I find it quite strange that using the ACL pars in this manner does not have the same effect.

Since this kind of is the way you use a stage blinder it would be very appreciated if you can solve this issue, otherwise the fixture is quite unusable.

I have the eact same problem. I've bought a top end HP laptop with 6 GB ram, 2 G GC NVIDIA Gforce. And intel I7 cpu. It does run capture polar beautiful but when I tried to patch in 18 8 lites it would almost crash completely. I even tried to move the camera to the side so I didnt look directly into the beams, and still capture would freeze for 5-10 seconds. Also, I have no problems when any other lights...movers ACLS etc point into the lens. I agree this is a bug that would be nice to get fixed as it does take away from any presentation you make Thanks Yenz N

Hi i have the same issue... 16 sunstrips towards the audience. Is there any way of minimizing the performance drop off?? Nick
