Re: hi all, new to controlbooth and have a question, how to unstrike lamps in showcad
"Unstriking", also known as "Lamping off", usually involves taking the Control Channel of the fixture (s) in question to a specific value, and leaving it there for a specific amount of time, 3-10 seconds, or similar. Some lights require a multi-step process: close the douser/shutter, then issue the command on the control channel, then do something else. You didn't state your control system (or maybe you did--never heard of ShowCAD), but if it allows macro s, that's a good way to automate the process. Look in the User Manual for details on your particular instrument s. Some lights will also unstrike if they lose DMX after a specified period. Others will simply hold last look upon loss of DMX.
