Thread: Chauvet intelligent lighting

Hey Everyone

I am wondering if anyone has tried to use any of either the Martin or Chauvet intelliegent lighting products with LSP. I read up a bit on the devices and the Chauvet hardware uses 8 universes of DMX for its control. I had a look at the Chauvet Intimidator LED scan 200. It has a data sheet that can be found on their website for reference http://www.chauvetlighting.com/produ..._Rev_03_WO.pdf

Has anyone ever tried this? Any suggestions, Any experience to share?

thanks

David

Hello David, I think you may have that wrong, 8 DMX universes would be 4096 channels which is quite high for one device, I think it might have an 8 channels where a different DMX value sent would trigger one of 8 different effects for the device? If I am wrong, I am sure one of the experts here will correct me.

I just looked at the data sheet again. It uses 8 channels with 512 steps per channel
1 = 1 to 512 for 0 to 180 degree pan
2 = 1 to 512 for 0 to 90 degree tilt
3 = 1 to 512 for colors
4 = 1 to 512 for shuter
5 = 1 to 512 for dimmer
6 = 1 to 512 for gobo wheel and gobo shake
7 = 1 t0 512 for different functions
8 = 1 to 512 for different macros

I have used all this stuff in the past with the manufacturers controllers. I thought it may be interesting to see if it could be controlled via LSP.

created a quick demo for you.

Well.....Isnt that incredibly simple and effective

Now I have to play with that too.

Excellent

I couldn't get the audio to work, but it looks like this was done using 8 channels? George
Update: apparently you have to take the headphones out of the jack in your laptop or actually put said headphones in your ears to be able to hear!!!! LOL

Now that I could HEAR the audio, that is one AMAZING tool!!!!

It is super. I cant even begin to imagine the possibilities
