Can someone tell me how to make pixel line 1044 work in capture.

I've patched them on a D4 as Max 2, 10 channels DMX, In capture I need to make it MAX 6 to have 10 channels. I can see the right channels are patched at the right places in my universe sheets and the values are moving when I move them on my D4. But there's no light output in my live screen

Please help, as I'm up againts WYSIWYG and want to make Capture the favourite visualiser for the festival

Hi,

You are correct - the MAX 6 mode uses 10 channels. Capture interprets the first three channels as RGB and the last channel as the master intensity - could that be the missing link?

I don't think so. I've tried to turn up all the channels, but still gets nothing. I've found this happens with quite few of LED fixtures.

I've sorted it by patching a James thiomas pixel par MAX 6 in capture, and running a pixel line 1044 on the D4. That works, but just lacks the effects engine.

Thanks for replying
