But for control the fixtures with the wole or console LT ligth it needs the NW LINK/ IPX protocol.
But there is one Problem:
This protocole don't exist in Vista!
Have you heard about this
And have you talked with the LT LIGHT technicians about this problem

Capture With Smartsoft
2922 1 - Started by sound1, last post from sound1
I'm trying to get these 2 to speak to each other and I must be missing something. I am on a network and have also tried it with the loopback but Capture is not seeing Smart.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
SmartSoft Version 2.1.0.9.0.23
Capture version 2.0.34
Thanks.
Kurt Jeske

Very basic problem!
12965 8 - Started by Matt Poole, last post from Lars Wernlund
Hi, I've downloaded the demo version of capture after using it during some training on the Chamsys MagicQ desk. I have MagicQ PC talking to capture and when i run an FX on MagicQ, i can see heads move and on the front of fixtures and generics, i can see a number indicating the dimmer level but i get no beam out of the lantern. Is this a limitation of the demo or am I missing something very simple
Cheers, Matt Poole

Capture Polar startup issues
8062 6 - Started by Lars Wernlund, last post from Lars Wernlund
Hi,
It seems Capture Polar contains a serious bug that prevents startup. We are working hard on resolving it ASAP;
Basic/Extended/SmartSoft Edition simply refuses to start up - aborts after splash screen on some hardware configurations. This appears to happen on some systems not capable of displaying Polar graphics. Capture should revert to 2005 graphics, but appears to abort instead.
Important update: The registry fix we suggested earlier clearly did not work for all. We are currently ...

No Colour Attribute Control in Polar
2936 1 - Started by Deleted User, last post from Lars Wernlund
Hi Folks,
I've just finished a design in Polar and tested it with a showfile using Hog2PC (offline editor) and all runs fine except I have no Colour control of any scrollers or moving lights.
I know the showfile is good as it is from a real show running on-board a cruise ship on a Hog500, I'm trying to use it offline to simulate the lighting for modification with Capture as my visulisation software.
I have had to set Polar to 2005 Graphics settings as even after updating my drivers f...

ATI Mobility Graphics Drivers
3751 0 - Started by Robert Fuller, last post from 2008-11-15 16:33
Hi All,
If anyone is having problems getting up-to-date drivers from their laptop manufacturer for ATI Mobility chipsets, then this tool may help:
http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
Basically, it allows you to download the desktop drivers and modify them so they will install on the laptop. It installed ok for me using the latest drivers. I went from passing none of the Polar tests to passing all but one of them. So, sadly it still won't run the Polar graphics - this is maybe down to the ...

DMX Input Failure
7472 5 - Started by Jon, last post from Lars Wernlund
I'm using the Enttec USB pro dongle to input DMX.
However it is deteched by Capture and assigned to Universe 1. But with a desk on the end no DMX seems to enter Capture.
If I run the Enttec Utility I can test the dongle and can see channels moving in the screen so I know the desk works.
Any Ideas
Jon

Light on an image-file
12041 10 - Started by Andreas Lundqvist, last post from Andreas Lundqvist
Trying to visualize the lighting of a painting, I import an image and use it as a texture on a simple box the size of my frame. When I aim an ETC profile at it, it does not light up like the surrounding materials. The 'affects lighting'-option will only add an ugly white rectangle on top of my image. Of course I can make the image self-lit but that would be skipping the purpose of using capture. Turning on the 'flourescents' in the room lights up the image perfectly on all levels.
Did I miss ...

I only have a 256mb graphics card. My next purchase will be a new graphics card and I am looking at getting one with at least a 1gb of memory.
I am looking to spend around &163;250 - &163;300 on the card.
This is the card I am close to ordering and just wonder what the Capture team or any users think or the card
Has anyone got one

No color beam for Martin fixture
2916 1 - Started by DeAl, last post from Lars Wernlund
Hi all,
I downloaded a demo version of Capture Polar for evaluation purpose. My PC is connected via the Enttec Pro interface to the DMX output of my lighting controller. After some problems with recognizing the Enttec interface and trying to understand the set-up of Capture, it seems to work quite well now.
Except, the beam of the Martin MX-10 or MAC Krypton displayed in Capture remains white all the time, no matter what DMX value is sent on the color wheel channel. Gobo's are displayed correc...
