Intensity Fade Time Bug

Hi, is all of the same type(s) doing this? What fixture types are they?
Would some of the fixture type be observing the time, and others of the same type not?
Was it consistent which were and were not observing the fade time?
Any chance the ones not observing are all on the same universe and the ones working correctly all on a different universe?
Can you give any more details?
Do you know what software version the showfile was created with? Was it originally a Hog 3 show?

Thanks

Hi Mitch
It's not restricted to one fixture type, in the current showfile I'm looking at there are Auras, Vipers and B-eye K10's which are all displaying the same behaviour but not necessarily in the same cues
All the same fixture types display this behaviour in the same cues
It does not seem to be consistent as in the same fixtures will always snap on. But it does seem that the same fixtures display this behaviour in the same cues even after a reboot
The fixtures are on different universes
Both files were created on Hog 4, the first on 3.2.??? and I'm fairly certain I created the current file (different show) on 3.3.0

It looks as though the fixtures all fade out at their correct time

I don't know if this helps at all, but a cue originally recorded with Aura's at full, then updated (or merge record, I don't remember) to Auras at 0, plays back as follows.
Cue 2 Aura@ no intensity programmed
Cue 3 Auras programmed @ 0 (updated cue) fade time 2sec globally - Aura's snap to full then fade to 0

Let me know if I can provide you with any further info

Probably related, I've discovered a IFCB fader with an intensity chase as the only cue snap's to a base intensity of full when fading up from 0
Looks like it uses the correct 0% intensity base at around 70% fader, also fades out correctly with the fader

Hello Gordo,

Please send me your show file as I am not seeing this with a new show. I started a new show on 3.3.0 b1175 and patch an Aura standard, record a cue with the intensity at full and played back the cue. The intensity correctly faded from 0 to 100.

I also quickly tested this on on 3.2.1 and again the intensity correctly faded using the fade time.

I am suspicious this might be a bug related to marking. Are any of the effected cues marked or right before a marked cue?

Hi Chris

I don't make use of any Mark Cues, but do hard program in all my movements in black

Michael,
I've emailed you the showfile I'm currently working on, listing some of the cues where this behaviour can be spotted

Thanks

Hi, I have this problem when I mark a cue...

From Michael:

" I am able to see the problem in your show and can recreate it in a new show.

The problem is uninitialized Intensity values are applying the incorrect fade time when initialized in a tracking list for the first time.

I have logged this as D-2784.



This will only occur if the fixture(s) has a CMY value tracking and then intensity is added to the list in a later cue.

A temporary work around is to add a 0% intensity value for the fixture(s) so they have a initialized value and will not jump."

This will be addressed in the upcoming 3.3.1 patch release.
At this time I do not have a release but we are working to get this patch out ASAP.
