set independantly fixtures on the same group

Post by PHC »

Dear team,

I have two lyres, each one with its own dmx address, on the same group.

Sometimes, especially for static position, I want to select only one to set it up independantly but I didn't find how to do it.
Have them on the same group is convenient for my different program and I wish that is possible without separate them on two different group.

Could you please assist.

Best regards,
Philippe

On static Color use the encoder and dial it from SINGLE to the "Alternate" mode (dot on/off/on/oof). Now you can select more Colors which are evenly distributed to the fixtures.
Example: dial to "Alternate" and select RED & BLUE. If you have 2 fixtures, one will be Red, the other will be Blue...and so on

Hi axell,

Thank you for your answer which effectively could help in certain cases.

However I'm particularly interrested for static position solution to allow me set the position of each lyre individually.
Even be able to move only one lyre at certain time. This is when, for example, during an event I need to put a light/lyre on the wedding cake and follow something else with the other lyre.

Cheers

Philippe

Sorry, I may have had something different in my mind than that what I actually wrote, mixed up static Position with static Color.

Your POSITION issue only could be handled by using Live Edit Presets, I‘m afraid. But you can put both Moving Heads to point to different positions on a single Live Edit Preset button, so the effort can be handled easily.

Bonjour,
J'ai le même problème : comment piloter indépendamment chaque lyre.. ?
J'en ai 4 des Challenger BSW : 2 en contre et 2 à la face (utilisation comme des poursuites)

Pour le spectacle vivant, il serait très utile de pouvoir piloter manuellement chaque lyre indépendamment afin de suivre un musicien ou de pointer vers une zone précise de la scène.
Avec le Wolfmix c'est compliqué
J'ai créé un groupe pour chaque lyre...soit 4 groupes
Dans la fonction position, j'ai réglé des positions précises pour chacune des lyres
Exemples :
-Centre : toutes les lyres pointent au centre de la scène
-Croisées : les lyres de face croisent en nez de scène et les lyres de contre croisent en fond de scène
-Piano : une lyre de face pointe sur le piano + une lyre de contre pointe en contre le piano
En combinant les positions j'arrive à quelque chose de fonctionnel. Mais pas très souple ni très ergonomique

Je déporte donc les paramètres des lyres vers une console DMX analogique pour piloter le pan, le tilt, le focus et le zoom de chacune des lyres.
Auriez vous une autre solution ?

Either you buy a fully programmable Standalone DMX console where you can program EVERY aspect of your Show. Or if it is JUST to control Pan & Tilt via Faders, use WLINK and attach a external DMX Fader box to Wolfmix and assign Pan and Tilt to these Faders. Then you can control individually
