LIGHTWRIGHT ADD PART PATCH

Since I would rather not add a series of House light channels to LW, I manually corrected it. Last item is channel 200 (house lights) which takes 7 addresses, and Lightwright only has one entry for it.

Regardless, it’s time to do a manual correction it is.

LIGHTWRIGHT ADD PART PATCH

The issue is in how I set up the fixture in LW- I didn’t want zone control over a tiny LED light, so I made the patch a multi-dimmer fixture instead of a fixture with 4 parameters all responding as one. Curiously, when I correct the DMX quantity in Maintenance>Instrument Type, Lightwright still won’t make the correction. I had assumed that UV Led lights would have only one parameter. Channel 148 is the equal opposite- the channel is not in the console, so I remove it from the Lightwright file.ġ71 through 174 is an interesting issue to me. Add the fixture, and the issue is solved. Conveniently, I think we have an example of every other reason Lightwright wouldn’t be able to reconcile.Ĭhannel 80 is easy- it’s not in Lightwright, and LW isn’t able to add records by itself. My working method is to confirm in the center bottom of the window and then re-run the Compare Console Patch command again and view what remains. Let’s look at mine.Īll the things with an asterisk can be automatically corrected. Lightwright will produce the familiar Report window, but there are just a few things to know, since there are things Lightwright cannot do automatically. Now that’s done, on to the new stuff: Go to Utilities>Compare Patch vs. Depending on the show file size, it may take a full minute or two for the first sync to be complete. Click the box at top for Use Console Link and I would suggest clicking the box for Get All Cues Now if you have any in the board. If you are on a PC, and are using both Lightwright and EOS on the same computer, you will need to enter 127.0.0.1 instead of the console IP. In the dialogue box that opens, input the IP Address of your console (found by pressing About in EOS and reading the info on the left under IP). Now click the Light bulb shaped icon in the upper right hand corner. In Lightwright, go to Setup>Dimming&Control and under Console type, select the only choice: ETC EOS Family. I have the ports numbered (80) for use with TouchOSC, but they are not relevant to Lighwright. In EOS, go to Setup>System Settings>Show Control. Start up Lightwright if it’s not already and make sure both are in the same show file. It will save you hours of misery in the future.Ĭlick Accept and exit the Shell. This little “1.0 vs 1.1” thing is worth remembering for ANYTHING else with OSC integrating with EOS. Breaking with tradition- you want to choose the older protocol version 1.0 NOT 1.1. Immediately below that, notice that there is a pulldown menu for OSC to choose between two versions of the protocol. In the network tab, scroll down to Interface Protocols and make sure that UDP Strings & OSC is turned on.

First, a recap on how to link EOS and Lightwright.īoot up your console, or open EOS Nomad and go into the shell by clicking Settings.

A favorite function of mine that Lightwright 6 added is the ability to reconcile patch with EOS through OSC.
