ESAPRO2 - Highlight blackout upon timeline

Post by EVOLVEINSTALL »

U11 - 5 Zones
KE2 - 5 Zones
DE3 - 10 Zones
DINA - 20/5 Zones

Click timeline to edit, it will output the selected DMX level for that 'timelines' X number of selected fixtures causing a blackout to the remaining non selected DMX spectrum, Zonal information is ignored.

Zones might not be in the same Room as you are programming - Causing a blackout to all other zones during programming. For instance, Zone 1 Groundfloor / Zone 2 Stairs / Zone 3 Basement / Zone 4 Basement Toilets

If i am programming the groundfloor Zone 1, i would plunge Zone 2-4 into sheer darkness.

This mode should be an optional within setting tabs or/and be zonal programming.

I'm am aware that if you click add automation - it will keep the all timelines active. However the other zones are still deadly in pitch black.

Also, If i have DMX Relay Triggers - it will kill the DMX Value to 0 turning all my relays off during programming.

Thanks, this is the main fix i would love to see!

It could be as simple as a setting - send a fixed X% to non-programming zones, or send Scene 1 DMX Snap shot..However my scene 1s are normally zone blackouts.
