only enable 1 or 2 amplitude pattern.

The Roller Rotation (Move & Shake) can be found in GOBO:

• Open Gobo

• In Group A you see the "regular" Gobos

• In Group B you see only one (green) Gobo symbol, activate (any) and dial the ROTATE encoder and it will start to rotate, de-select the green Gobo and it will Stop

Color selection is through static Color, Strobe is Strobe Button

Please note that there are 2 versions of Airstrike: 10 channel and 16 channel - both with different functions on different channels.

Thanks for the answer. I don't think it works as well as it could.

isn't it possible to make mirror 1,2,3,4 run as 4 different units and then only as tilt?
- so if, for example, I select the up and down movement in moveFX, and phase is set to 0%, size to e.g. 50% and fade to 100%
then all mirrors would run exactly the same.

in addition to that, the dimmer is constantly off, so even if I choose e.g. red under "color" no light comes out.
I also can't get the mirror roll to work.


Is it possible to get phone support? Or maybe online meeting/support?
