confused Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hello,Just got a new Ion, working with some Mac 250's in our venue. First time we're plotting with them, and in a few cues when the up time is complete the shutters on the 250's closes.All the Shutters are set to open, intensity is at full or 40%, there are no flags or obvious settings in the cue which would make this happen.When cutting to the cue or "going to" the cue it doesn't happen, only when the Go is complete. Any idea on whats doing this? Cheers George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Are they inadvertently ' Marked' (an M if it's anything like the Eos Display in the Cue Stack display) Is the profile wrong? I doubt it as I think they are the same personalities used on the Eos and I've just programmed a heap of them, they were all okay Are the Mac's in the correct mode? Some initial thoughts to be going on with. Cheers Smiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jay Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I cant see marking being a problem as marking would only come into play if the units are at 0%, marking cannot happen if their above 0% and you will get 'Lights active in range' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thanks for the replies, but still no joy. Taken all the marks out, still does it.Personality seems fine too. Have just noticed that it only happens on long cue fades, for example a 30sec fade will make it happen, short fades seem ok. Taking the 30sec fade and making it 15 made it half happen. Tried cue time 30, attribute times 5 and still cut the shutters in. Anyone else got any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jay Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Sorry, Just to clarify, are you saying you want it to go to zero but it is snapping to zero instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm a tad confused here too. So... Mac 250 #1 thru 4 (lets say) @ Full, record Q 100/1 Same fixtures, @0, record Q 100/2 Same fixtures @40 record Q 100/3 from what you are saying, in one or two of those cues, the shutter will be closed. if you did a goto cue 100/3 (lets say) it would be fine, but if you were running the stack, it might have a closed shutter in Q100/3?

confused Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Ok, so small development:Setting the intensity to 99 sorts it, meaning in some cues it doesn't like being at 100% hence why cue complete causes it.Temporary solution, any more permanent solutions welcome!Also make some funny clinking grinding noises when a cue is cut too, as if an attribute is stuck or hitting it's end stops.

Smiffy Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 is it repeatable. In that I mean is it always the same cues that it occurs in, or is it random? Cheers Smiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Always same cues, tried rerecording with automark off, tracking cue only etc but it's always the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
