Hi, I've downloaded the demo version of capture after using it during some training on the Chamsys MagicQ desk. I have MagicQ PC talking to capture and when i run an FX on MagicQ, i can see heads move and on the front of fixtures and generics, i can see a number indicating the dimmer level but i get no beam out of the lantern. Is this a limitation of the demo or am I missing something very simple?

Cheers, Matt Poole

No, this is not a limitation of the demo version. Are you sure tha the shutter of the spots is open ?

I'm pretty sure the shutters are open and as I say, when I place generics like profiles or bars of six in the model, i don't get any light from them. I'm sure theres something really simple i'm missing.

Hi monkeypuzzle,

There might be some issue with Capture on your computer, but I'm not sure. You wrote that you could see a number indicating the dimmer levels in the live view - that is good, but what color is it? If it's red it means something else is blocking light output (iris, cmy mix, shutters..), but if it is white, you should really see some light.

Have you managed to see light in any of the provided demo projects? (Disconnect the MagicQ so that it doesn't clear all DMX when you open the files).


Regards,

Cheers Lars,

The numbers are in white and i did manage to get a beam at one point yesterday but haven't been able to repeat it. The software was otherwise stable until this point but now crashes or at least runs very slow as soon as i put a window into live mode. This is with now other programs running. I have removed and reloaded the software to no change.  The system i'm running on is a HP pavillion dv9000 laptop running Vista with a T5600 clocking at 1.83 ghz with 2mb of ram with an NVIDIA Geforce 7600 doing the graphics. Surely this should be enough. I've searched for demo projects but can't find them. Where are they located?

Thanks, matt
