ONYX Beta 1206

ONYX Onyx Betatest
1

Please recheck all libraries well in advance before using any 4.5 version on a show. The changes are substantial and some libraries will have bugs or cause delays or hangups in ONYX.
During the beta phase the user can not assume that the library is available or fully functional, it needs to be verified. We appreciate everyone’s help to find bugs andreport any fixture profiles issues.

Report all library issues to
Fixture Library (4.6 Preview)

This version fixes some reported bugs Also the Generic Fixture Libraries are re-added and sorted into multiple categories. Some minor cleanup items remain for the Generics.

Can you check Please:
Proteus Hybrid Basic .
Rayzor 760 Primary .
I have imported a show from Capture to an Onyx new show and these fixtures seem not to work I am not able to see intensity ,maybe little library issues, I am using Capture 2021.
THANX = )

sometimes this error pops up:
image

tried to find out what exactly triggers it but so far no idea. Onyx didn’t crash, just pressing “weiter” makes it go away

Showfile is the one from the Dylos Webinar

4

hello, how could you use a software which would release in next march? our informations from capture website says that we have to wait till march! have we lost something?

thx.

r.h.

5

hello, we have to ask another time.
should cameo pixbar 600 pro work with dylos?
or should we have to go for chamsys for this fixtures?
our costumer want pixel on his 34 devices!
so please, we want give onyx a try in this competition , but we spend now more than a week with this, and the research budget is nearly gone.
or, can you tell us another fixture with master intensity, which we can compare?
so we just want to know if there are combined fixture with master intensity, we can try, and show our costumer that it is a problem with this particular device.

thx.

r.h.

6

…every generic pix bar/ led batten without dimmer works in capture, for us.
so is there anybody out there who is checked out how do multipart fixtures with dimmer work with dylos?

thx.

r.h.

7

just tried with Chauvet ColorRail IRC in 26 channel mode and it works in real life I do not have capture so can not test virtually

what you need to do is bring up the master intensity of the fixtures then bring up the intensity of the Dylos zone

8

Ok little enhancement if possible can you add scroll bars when windows are a bit reduced so we don’t need to enlarge but only drag?
Thanx = )

hello, thank you, indeed the chauvet colorail irc is working as we think it have to be. in capture we can see the moving pixels from dylos when the zone is on 100 and the intensity of the fixture is 100. but in all other fixtures we testet, we can only see full intensity goes over the dylos info and the animation is overlayed from the full intensity.
please dear developer and marketing people, what is the magic on the chauvet fixtures?

thx.

r.h.

10

???

thx.

r.h.

11

…uploaded a zip with showfile and capture file…
to the upload link…

12

So you only look at capture and don’t have the actual fixture?

13

How can I install the beta on an M1HD? Is there an OS install for the beta? I tried using the console update under tools (currently on 4.4.1193) to try to install it, the console loaded the file from the USB drive and rebooted but it remains on 4.4.x

Thanks

14

hello. we have 34 of the cameos in store at the moment, and tested maybe 10 of them physically.
we have tested the chauvet only on capture.

thx.

r.h.

15

…but “matt” wrote he has tested the chauvets in real life, the physical output of the pixbar 600 pro match 100% in capture and on our stage.

r.h.

16

we testet also the elation 7batten, david used in the webinar capture file, they behave exactly like the cameo, nothing till rise the master intensity, and only a bit of motion under the full brightness if on 100%.

thx.

r.h.

Looking at your video the reason you see this result its that the fixture is RGB + White + Amber.
Dylos only affects RGB, never white or amber. Dial AW down to 0% so the RGB effects work. White and Amber are 100% by default, so the Dylos effects on RGB don’t really show.

The Chauvet fixture is RGB only, so Dylos will set it to a 0% output during blacks.

if you prefer you can set the default values for RGBAW to all 0% Default Preset (obsidiancontrol.com)

I actually don’t see anything “wrong” it all works as designed. Any channels outside RGB have to be set to 0% by the user to allow DYLOS to work properly.

18

thank you very much, works in capture.
we hope and will see tomorrow if also in real live, if so you rescue our ass .
r.h.

19

but, we have the next BIG problem in our friendship with onyx.
have you any reports about problems with amd graphic hardware?
we see different results in dylos, with different graphic cards!!
on nvidia gtx 1080, 1060 all ok,
on amd vega hyprid in a nuc hades, there are some glitches in view of dylos zone, other windows windows, e.g. desktopview with all folders,
and there is no fixture respond on dylos 2d plan.
so we know not everything about dylos yet, but we see that there is a different behavior on different hardware,
BUT not allways.
we try tomorrow again,
please let us know if there similar problems reported.

thx.

r.h.

This isnt AMD specific but a missing DirectX install.

Uninstall ONYX, reboot.
Install Direct X package https://files.obsidiancontrol.com/s/ZedAjLKT7ddFFMA
Reinstall ONYX
