Strobe Rate Uniformity

Don't know if this one has been mentioned already or not. It would be really helpful if when you selected multiple fixture types and then selected a strobe rate, if the strobe rates matched across the rig. I know this could get complicated with 3rd party fixtures, but please at least calibrate HES fixtures. It's puzzling when you grab an X.Spot and a Studio Command and tell them both to strobe at x hz and the X.Spot is going twice as fast as the Studio Command. I am assuming that this probably is also the case for parameters like rotating gobos. Same RPMs = different rotation on each fixture.

I know that different fixtures interpret different parameters/values differently, so I know such calibrations are easier said than done. However we have heard from several users that other consoles apparently have solved this problem, so it would seem a fix is possible. It seems like an important issue to many cross-platform users.

Thanks for your efforts.
