When you trigger the Blackout or Blinder buttons, it will control channels 1-4 as usual (i.e. set them to 0 on blackout or 255 on blinder), however this will not show any changes on the fixture because the auto programs channel is overriding the RGB + Dimmer channels on the fixture itself. So this is actually determined outside of the Wolfmix's programming.

Unfortunately the only way around this would be to not use the auto programs function and instead try to program a similar type of effect using the Wolfmix's controls.

Hello Willm,

thanks for the explanation, this makes it more clear and currently I don't have an issue with that, but wouldn't it make sense, to set for the blackout all channels to "0"? Or at least all except for the moving channels (Pan, Tilt, Rotation, Gobos ...)?

Yes so this is exactly what the Blackout button does actually. The only instances where this will not happen is when either a Live Edit is set on the channel(s) or there is a DMX Input on the channel(s) that is set to 'FORCE'. If neither of these are the case- then the Blackout button will set the RGB values to 0, the Dimmer to min value, and the Shutter to Shutter Closed - whatever is most relevant for the fixtures you are using.

This particular issue that I was referring to was occurring because even though the Dimmer and RGB values are set to 0, the fixture's Macro control was active- so the fixture ignores anything you do on the Dimmer or RGB channel. This is a function of the fixture itself, rather than the controller.

Kind regards,
Will
