Native HSI DMX Mapping
Although Cognito’s Natural Language Control has always allowed you to mix colors in
multiple color spaces (CMY, RGB, HSV), it has only been able to drive either RGB or
CMY lights on the DMX wire. Some manufacturers have defined fixture profiles that
expect to see Hue and Saturation in DMX slots. When running these lights on regular
DMX consoles, you can run into some pretty peculiar color fades. For example, say your
first cue is red defined by a hue of 2%, and your next cue is a pink defined with a DMX
value of 80%, when you fade from cue to cue, you will see almost every color in the
rainbow before pink. This is normally quite undesirable. Cognito can now drive these
native HSI lights, but fade from cue to cue in the RGB color space which produces much
more predictable transitions.
List of other changes and fixes
●
The green indicator light beside DMX out ports now shows when DMX is active.
In SETUP|DMX you can turn on or off each DMX port.
●
The (i) Info screen was not showing base value recorded in cues when an
attribute had an effect on it. The value in parentheses shows the recorded level
whereas VALUE shows the output level.
●
Moving a memory from one location to another left a phantom memory label in
Wall Station Mode.
●
Color Mode CCT values were not being Desk Locked.
●
LCD brightness added to SETUP SYSTEM.
●
Slider handles were getting stuck at 16, 32, 64 %.
●
We’ve renamed the Cue Action “Bump Down” to “Bump On” and “Bump Up” to
“Bump Off” to be more clear. The issue was people were confusing pushing a
bump button down (activating a memory) with pushing its slider handle down to
0% (deactivating it).
●
In SELECT|SETTINGS|LIGHT TYPE the Manufacturer column’s sort-order is
now case insensitive.
●
The ABCD icons in CONTROL WHEELS (and other places) that look more like
the wheels’ hardware.
●
We’ve found and fixed a vulnerability that caused some systems to reboot when
left on for extended amounts of time.
●
The Real Time Clock is stored throughout the session to protect against systems
with dead batteries that may reboot without user intervention (power brown outs).
●
Consoles that suffer from power interruptions will now resume active chases if
they were running when the system lost power.
●
We’ve smoothed out DMX resolution when operating the Memory Master fader.
Fades on LED lights that have little to no inertia will appear smoother.
●
Color effects in the pastel range are possible. We fixed a bug where saturation
was always being set to 100%.
●
Fixed issue with selecting a non-contiguous range of Lights and using NEXT or
PREV to round-robin through the selection set.
●
Manufacturer’s list in Settings|Light Type is non-case sensitive alphabetization.
