[Fixture Request] ETEC LED Magic Ball DMX

Your fixture request has been added to the AtlaBase library. It will be reflected in the next rekordbox fixture library update (performed once a week on Wednesday or Thursday except for the national and company holidays). Please find the latest list of the library fixtures here (under Fixture library lists).
However, please don't expect the fixture to be fully functionable because only specific DMX lighting fixture features – such as the dimmer, strobe, color and moving head (Pan/Tilt) – can be controlled with [LIGHTING] mode.
The fixtures, which have other features than the above, may not work as expected. Features like Gobo, along with some effect lights, lasers, fog machines and all-in-one lighting systems aren't supported.
Additionally, your screenshot is not clear. Is channel 1 dimmer? And is it 0-4 and 5-255 or 0-5 and 6-255?

Manufacturer: ETEC
Fixture: LED Magic Ball DMX

Hy Pavlos,

thx for adding this.

I think the functions are kinda similar to this one (with more/other channels obviously): DIGIT LED MAGIC BALL – Pioneer DJ

maybe it helps?

We are sorry but the DIGIT fixture example doesn't help. Could you please tell us if channel 1 is a dimmer? And is it 0-4 and 5-255 or 0-5 and 6-255?

i was able to contact the vendor and got the original mapping in english:

they told me ch 1 is exclusively a strobe effect beginning from 5 the strobe changes from fast to slow.

hope this helps?

Thank you for the information. If channel 1 is strobe, could you please tell us what channel 5 is used for?

according to ETEC ch5: 0-255 does the same as ch1: 0-5 strobe on/off

don't know who had this strange idea. 

That seems strangle ideed. We have updated the fixture in the library.

It will be reflected in the next rekordbox fixture library update (performed once a week on Wednesday or Thursday except for the national and company holidays). Please find the latest list of the library fixtures here (under Fixture library lists).
However, please don't expect the fixture to be fully functionable because only specific DMX lighting fixture features – such as the dimmer, strobe, color and moving head (Pan/Tilt) – can be controlled with [LIGHTING] mode.

thx!

i asked etec about the purpose of this double strobe channel. they told me its all about the dmx channel range, in ch5 it is way more precise configurable than on ch1.

Unfortunately, the information provided is vague and we cannot go on with other changes unless we get clear information on the fixture's DMX details.

Hy AtlaBase Team,

i finally got some time to check this mapping and you're right (and the manual is wrong) ch1 value 0-255 is the dimmer. problem now seems to be that it's not possible to turn the light completely off when putting the master dimmer to zero (it stays on very low dimmed). on other lights it works fine to get shut them completely off. only value 0 and 1 are dimming the lights to off as i tested. maybe you can fix this?

thx in advance for your help!

In conclusion, is channel one dimmer linear from 0-255 or is it dimmer from 0-4 closed, and from 5-255 from 0%-100%?

i finally got found some time to investigate the problem a little bit it's indeed so that we need to fix the dimmer to 0-255 and it works fine.
