Hi,So, when i go on Paper Mode in top view and select fixtures, software freezes for a while. It is practically impossible to any changes in top view. Other views work fine. My Graphics Card is NVidia GeForce 840M. I`m pretty sure that is the cause of problems, since same showfiles work fine on other computers. I`m running on Argo version 21.1.15 and Windows 10, but the problem has been systematically on previous versions of software as well as on Windows 8.1. Anyone have same problems, or know...

impossible on last version 21.1.20. >You can create your own materials in the Design tab of the Project window by right clicking on the Materials branch. You can then applyeither an image from a file, a video on the local hard drive or streaming video source from a connected media server. To apply your ownmaterials to objects, drag and drop them from the Materials branch rather than the Library tab.The Self illuminated property allows you to create materials that simulate light emitting surfaces...

I am planning on connecting my console to Capture, but the console only outputs DMX and not ARTnet. So do I just need to get a DMX to ARTnet converter These converters aren't cheap so I just want to make sure it will work. Also, Is a network switch required to connect a console to Capture Or can I just connect directly from the ARTnet output to the computer's LAN port Thanks

Hi, I've been using Capture Extended for laser and lighting console programming. I'm currently programming a tour that has a video wall and would like to see this video feed in Capture. On the tour I'm using a GrandMA2 to send DMX to control video clips stored on an ImageCue. The ImageCue sends either HDMI or DVI to an Elation scaler, which sends video to the wall. Simple setup & show, no media server involved. I have a separate networked computer used solely for Capture Argo. Is it possible to...

Hi guys, I just purchased Capture Solo edition and so far it's amazing. One thing though, why can't you send ILDA messages into Capture in order to visualise the laser projectors. LaserAnimation and Pangolin are PC only programs and require special DAC's to control the lasers. Why haven't Capture supported the ILDA open laser standard I am an OSX software developer and would love to use capture to visualise the laser projectors from my custom OSX software. Surely it couldn't be too hard to do ...

were do I change the scale from the computer info scale to imperial or even metric measurements

Hi all, the first production of the season is over and I'm finishing my paperwork, now Iam having some issues in plotcreation in the latest version of Argo. I'm wondering if it is a bug or feature ;-) that I can't move the Channelnumber and the DMX-Address-Field in paperview, because I can't select them alone, so now their position is fixed below the symbol. Another thing is that you can assign a filter only in a 3D-view and not in Paperview anymore, that's ok but you always have to search for ...
