Beam FX feature Zoom not working FW 1.2.4

[excelsior2000]

I am using two groups of lights where group A are Cameo Auro spot Z300 with Zoom and Focus. Group B are Vega Matrix Wash.

When I choose "Zoom" in the Beam FX ´nothing happens. I can't see any changes of the DMX value. However every other feature like pan, tilt, dimmer.. works fine.

Thanks for any help

Hello,

Thanks for raising this topic! I have just tested this and on my end, I am not able to reproduce the problem with the Auro Spot Z300 fixture. The Vega Matrix Wash doesn't appear to have a Zoom channel in the fixture, so this will not take any effect on that particular fixture.

Could you please confirm the following:

- Do you have any Live Edits active, which might be controlling the Zoom channel of the Z300s?
- What settings are you using on the Beam FX engine?
- Channel 12 of the Z300 fixture should be affected by the Zoom Beam effect, are you able to see any movement there with a speed of ~50% and a Size of 100%?
- If you open a new empty project and patch a single Z300 into the project, then test out the Zoom Beam effect- does this now show movement on channel 12?

Kind regards,
Will

Hi Will,

it is now working. I think it was my fault. In the live edit section the "zoom" encoder was set to a fixed value. I just didn't realize that I have to "turn off" the manual zoom value by pressing the encoder until the text turns gray.

Thanks anyway for your help.
