DMX MOVING HEAD HOLD POSITION
« on: September 23, 2017, 12:56:47 AM »
Afternoon all.

I have a number of moving heads in my show this year. when the DMX effect is finished the head reverts back to the start position. Is there way that the light can hold the position, colour, brightness etc until the next effect is added?

Kind regards

James

Add another DMX effect to hold it.

I answer this all the time.  Keith gave the short answer for how you fix it.  I wanted to have a feature that allowed a model to hold its last value but never figured out how to fit that into the design.  So unless you want zeroes being sent to the device you need to have an effect on the grid and make it do what you need.
