pan-tilt resolution
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2009 7:59 pm
Hello,
I was wondering how Easyview 'knows' the pan-tilt resolution for a given fixture? In other words, how many degrees will it rotate at a given DMX-step? Does the application make use of the knowledge that most stepping motors that are used in the fixtures, have the same steps/rotation. Or does it take the pan/tilt range into account that was entered at the fixture definition?
Anyway, when mounting a fixture in Easyview and mounting it in the real world, the positions at a given pan/tilt DMX value never match: in Easyview they point to a certain position on the stage, in the real world will point to a different positoin (yes, the XYZ-posions match, as wel as the rotation angles)
Does anybody know how the application deals with this pan/tilt resolution?
Kind regards,
Rob van Lieshout
