Hi,

I’m using the Cameo Root Par 6 with Beta 6. All the sliders are working correctly, but the color selector seems to be unlinked to channels 4, 5, and 6. If I change the color in the DMX monitor nothing happens.

When I use the individual sliders instead of the RGB color selector, the LED PAR works as expected.

Hope that makes sense—let me know if you’d like a short video to illustrate the issue.

Best,
Zolt

Hi Zolt,
Sorry for the late reply. Can you send me your project file in private message ? I'll check that. I can't reproduce your issue actually.

even with blank project I get the same behavior
Here are two small videos https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... share_link

one for mm5 one for mm6

Maybe I'm missing something with mm6 a new configuration ?

Ok. In MadMapper 6 the DMX Fixtures are sampling the pixel below it in the output preview. So you have to put a video surface with some visual on it, if not indeed it will be black

Ok, it's working.
What is the advantage of this new behavior ? something around "led screen" ?

You can mix from a visual do another or do compositions with multiple video layers.
You can also create a bunch of DMX Fixtures lines, select them and choose "Create Lines from Surfaces Outlines" which will get you to nice effects fastly.
You can see all your fixtures at the same time, even if you apply different visual content on different fixtures.

thanks I get the idea.
