CITP synchronizes

Release Notes for Onyx
(C) 2018-2020 - Obsidian Control Systems
4.5.1194 (02/06/2020)
=====================
Added Capture (CITP) integration (patch, selection, parameter sync)
Added import of patch (exported from another Onyx show file)
Added sACN priority configuration
Fixed network handling in ConsoleTester
So currently tried to import an exported patch from a previous ONYX show into a completely new show! on these 2 shows there is no patch conflict cause both use different universes. On the imported one I had universes 1 to 4 occupied by fixtures, on the the show present and opend I had the my fixtures patched on universe 5 to 8.
Even if I try what happens is that onyx pop up says âconflict unpatchâ I think that in this case Onyx should give us the chance to import it anyway. first cause in reality there is no conflict in the real patch! so I suppose we need somekind of Merge!
I found something that doesnât work well, when you select from capture are ok, but when you deselect since capture onyx dont deselect the fixture, and when you select other fixture since capture, is selected, and also those that I had previously selected that I deselect but onyx did not deselect
Hi to all there is an issue here when using ONYX towards to CAPTURE, it seems that there is some type of conflict or better seems that name is causing an issue in Capture not finding the correct fixture!
look at my pictures,here i am importing the fixtures from ONYX into Capture 2020, all patch is created from the scratch ,but how you can see clearly these two dimmer channels seem not to be recognized by capture!
Little question so if Onyx has to be bidirectional with Capture,that this chance is incredible! then why if I select fixtures from onyx ,i cant deselect them from capture? cause if you look at the pictures it is still select in Onyx.
Cause if I can work from onyx and Capture toghether I can have more flexability in this way !
THANX
Hi to all so here it is!
I have an old show in Capture that was already patched in Onyx,but I need to understand something really important for future use!
I certainly understand itâs the first beta so maybe there are a lot of little issues,does the new CITP feature work with old shows? cause it seems it doesnât!
So it seems that something is missing ,what happens is I canât create positions by selecting fixtures in capture? so if I try to point somwhere nothing happens! but repeat it was and old show created in Onyx and in Capture all is working but seems that new features arenât working "select fixtures and point a position,colours beams and frames nothing!
P/T inversion and swap issues have been identified and fixed, those will be included in the next build.
Fixture selection issues have also been identified and weâre wrapping up the fixes, also for the next build.
Regarding import: it is not impossible to import a patch into an existing show, but for now we donât provide any conflict handling support, so itâs up to the user to remedy. Confusion may arise about what is reported as being the cause for the conflict: donât just check the (DMX) addressing, but also the fixture numberingâŚ
Weâre looking at some of the Capture popups reported in the various threads.
Regarding the conflict handling, we anticipate a redesign as part of the upcoming multi programmer/user effort, so we rather leave it as it is for now (giving us a chance to pick up feedback and suggestions as well, maybe even through one or more release cycles; the opportunity to do the import itself simply popped up now and we didnât want to keep from you what we have so far). Thanks for understanding the choices that may seem strange (from outside the trenches) at times
Loving the dev team for implementing things on an ongoing basis and letting us test it out for you.
Just a quick suggestion for a future build, The ability to have custom pixel amounts in regards to âGeneric - RGB Pixelâ as currently we cannot make these profiles ourselves as it is considered a multipart fixture, and with the development of DyLOS more and more shows are going to require different lengths of led tape for example so being able to set a number of pixels easily would be great.
NOW that we have a powerful option like" CITP" in Onyx ,you should give us the chance to create a palette with one fixture but valid for all of same type! this is fantastic option with CITP .
Cause with only 1 fixture selected we can create( colour,blades,iris,focus,zoom ,pan tilt) and this will only take a few seconds to create them for all of the same type via Capture!
maybe also the groups coud be imported by Capture via CITP!
Thanx
This is what happens when I try to import a new ONYX" patch file" in an old show where the show is like this; ID s of fixtures are completely different.
Universe patching is completely different.
So why isnât this possible and why this POPUP message?
In other things, Can you explain us how work the connection ? Because I tested with artnet Off and sACN off and the connection work I assume that the transmission Is via CITP ( CITP/SDMX or CAEX ?? ) and capture detect 255 universes, if that is correct, have considered the possibility to add Blind Dmx, and other features ?
And the import Patch is a very nice feature thanks for that, the only thing, is the possibility to add the RDM Import and maybe in the future read the patch directly from the show file
About the â2D Planâ would It Be possibile in some way ,to now use the Plan even if itâs only a 2d top section as, all selected fixtures go to this point?
Also when importing the patch from Capture we also have all xyz positions of the fixtures in a 3d space,but even if we donât have that type of space,can we use this feature somehow to import It as a perfect 2D PLAN?
Hi there, I just loaded the new beta 1194.
Everything went smooth but the issue I have is I have groups of fixtures in my rig that share the same DMX address. When importing capture with CITPm the DMX addresses are messed up. I built another basic rig where all DMX addresses are independant of each other and that imported perfectly. Seems I canât import different fixtures sharing the same DMX values? Anyone else getting this issue?
Hello, communication is CITP, indeed, so should work with other Visualizers that support CITP as well, although it takes verification per package because some variations are possible.
Currently, the software doesnât support fixtures sharing DMX addresses, indeed.
Other suggestions noted, thanks.
It is not part of the changelog, but Iâm facing an issue with the encoder belt display for the following fixture: American DJ - Focus Beam LED (in 16 or 18ch, same issue).
When going into the beam parameter, the second belt is for the frost.
There are conditions on this fixture while the frost is inserted the prism canât be inserted.
But, as a result, without frost, the prism command (belt 3 and 4) are always display with the frost condition active.
This profile (from official library) has been tested by @Ofer_Brum and he doesnât have this issue.
