"head" handling thoughts
Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2016 10:33 am
Hello,
i thought a lil bit about the head funtkion in QLC+.
Wouldn't it be more useful to set the heads (physicals aswel) for the hole device and not just for the different modes? (Also in rows and cows)
I mean a LED bar "always" has multiple heads (zones). In some modes you can operate each on there own and in other modes u can only operate all together.
so in the 2D view u only see one head for a hole bar in a simple ch mode.
Another good example therefore would be the device i recently edited: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9498&p=41725#p41725 (see manual for picture of the device)
It has a total of 9 different heads (1 Laser, 2 Derbys, 2 RGB Spot and 4 White LED Spots) in 3 different rows
The lowest Channel Mode (3) only works with 4 of them but in 2D View u only see one head for the hole device.
But with they way i thought about, u would create all heads for the device and then assign for every mode/channel, with wich head they r working.
For the highest mode u can operate all heads separately and in 2D mode u only see one row with all the heads so it'S quite difficult to see which head is what.
It would be awesome to have an editor view like there is for "fixture groups" in QLC+ with rows and cows but for the heads of an fixture.
In case of the Laser bar, u would have 3 rows: 1st with the laser in the middle, 2nd with the white LED strobes and 3rd with the derbys and RGB Spots.
I hope it is understandable what i mean, since english isn't my mothertounge
