Enttec DMX Light Flickers

Eva

Hi,

I have a setup with dmx + 8 Astera lamps. I have used the patch with the dmx universe enntec compatible and the lights are working fine. But when I transition from 1 stage to the next, there is a little flicker or blink in the light before it changes color. Is there a way to make it smooth? I imagine something with a virtual stage - I remember seeing it somewhere, but Im not sure what to put in there and how to make it smooth:)
I would appreciate any help:)

All the best
Eva

@Eva Do you mean from one scene to the other ? Stages, being video normally have nothing to do with the DMX

Eva

@Armando It is the color of the lamps that is flickering not the video:)

Armando

@Eva I understand but you talked about "transition from one stage to the next". Stage in Isadora is JUST video. That is why, to try to help, I asked if by saying "transition from one stage to the other" you meant "transition from one scene to the other.

@armando,

Sorry, now I understand, yes its between stages. Or Q1, q2 etc. What should I pug in the activated scene behind?

I can't seem to make it work. could you help me?Here is my patch.

Its now set to activate in Q11 the Q1 but Im not sure what to put in there if I want to change light. right now the scenes I use start from Q13.It would be really¥ nice to figure this out.
Thanks

Hi Eva,

I guess the light settings in both scenes are different.

AFAIK when transitioning from one scene to another, those values differing between the scenes do kind of crossfade. So does the DMX information.
One possible solution, to avoid flickers could be starting the second scene with the same lighting values as the former one and do the "light transition" inside the scene.
Inside the second scene, use as many envelope generator actors as needed to change the desired values. Start from the former value and go to the desired one in the amount of time you want.

I hope this helps.

All I need is the .izz file. Maybe you're trying to upload a .zip file or something else? Failing that, you can always send in your file via a ticket using the link in my signature.

Unfortunately what you started with doesn't help me in this situation, I need to see how you implemented it. I suspect that you may not be using a background Scene for lighting, but I can't confirm that without looking at what you've programmed.
