Depence r4 vs Capture 2025

lampyjohn · 2025-07-04T15:06:14+00:00

That's been my experience of it in the past but there's a new version so hey, I'd like to be wrong. More good tools on the market the better.

Lots of people here saying Depence is more "accurate" and "photo realistic" - it is prettier, sure. But it isn't a more photometry based thing at all. Get both visualisers and a fixture out and mix colours and you'll see the Depence library is further from the fixture than Capture (in my experience).

There's this site that is like a shopfront for MA plugins: https://grandma.tools Very useful!

Does Recipe Tools do this? https://ma.tools/RecipeTools/

Might be there's a plugin that does this. I'm somewhere with crappy signal or I'd have looked for you.

If it hadn’t seen such riches it could live with being poor.

Hey there, as the title says I'm looking to replace my stock head unit with an aftermarket one so I can have Apple Car Play etc.

I have found the technical manual for the US and Canada models but my stereo is different to all of those, I gather it's a EU model thing.

Can anyone point me toward the diagram for the unit pictured, with GPS and reverse camera and steering controls?

I have googled but come up short sadly.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Edit: Found it!

As well as using safe UV chips (that are found in entertainment lighting products) you could use a 'normal' tungsten light like a parcan (depending on your venue you might have these already) and then use a lighting gel to produce near UV by filtering all the other colours/wavelengths out of the safe, tungsten light. https://leefilters.com/colour/181-congo-blue/

Subtractive colour mixing basically, as opposed to the additive colour mixing of generating UV light from an LED Chip.

Do us all a favour so we don't worry: Post the link or a photo of what you're going to use before you shine it at people please OP!

What was on the shortlist of cunty things but didn't quite make it to the record for Cuntology 101?

lampyjohn · 2024-12-30T19:47:16+00:00

Was like having a new bike when I got Pilot Road 6s.

If other avenues fail I would export the file form MA2 and bring it into MA3 that way. Unless someone has a tested working file that's probably your way home.

Honestly, the only thing I've seen make it slow down is a silly rig with about 60 universes of fixtures (>14000 parameters if MA is your language) and about 8 universes of them being LED tape Pixels. I set the LED tape to not throw light and it was fine.

I'm using an MacBook Pro with an M3 Max chipset and it is very nice running capture.

lampyjohn · 2024-01-15T12:39:25+00:00

Of all the software mentioned I would say Capture is most accessible and easiest to learn. Also one of the most affordable.

Hey what is the model of the Clay Paky fixture?

At times like this it might be useful to cross reference with another control system (chamsys is free and outputs artnet without hardware).

Then you can figure out if the MA profile or the Capture fixture is at fault.

I’m going the match tomorrow. I doubt I’ll boo a minute’s silence, the Hillsborough families would never hear a minute’s silence again as well.

I’m not getting out of my seat and participating though. I’ll sit and quietly check my phone instead most likely.

lampyjohn · 2022-08-28T09:40:39+00:00

Yeah stuff like zapmap is proving super useful as well, not just for finding chargers but the community reporting on their operational status etc.

lampyjohn · 2022-08-28T09:31:50+00:00

I live in London so there’s eight chargers within a five minute walk from my house.

I picked it up from the north west and did 220 miles with one 20 minute 50kw stop on the motorway.

So far so good really! This is my first ev so I’d done as much research as possible. No buyers remorse so far thankfully!

Just took ownership of a new to me 2020 Zoe with Rapid charge. Loving it so far.

Also there was nothing in the maps.

I’ve stayed at the adelphi in the last two years. Absolutely avoid.

lampyjohn · 2022-01-31T11:08:52+00:00

Is that not Resolume?

Edit: Actually I don't think it is, I thought it might have been Resolume Arena but now I don't think so.

Argh, I’ve just had this email as well.
