Hi all!
I've got a question but first let's have a small amount of scenario setting.
I am at college (UK) and we're running a showcase in the P.A department in a couple of weeks. The studio we're using is an all-LED rig using primarily ETC ColorSource fixtures. For control we have a Zero88 FLX desk but I'm not a massive fan of that desk so I am going to use ETC Nomad running off my laptop for control as I prefer ETC Eos family desks as that is what I have used in the main.
I have created a magic sheet for quick access and also I am going to be using OSCRFR running off my tablet to allow me to be able to talk to the actors and create states as we're talking rather than having them yell at me from the stage or run up and down the staircase between the booth and the stage. I have patched all the fixtures that are included in the patch of the FLX however....
We have a mirror ball which works perfectly fine if you use the FLX but it doesn't work if you use Nomad. In the patch I have it set to Channel 36 (Address 152) with the fixture personality being the generic mirror ball personality already created in Eos.
I did a little research and we have Zero88 Chilli dimmer racks installed and the second universe on the FLX is relays however I can't imagine that those would have an effect on the control of the mirror ball.
Would the relays and the dimmer racks have an effect on the control of the mirror ball? Is this the correct personality to use? And how do you control a mirror ball using Eos?
Thanks for all your advice!
