February 2010 Profile Request Thread

Thanks chris.
Sincerely,

Hello, just useing the My DMX software and i am after a profile for "FXLAB Circ1 LED DMX Projection Lighting Effect" if possible i have had a look through the scan library and carnt seem to find anything.
Thanks (First time user) Mark

Welcome to the forums. do you have a link to the product manual i could take a look at? I don't believe i have it in my library. Let me know.
Sincerely,

Hi there, no i dont have one sorry, iv just had a very quick look on the web but i carnt seem to find one, if its causeing loadsa probolems i can have a word with the owner of the light and see if i can san it accross to you?
Thanks Mark

Without a manual or listing of DMX attributes, it's gonna be really tough to impossible to make a profile. If the owner has a manual, please scan the DMX attributes unless you want to take the time to type it up. All I can say is "Don't give up". You might even have to go as far as moving each fader bit by bit trying to discover values.

Need help...

I am looking for a profile for a Optima Lighting LED Par64 Can. It is 5 channels, Red, Green, Blue, Dimmer, and Strobe. Can someone please share a profile with me or make me one. Thanks a bunch, I need it for Friday.

Thanks again,

Kris Brown

Please post a link to the manual or post the DMX attributes.

Unless it's just R,G,B, Dimmer and strobe only. If that's all it is, you can take a 7-channel 64 LED Pro 7-channel profile, SAVE AS and then remove the macro(4) and Channel 6. If nothing else needs to be moved, you SHOULD be done. If in your fixture Dimming is 4 and strobe is 5, you're going to need to flip those around. I would suggest removing channel 4(in your profile) and then re-adding it, which should add it back as Channel 5. Take notes before you delete it so you can make it easier.

I may have this done. Let me check and I will get back to you asap.
Sincerely,

Hello Jingles, i spoke at the start of the week refrenceing a profile for the FX Circ1 LED DMX light, and you need the DMX attributes, after a couple of hours flicking through the internet i think i may have found one,
http://www.electrovision.co.uk/technical/715.doc
is this any good???
Thanks Mark

If that matches your fixture, then yes, that document does list all the DMX traits and could facilitate the construction of a profile.

making the profile now.

Mr. hoyes, your profile was sent to your "BMW" email account.

@Feature I cannot find any information on your fixture. Might need a web link from you. and if you need it soon post the link asap as next week i am out of office all week attending the mobile Beat Show in Vegas. I have searched online and in my personal directory and no luck for a optima led par 64 can. Could have sworn i had one though. Let me know.
Sincerely,

Hello again, another quick request, i have a NDJ Datamoon, and im not to sure if the profile is right on the MY DMX, i have included the manual adress, is it okay to have a quick check because it dosent seem to work with my Datamoon,
http://www.njd.co.uk/technical/354.pdf
Thanks Mark

I don't see any usable DMX traits in that document. Sorry. It does say it works off DMX though.

First, let's bypass this profile stuff. Assign DMX channels and does the unit respond to the DMX controls coming from MyDMX, based on the channels being utilized? You do realize you need a 3 to 5-pin adaptor, right? I'm sure you're way past that. If the unit is responding, then you know it's NOT MyDMX or your wiring.

Remember, profiles just make the fixtures easier for us mere humans to relate to the fixture(s) easily.

Jingles is out this week and I'm slammed on a video project, although I'll be doing lighting updates a lot from time to time.

More information, please.

Hi there,
yea i have got a 3pin to 5 pin aadaptor, to start of with the adaptor was wired up wrong but i hav e since got that probolem sorted.
Its just in the manual it goes on about 4 channels and profile on the MY DMX only has 2 channles,
ill have a play about and see what happends, thanks Mark

Did you make your own adaptor?

I'd tend to trust the MyDMX profiles. They end up being made due to client requests and testing stuff. Not always 100% true, but that's how I look at it.

For example, the stock Mega Panel profile doesn't have the visualizer item done right, and some of the macro settings are off a little bit. I've updated the appearance, but not the macro stuff yet since the macro stuff isn't stuff I'm concerned about at the moment. I need this as wash light. If I need to toss it into macro mode, its typically for a dance or party so it's no big deal.

Back to your issue, typically, in a manual, the DMX traits are on a chart.

Still, glad to hear you're having some degree of success.

Hi, would anybody have a profile for the Laser UK DJ Blend laser, thankyou in advance.
Paul F

Please go ahead and post a link to the manual that has the DMX traits on it, or a web page that has the DMX traits.

It's better when asking to just assume nobody has it(even if you are asking if anyone has one) and throw up the links to save everyone a bunch of time.

Wow, lots of requsts for UK lights these days.

I do not know that fixture. Please read the first post in this thread.

Hi there, after many years with my trusty Celco Navigator I've dragged myself into the 21st centuary by purchasing MY DMX which arrived today! Program looks pretty straight forward, I've had a blast around it in demo mode(fixtures at warehouse). The profiles I seem to need are Mad Qscan and Mad Qstar, there is a Madscan Q411 but they are not the traits of the Qscan. The Qstar is pretty similar in trait to the Qscan but is barrell. Anyway enough rambling for my first post!! Looks cool around here, all seem very helpful, hope you can help me. Cheers, Mikey.

Welcome to the forums Mikey. i found one profile. Let me know if it helps or not. I'll be sending it to you via the email account you used to sign up on this forum.
sincerely,

Thanks guys, i have emailed the manual to Jingles.

Cheers for the quick reply and profile, the profile you mailed is the same as what's already in the scan libary, when loaded into MY DMX and then open 3D Vis only pan/tilt work, no shutter/gobo/colour, light is on all time?

Ya that was kind of a crappy profile. didnt know you already had one in the library. You should have told me you wanted to edit it. i assumed you meant your library just didn't have one at all. Always include lots of detail when asking for profiles. Also the manual for that light is incredibly confusing. doesn't say which channel is what number etc. Let me take a better look at it tomorrow.
@ Paulf1970: i will be making yours soon aswell.
Sincerely,

Under the section *Q range channel alloction* base will be ch 1, base+1=ch2, base+2=ch3 etc...I need profiles for QSTARA/M(4ch) and QSCANA/M(5ch) non rotating. Any more info you need just yell, cheers, Mikey. p.s, whats our time difference, 11-30am over here?

530 am central time here in the US. I Work out of my home in Wisconsin.
Sincerely,

Early bird then! I've noticed in the Martin profile library also, is the Destroyer V1 current, as in is it the Destroyer X250? I have X4 of these fixtures. Cheers, Mikey.

No that was more like late bird. I had not gone to bed yet. haha. The profiles for the martin gear I did not make but I have not heard any complaints from them. Usually if a customer gets a bad profile they will get a hold of me and ask me to fix it. So I can assume that those martin fixtures profiles are in good standing.
Sincerely,

Any news on how my Mad Qscan and Qstar profiles are coming along man? I'm heading off to the unit tomorrow lunchtime(thurs 18th)to hook up MY DMX for the first time!
Cheers,
Mikey

Mikey and beaver give me till end of day on Friday Central time in the USA and i promise those profiles will be done. Been having a Really busy week so far. no time to breathe even.
Sincerely,

Ok cheers mate.

Got the profiles. Thanks so much for the help and quick action. You're a lifesaver!

Many thanks for the profiles, I've edited them with correct col/gobos to match the fixtures. I found scan library editor as straight forward as the program itself, even made a profile from scratch for a MAD 211a col changer, so here's one happy customer, cheers, Mikey.

Good to hear the results.

I found the Library Editor to at first not be totally straight-forward. After looking at a few of my fixtures and pre-made profiles, it made more sense. I still have to think about it, but now it's not trying to make sense of it, more of just getting the work done.

The MyDMX product really packs a ton for the price. I don't think there's a better value.

Hi Chris, I think it's more about just understanding the DMX values and what they actually do. I think I found it straight forward after working on my Celco Navigator for nearly 8 years and making/editing profiles on that. 100% harder/more confusing on an old board rather than have it on screen in front of you! But anyway, I agree about bang for buck, after using MY DMX for the first time yesterday and the editor the results are were fast and problem free.

So if your editing your profiles why did I have to make them if you already knew how? haha.
But you are welcome. It IS my job to make profiles if they are requested. Have a good weekend.
Sincerely,

I figured I would get in amongst the program itself rather than start off editing straight away, YOU know how tedious making profiles is!! LOL! But thanks again, have a good weekend yourself.

Mikey

Hi Jingles
So now I have finally had the time to find the info you asked for to be able to create the profiles..
Below are the pictures and I will try to explain the few words that are in german..

http://www.mypicx.com/02232010/MyDMX_Fixtures/
Pic 1 - Just to show you that you are not wasting your time
Pic 2 - The Laser Box
Pic 3 - The Laser User Manual (In German)
Pic 4 - The Laser Info you need
- Laser Is Off
- DMX control Module
- DMX Show edit Module
- DMX Show Music Module
- Effect Possitioning
- Rotation "Clockwise"?
- Rotation "Not clockwise"?
- Moving speed
- Strobe speed
- Color Effects

Pic 5 - The Scanner User Guide

I sincerely hope you can help us out. We have 8 scanners of that kind plus another 3 Eurolite and we kinda would like to be able to use all of them with the DMX controller

Please let me know if there are any problems..
