Can someone please test v2.8's shimmer output to an actual Express using the etherdongle for me? I am STILL waiting for my license key!!!! Thanks, this is of major importance to me.
-
I'm using pixelnet and I can tell you it doesn't work well. I am using 2.8
-
Rgb nodes don't really shimmer like regular lights.

I am more concerned with the shimmer on regular lights, that is why I asked if someone could test on an Express?
-
I've been testing them and they do not shimmer well for me. I am using 2.8 . I haven't tried shimmer on my ss so I can't speculate on that.
-
Maybe I am happy to just have any kind of output, but I just hooked up my hardware and it did work!!!! YEAY!!!!!!! That being said it is more of a slow blink than a shimmer but I am thinking/hoping that there is a way to change its rate. Anyone???
-
Did it ever work for the Express on an older version software? The reason I asked was I always heard the original "shimmer" effect was a effect generated by the hardware of the LOR controller and the software only called for that effect to turn on. Both LOR and the older LSP could call up that hardware effect. Now I had some RGB floods that when that effect was called up would blink at a much slower rate and I didn't know if it was 1. a limitation of the flood itself, 2. a limit of dmx, or 3. just because the flood was not using the LOR controller therefore the hardware call wasn't there.
-
Lsp did shimmer last year with just dmx. For some reason things have changed a bit. I hope it gets resolved.
-
Okay I wanted to be sure as I never had any expresses as 8 LOR units were plenty for me and I was doing RGB only from when pixelnet was released to us lucky people. No more bundling 3 different strings together for everything!

So how do I get my new 2.8 registration key? email them?
-
Nevermind I figured it out. Just needed to email them and ask for a new key like I thought.

Keith, my shimmer is slow as well, more like a blinking then a shimmer.

For the record, shimmer works well with conductor playback of an LSP export in 2.5. Shimmer with the conductor is "convulsive".

It didn't shimmer for me on my expresses. I hooked up my hardware and made a test sequence with just twinkles and shimmers, In v2.5 there was no shimmer output, but in v2.8 there was. Weird.

Convulsive???? I LIKE that!!!!! But I have video so no conductor for me!
-
George,
Maybe if you saw shimmer live you would abandon video playback. ;D
Made the "unfortunate" decision to have a few beers before tonight's webinar... Hopefully the test is multiple choice or someone is willing to share the cliff notes.
-
Nobody knew, if I had to guess, and only cause you brought it up, I would have thought you were stoned!!! LMAO
-
It was being recorded and a link will be posted on their site.

Stoned?! Man, those were the days... ;D
In reality, I had no idea my laptop had a mic turned on when I opened my jib. <fp.
