Scrollers

[Dan_LD]

Hello,
I am having an issue with Source 4 Revolution scroller rolls. The issue is when I am going to tie next cue, the scroller changes colors on stage while looking for the next color. I have read about changing a play setting to "go on dark," and wonder if this is a quick fix or not? Btw I am using an ETC Congo Jr and only see an option to GO on follow. Is there a way to have the scroller a "Scroll" without it appearing on stage?

One simple fix is to write one cue that affects the Revolution's intensity, followed by a second which adjusts the scroller. You can make them autofollow, or take the scroll move at an appropriate time -- perhaps a longer cue (to eliminate the whirring of a fast-moving scroller) or one that happens during a louder section of the play.

I'm familiar with the EOS family software, not the Congo. Perhaps you could ask on the ETC forums?
