Hi guys.
I use DMX frames and normal frames in Showtime Intro 4,10.
Non-DMX frames in the timeline set the value of DMX channel 1 to 255.
In other words: A normal frame destroys the DMX channel 1.
Only channel 1 is affected. But this channel is very important for us.
Regardless which effect is assigned to the frame. I tried different
settings concerning the Zone shutter output in the projector zone.
And it doesn't matter on which track the frame resides and if it's
overlapping with a previous DMX frame or not. I'm not able to change
the channel map in our hardware installation. I cannot find any
appropiate settings to disable DMX output for "normal" frames.
Thanking you in advance,
Joerg
 
This is very annoying.
For example you cannot perform a transition between
the bank and scanner and vice versa.
 
Hmmm. Very strange (maybe).

Please check one thing. In LD2000 or Showtime, go to the Settings menu, and then "DMX Settings", then select the far-right tab. Take a VERY close look at these settings. If you have your graphics shutter assigned to output on DMX Channel 1, then there's your problem. If this is the case then the software is doing precisely what you told it to do, nothing more and nothing less (personally, I like software to work like that).

If this is not the case, then would you please send me an example frame file and show file, and also your LD2000.INI file so I can take a look at this?

I never like to give out my real email address here for spam reasons, but if you don't have it already, please contact me through the normal Contact form, and I will reply with my email address.
