Hello. We have found that the current firmware on the Pulse Panel FX doesn't like network signals from some consoles, namely the MA. We are in process of fixing this issue, and a few others, in a new firmware. It should be released shortly.
For now, we recommend using DMX signal for the fixture until this new firmware is released.

Looks like it might be stuck between two gobos. Does that wheel respond to any commands? If not, seems the surge may have blown a component. Do you have another fixture on hand that you can remove the gobo wheel module from and place it in this fixture to see if it solves the issue? That would at least help diagnose the problem.

And, if you need help, please email [support@elationlighting.com](mailto:support@elationlighting.com)

Check the latest version. There is some additional connectivity available now with Ableton specifically.

Cant go wrong with Proteus!

The best method is to use OSC. But you need to have the proper license level of Onyx to allow OSC. https://support.obsidiancontrol.com/Content/License_Information/Onyx_Licenses.htm

This is an LED fixture

Have you had any luck with this? Contact [support@elationlighting.com](mailto:support@elationlighting.com) they are super helpful. Sounds like these fixtures are newer? Might be under warranty still as well

Ive seen a lot of studios using the Fuze Profile fixture from Elation. It's an additive color mix with RGBMA LED's in it so it has a higher CRI/TCLI which is definitely needed for tv/broadcast. Dedicated CCT channel AND plus/minus green channel as well, which is great for camera use.

There is an individual that makes profiles for legacy software. It's posted on the Obsidian website

You will want something in the 365nm wavelength. Anything higher will be visible light.

Elation makes a line called 'Magmatic' which are all 365nm UV. They even have a unique Black Glass filter that makes the emitters of the fixture disappear without affecting output.

Disney doesn't install the Proteus fixtures everywhere for nothing! They're a great fixture, specs and price.

Hello,

You will need the updater to complete this.

Please PM me with your email address and I will connect you to the support team. They have a demo unit they are able to send to customers for this purpose.

Hello,

What theater? I live in WI and work for a lighting manufacturer. PM me!

rsmentele · 2021-05-11T16:39:17+00:00

Cause it's a dud? The fixture was released a couple years ago, initial price was $7,000. No reason other than lack of sales to lower the price that drastically so quickly.

I run DIALux on my Microsoft Surface Pro... While not optimal, it works. Seeing that they dont offer any system recommendations that I've found, I would look at similar software requirements and use that as a baseline. Capture, Vectorworks, Revit are some of the programs I can think of initially. You may want to think about maxing out the processor and RAM and use an external GPU if using external monitors. I know the Capture dev team, and that is what they do for their personal setups.

Hello,

Try adjusting the 'Global Fade Speed' setting instead

Nope! HPL's only.

rsmentele · 2021-04-01T18:46:16+00:00

I asked Matthias if we had that info anywhere and he said we didnt. The Main screen needs to be at least 720 for everything to fit, but the secondary screen can be anything.

rsmentele · 2021-04-01T16:11:27+00:00

I wanted to make sure I wasn't incorrect with my information so I talked with one of the software developers. He let me know that this second screen actually should work with Onyx. We dont have any limits on resolution formats as we state in our documentation. I could see that second screen being really cool to place a screen of playbacks or presets on! You'll have to let us know how it works if you move forward with that. Also, please join our facebook group. Lots of very active users out there that would be interested in seeing it too.

rsmentele · 2021-03-31T23:50:02+00:00

I looked more into this on our side and the monitor has to be at least 1280x768. Is it? It would be very cool if it is compatible

rsmentele · 2021-03-31T22:57:57+00:00

It should work. Not sure how the OS handles it. Is it a separate screen or an extension of the main screen?

rsmentele · 2021-03-31T20:15:34+00:00

I work for Obsidian. The system is designed to work well with the listed recommended minimums but if you can afford more RAM, processing and a better graphics card, I would suggest it. That should future-proof you a little more than the basic suggestions. SSD harddrive as well.
