playing with capture polar

[monkeypuzzle]

I'm just having a quick play with capture polar and have it talking to MagicQ on the same PC no problem, when I run an FX, I can see the heads move as I have turned up the ambient light level. I can't however get any light out of the fixtures or generics... Its the free copy that you download but they say that the only thing cut is the save button and it times out after 90 mins.... whats the really simple thing I'm doing wrong?

Are you sure that MagicQ is outputting intensity information? You can check this by going to the OUTPUT window and making sure that the intensities are on. If this is the case then check that the information is being received correctly into Capture.

I'm pretty sure the problem isn't at the magicq end, on the front of each fixture in capture I get a figure for what the dimmer level is (0 - FF). I simply don't get light out of the things. Might try on the capture forum. I'm pretty sure its something real simple I'm not doing right.... Any other ideas welcome though. BTW, did you have a chance to look at the desk I borrowed? Also, did Audile put my (out of date) manual in with it?

 

Cheers.
