peza2010 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Running a show with a laptop and a chamsys pc wing, mac 250's patched and working. Positions are fine (pan and tilt embossed are fine) colours are all good as are gobos. But I cannot for the life of me find the prism attributes for them. I'm sure they usually come under magenta or yellow (can't remember which, but I cannot access these options) I can however assign fx (a ramp for example, to the prism and this works) but I just want to be able to select the prism and can't seem to do it. The mac 250's are in mode 4 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baldwin Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Surely prism would be on one of the beam pages, not a colour page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesamd4800 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 The prism attributes are under the 'beam' panel, once you are in there they are on the right hand side. Sorry to be brief, on my phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peza2010 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Under the beam page is just the gobos.no prisms what so ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baldwin Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Sounds like your .hed file might be damaged then. I've just fired up MagicQ here (Mac250, not +, Krypton or Entour; mode 4) and prism is encoder D on Beam Page 1 (along with Shutter [A], Focus [C], Rotate [F] and Gobo [X]) Go into Patch, use "Choose Head" to select the Mac 250, then choose "Edit Head" - selecting "View Chans" should allow you to see which (if any) encoder is mapped to the prism.

gareth Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Tried looking on page 2 of the beam attributes? Don't have MQ in front of me at the moment, so can't check, but I seem to recall the prism attribute being on the second page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peza2010 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 A reboot seemed to clear the problem... How strange, Thanks for your suggestions though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvi675 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 For future reference, on systems running v1.4.9.0 or earlier the prism is normally on beam page 1 encoder D. From v1.4.9.1 onwards we have made some significant changes to the personality library including the gradual introduction of 'real-world' values into the personalities and as part of this the prism has moved onto bean page 2 to be with the rotate attribute for the prism.
