Hi,

Not an expert at setting lights through Isadora, but I’m pretty familiar with lighting setups. Here’s how it should work:

• Connect the USB/DMX dongle to your computer.
• To check if it’s recognized, go to About This Mac and see if the USB device shows up under one of the USB ports.
• Connect the DMX out of the Enttec to the DMX input of the Chauvet dimmer pack.
• On the Chauvet, use the menu to set the mode to DMX.
• Set the starting address of the pack on the Chauvet (e.g., 1).
• In Isadora, use the serial setup and DMX actors — Gapworks or CitizenJoe can probably help set that up.
• Once configured, when you bring channel 1 to 100% in Isadora, the light connected to socket 1 on the Chauvet pack should go full on.

Same goes for channels 2, 3, and 4.

Hope this helps

best

I didn't think about the tip of simply hiding part of the name!

Well, you couldn't have because you didn't know it was a pixel limit and not a Scene Limit ;)

This issue is one that really annoys me personally, so once we have this next release out the door, I'll see what I can do about pestering one of the programmers to get this bug fixed.

Hello Community,

Anonymous Ensemble seeks an experienced Isadora programmer/operator for our technical rehearsals and run of Anonymous Ensemble's Llontop at Pregones Theater in the Bronx for the first few weeks of January. The job would entail working with technologist Adrian Cameron to help run the interactive installation portion of the show. The job also entails operating a live feed camera during the performance portion of the show (do not need to be expert). The commitment is January 5-18 as well as some paid prep work in December. Bonus for experience with AWS cloud computing, Zoom broadcasting, and Machine Learning. The ideal candidate would be somewhat bilingual Spanish/English. This is a paid position. Please contact eamonn@anonymousensemble.org for inquiries or suggestions.

Warmly,

Eamonn
