[QUOTE="Shane Presley, post: 5893, member: 110"] Martin minimac profile Hey all - I had a problem yesterday with my minimac profile fixtures. I use Lightjockey, and I was using a show that I had previoulsy controlled the mini macs on before. I had movement control of the fixtures, and I could control the colour wheel, but I could not get the shutter to open. I had four fixtures, and they were all doing the same thing... I was using Lightjockey (dual universe) dongle, using about 75 ft of 110 ohm dmx cable to the first minimac - the others were less than 10 ft away from each, each connected with proper DMX cable. Usually I use a dmx distro not matter what, but I was doing two rooms, and the distro went to the "main show room" whereas I was doing decor lighting for a cocktail breakout room... Anways - any ideas on what might be the issue. I know I had good bulbs, becuase on manual control off the fixture, I had the bulb struck, and it would roll through it's test pattern just fine, all 4 bulbs were working. I don't think it was a control ( cable/dongle isse) because I could move them accurately, and control the other functions of the light, just not shutter(intensity)... I also tried BOTH minimac profileds that are available. But again - if I had no issues on the show I already had programmed before - the profile should have worked... thoughts ? [/QUOTE]
