Help with Default to black

[Ian_p]

All, I've read all the threads I can about default settings - but I'm still having issues with an intermittent flash to white when fading between cues. Worse if the fade is more than a second.

FLX S24, V8 software, using playback 0 in a theatrical cue stack. 

All conventional dimmer lanterns are on page 1 and 3 - no issue with these.

All LED fixtures are on page 2 for convenience. I select all by holding first channel button and pressing the last and then I can see RGBW on the inbuilt screen - moved these to 0, press 'Record', 'Home', 'Default'. 

Only it doesn't seem to work. Still getting the flash - but only sometimes not every fade which baffles me. Do I need to set default fixture by fixture...?

Is there a way to look at the config of a fixture and see what the defaults are? At present  I seems I can only overwrite the default - without seeing its present state.

Any assistance would be gratefully received!

Cheers

Ian

Please could you upload your showfile here? We may then be able to figure out if it's a problem with the fixture itself, or if the fixture has some funny channel on it in the profile causing this erratic flashing behaviour, thank you.

The previous 'Edit Fixtures' window to see and change defaults of fixtures was removed in ZerOS 7.9.3 in favour of the new Fixture Schedule section of SETUP. To see a fixture's defaults, you could select the fixture(s) and page through the different attributes and see each individual parameter value on the internal touchscreen of FLX S.
