Hi there -While the SmartFade is a great small controller and is still available, it is a bit aged. I suggest you take a look at the ColorSource family: http://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Lighting-Fixtures/ColorSource/Consoles.aspxThanks much -Sarah

Hi there -You don't mention if you're on a PC or Mac. If you're on a PC, you should be able to install the "Loopback Adapter" which is a piece of software that behaves like a network connection. Google "Install Loopback Adapter Windows #" where the # is the version of Windows you are using...

I suggest calling your local ETC dealer or ETC Technical Services directly. I'm sure they can help you out.Thanks -Sarah

I'll just point out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl-Ao0hIFwH8FM5QMqiN0z8baMcqAQLmC which is a link to the ETC Video Library Cobalt Tutorials playlist (these show the Cobalt hardware, but the Congo jr and Kid are very close for basic operation and the software is exactly the same.) We...

Time commands are not affected by At Mode, only channel selection and level setting. I also recommend looking at the ETC Video Library channel on YouTube for the Cobalt tutorials. Your knowledge of the Ion in this case will likely only cause you frustration as the Cobalt and Eos families are...

If you set the default times as follows: Default GO time = (nothing - use 0 or clear MODIFY to clear this cell) Default In time = 5 Default Out time = 5You will have exactly what the Expression does. 0 TIME in this case will give you a snap time. Any other times you enter will give you the...

Hi there -You can add a Wait or a Follow time to a step. A Wait time counts from the completion of the step it's tied to, then triggers the next step. A Follow time counts down from the GO of the step it's attached to, then triggers the next step. In the Sequence Editor list, find the WFA...

Hi there -In the Output Editor, the command to patch is # OUTPUT, then # MODIFY. I expect the system has no patch to start with, so when you type 1 CH/ID, you're trying to select a channel number that does not yet exist in your patch.Hope this helps -Thanks -Sarah

We also have video tutorials on the basic functions on our YouTube channel (ETC Video Library - look for the Cobalt play list). Jason described Fetch well, there's also the option to go the other direction - # CHANNEL & RECORD will record intensity from selected channels into the preset # you...

Hi Ric -You'll feel right at home. :-)I'm working on the demo console thing. Stay tuned!Thanks -Sarah

Hey Ric -Change the region setting for the web site - I see that if you have it set to Australia that the page does not load properly. Try Europe/English and you should see everything ok. I'll let the Web folks know to sort out the settings for Australia.Thanks-Sarah

You owe me a Coke... ;-)

Hi there -I wasn't going to jump in on this thread, but the statement by Derek has motivated me. If you'd like a good explanation of why R80 is very rarely "always R80" then please take a look at this article by Mike Wood. There are so many variables involved when trying to match a perceived...
