Limit highest value for RGB Matrix?

Howdy all,

I've separated my RGB and dimmer channels on my PAR cans into different fixtures, to try and give me some more flexibility. All is well, but I want to be able to use the Dimmer channel in the matrix generator to make chases that are colour independent. However, the problem I am having is that I am not able to limit the output of the RGB matrix generator to a certain value. This is a problem because above 185, my fixtures strobe, which makes any kind of fade look awful. Using a submaster in live mode is not possible because it will mess with my already delicate Submaster setup.

Thanks!


EDIT: I guess what I'm asking for is an intensity setting for the RGB matrix.

Hi,

there is a problem with supporting different cases here. I have to look at it.

The intent was that dimmer-only fixtures should also work. But then there are RGB only fixtures, and RGB fixtures with dimmer channel, and multihead RGB fixtures (LED bars) with only one master dimmer channel -- you see the problem.

Intensity setting should also work, but doesn't either...

Hi Jano,

Tried some pretty crazy workarounds today. Tried to make a single channel fixture that was a colour change with only a red channel, then changing the RGB value to 185,0,0 (185 being the highest brightness before it strobes).

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Joe, I have fixed the intensity setting in git. Now it's possible to either control matrix intensity by using a slider, or set a predefined intensity in the button's properties.

I'm now going to fix the various channel combinations (hopefully).
