[LEDJ LED PAR 64]

well theres 2 options

 

lets say they have 4 channels

 

1-red

2-green

3-blue

4-strobe

 

you can either address them all as 1 and then controll them using the faders

 

or there is a fixture personality avalible somewhere on the zero88 , for led par cans

 

to be honest if your only using them as like a wash , and not really trying for special patterns with them ,your best bet is to use them on the faders

 

nice and simple

hey there alex

 

once you have the movers running on the desk and have controll of them , the best thing i can sujjest is that you select the fixtures you want to use for the search light scene , then leave them open white , no gobo or colour , then press the position button or the wheel group button till you see

 

Effect Size X Size Y

 

 

that will allow you to make shapes with the beams e.g. figure of 8 triangle circle

 

set the sizes to what ever you wish , then press position or wheel group again and you can set the speed and offset ,so they either do or dont move in sync

 

 

save that as a memory then program the postion you want straight after and take of the ltp fade time , and set postion to snap and then save that as the memory after

 

example

 

Memory 1 : seachlights , movers making shapes

memory 2 : snap to position

 

 

i hope that helps ,

 

best of luck and hope i can help you more

seems the only way to get them to work its to reboot the desk

[Where do you use your Frogs?]

Mine Gets used in a couple of diffrent places around Walthamstow E17 area

 

schools , theatres , outdoor music concerts,

 

 

 

but it seems to take pride of place in my bedroom running a set of 4 dmx scanners because i got bored with my normal bedroom lights and thought

 

hey why not mix it up at bit

[LCD becomes unclear]

A very good freind of mine has given me the best and cheapest repair possible

 

AND IT WORKS

 

 

What you need :

 

1 Clean unscratched CD Case Seethrough/ Clear.

1 Stanley Knice

1 Ruler

1 Fat Frog

aobut 30 mins

 

 

step one mark and cut out from the cd case a peice 4.5cm by 8.5 cm

 

take the desk apart and remove the screen moddulle , be carefull not to loose the spacers

 

cut out the thin coated screen from the chassis of the desk and neaten up the edges

 

using very small peices of sticky tap , tape the peice of plastic you cut out over the hole FROM THE INSIDE!!!!

 

carefully re attach the screen module do not do the screws all the way up , if you do MAKE SURE YOU BACK THEM OFF HALF A TURN

 

attachind is a before and after shot

 

any questions then feel free to ask

 

 

Best of luck

 

 

PLEASE NOTE : i take no responisbility if you mess up your own desk , im simply giving you an idear

 

 

also it may be adviseable to put a thin ring of silicone selant around the edge , just incase you do happen to spill anything on it !

[Duplicate DMX patching]

hey there

 

 

say ive got a dimmer rack of 100 channels

 

 

and i want the FIRST generic FADER on the fat frog to controll channels < 1, 12 , 24 > i.e a set of channels so when i push one fader up the selected channels come up

 

 

 

is this possible?

 

Thanks

[dmx universe]

ok thanks

 

 

makes a bit more sence now

 

althought 1024 channels woulda been more use than a splitter

[LCD becomes unclear]

We are not going to publish an *official* repair because of the possibility of further damage to the desk or to yourself with the substances involved. We also cannot make any guarantees about the durability of a repair where we have little or no control over the process.

 

What we did try ourselves was to remove the remains of the existing lacquer with a solvent, then reapply and cure a new lacquer. This would be best done in a paintshop which is dust free and has the necessary fume extraction. The results weren't as good as the original finish, but it was an improvement on a non-readable display. If you do try this, then it's at your own risk. Please do read and follow all the safety advice for the substances involved.

 

 

cure a new lacquer.....

 

any particular one , because i somewhat doubt a homebase jobbie is going to cover it ?

[dmx universe]

so how why is there 2 dmx outputs on the FAT FROG , ok ive not looked into it greatly

 

 

2 universies should mean 1024 dmx channels right ?

 

so why does the desk only ever list 512?

 

 

am i missing something ?

 

 

id like to use univers A for generics and univers B for fixtures , is it possible on the fat frog

 

 

Thanks

Sam

[LCD becomes unclear]

ok zero88 thanks for merging this

 

 

shame that theres still no OFFICAL REPAIR

 

 

 

to be honest the only thing i can think of doing is this

 

 

open the desk , cut the flim screen off and replace with a 1mm sheet of clear acrylic aplied with small amounts of silicone sealant

 

 

any sujjestions other than that???

 

thanks

Sam
