Hi,
I want to temporarely blackout all running fixtures when I hit the button (flash) for a few strobes.
I cant see to do that, the others keep running even if my strobe scene sets those dimmer vaues to 0.
What would be the best way to do this?
All help welcome.

When they keep running you have a HTP problem.
(Highest Takes Precedence). When you, in your strobe cue, send a 0 to your other fixtures; their present value stays in control...
Solution:
Change your workload to LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) but then you will face new problems that after your strobe is finished the others won't get back to their original value...
Other solution but this will change your setup quit a lot is the use of a submaster.
In your strobe scene / cue you will have to send a 0 to a loopback channel. This channel has to be bound to the submaster inside the frame where all other lights are controlled. Now when you strobe the submaster dives to 0 and after that (when you send a 255 to the loopback channel) the submaster goes back to full.
(all above topics are already documented lengthly in this forum)
