johng Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hi, I've been donated 4 Stairville MV250H moving heads. They are not dimmable but they have a shutter. Hitting Blackout on my jester24ML leaves the stairvilles still fully on/open. I'm not particularly experienced, but I'm guessing that that is because there's no dimmer channel on the fixture. What's the best way round this so Blackout closes the shutter ? (Note this will be the first fixture I've ever tried to edit...). Should I just set the default value for the shutter to closed in the fixture editor, save that and then load that in to the desk ? Or would that not work because Blackout just sets channels the desks knows as dimmer channels to zero, it doesn't set other values to their defaults ? Is there a smart way round this issue - essentially I want the darn things to go off when I hit blackout, and closing the shutter is the only way to do that ! Thanks for any help. Have searched the forum and while someone had a similar issue there was no detailed solution given. Regards, John G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi John The only way to do this would be to move the "Shutter" channel into the "Brightness" attributes - this would cause the channel to be sent to 0% when the blackout is engaged. Currently the Jester MLs don't close the shutter when the blackout button is engaged. I hope this helps clear things up, Peter Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
