Nicolaudie Architectural Forum

I've encounter the same problem and directly contacted the US representatives of Nicolaudie. There is unfortunately no solution. ESA Pro's file structure is unfortunately extremely unstable. The software is easily overwhelmed with too many DMX channels and computation intense effects like fades, etc...

Hi everyone! I've discovered tempo problems with several Nicolaudie hardware platforms (SLESA-UE7, SUITE2-FC) running ESAPRO version May 5, 2017. I am using ESAPRO in standalone mode on a lot of my permanent architectural applications. I realized that the tempo of the scenes is slowing down graduall...

Hi there, I'd like to start using 16-bit dimming to control simple RGB LED-strips in order to achieve smoother fades especially in low brightness region. I assume that should be possible in ESA PRO with the right fixture profile. I found profile "rgb16bits" in the "_varied" ScanL...

Dear All, I thought this would be an easy one... I need a simple single color dimmer for custom made LED-fixtures. It is basically a single channel dimmer with DMX values from 0-255 that works exactly like the "single channel" in the "_generic" fixture library but displays its sp...

Hi there, One of my older SIUDI-7A interfaces stopped working with ESA or ESApro. It is not getting recognized by the applications. If I run the Hardware Configuration tool I can still update the firmware and it even works in the Test tab. It sends and receives data but neither ESA nor ESApro recogn...

Hi, I got a very interesting e-mail from Nicolaudie on September 19 announcing "20000+ DMX Channels control" for the SLESA-UE7. The e-mail promises: "We're pleased to announce the new SLESA-UE7 with network synchronization. Create a multi universe show in ESA Pro and connect several c...

Hi all, I have a large amount of RGB fixtures with an uneven white balance. Some fixtures have a perfect "cold" white when all 3 DMX channels are at 255. Some are a bit pink, some are a bit blue-ish. I thought about creating custom fixtures with the ScanLibrary Editor to have 3 preset fixt...

Dear all, Fading between scenes works in Live mode but not Stand-alone mode. Hardware Controller - SLESA-U7 Firmware - 1.19 Software - ESA Pro Beta I've tried this on different computers, different SLESA-U7 controllers, with different older firmware and ESA Pro versions but the result is always the ...

Dear all, I am encountering multiple problems both hard- and software or a combination of both... System description: Controller - SLESA-U7 Firmware - 1.19 Software - ESA Pro Beta Operating system - WIndows 8 I've tried 3 different SLESA-U7 controllers, all of them seem to encounter similar problems...

Hi there, I am trying to use ESA in conjunction with the SLESA-U7 controller to output multiple universes. Unfortunately ESA only seems to be able to output on the universe 1 DMX port of the SLESA-U7. The SLESA-U7 works perfectly on 2 universes with ESA-Pro, though. It looks like the ESA software ha...

Hi there, I am using ESA Pro to control high brightness RGBW powerPix EldoLED light fixtures. Testing the fixtures with ESA Pro's generic RGBW fixture I realized that the color white is not pure white but simply a mixture of RGB at 100%. The white LED in the fixture is not being used at all. If I us...

Hi there, I am using 256 custom RGB fixtures for a large architectural installation. To get white each RGB channel has to be set at 255. Unfortunately this leads to an very uneven white. Some fixtures have a slightly red tint, some more blue, etc. Is it possible to white balance or calibrate fixture...

Just in case you encounter the same problem I solved it by reformatting the smart media disk.

Hi, I've downloaded a simple show with 10 scenes from ESA Pro to my SLESA-U7. The scenes run sequentially form A01 to A10 and then loop back to A01. Unfortunately in standalone mode the loop stops running after a couple of times, jumps to A00 and then everything stops. The number of correctly execut...

Hi there, I'd need profiles for the following 3 fixtures: ETC Selador D40XT – Easy Standalone Pro has the 5 channel fixture profile I want. It's mode 3 and has hue, hue, saturation, intensity, strobe but I can only edit the intensity channel when I create a scene. This of course doesn’t make any sen...
