i got the same problem. i have two of them and the one addressed at 1 works fine but no matter how i address the other it only does pan or tilt, not both.

oh, if it helps, these are the only fixtures on this universe and i use a ETC Express 48/96

EDIT: here is a link, http://www.meteor-usa.com/Meteor-elipscan-fixture.html

There is very little documentation for this product, I have little to work with. Sorry!

I moving mirror that moves the light from a Source 4 around the stage. Its just really bad and tends to work very well but the LD likes them.

So what do they do other than pan and tilt? The link above states that they are 4ch DMX and 5ch DMX if you get the pro versions?

I would have thought that 2 channels are all that is needed - 1 for pan and 1 for tilt.

Could this perhaps be the cause of your problems? You may be assigning the wrong channels?

Don't know as I have never used them - but just a thought.

there are 5 channels on my version, PAN, TILT, PAN SPEED, TILT SPEED, RELAY. the relay switches on and off the outlet built into it.

well we have it set up using the profiles that have worked on every single show for four years now they dont. one channel tilt, one pan and one lamp intenisty.

I would suggest calling a moving light specialist.
