    Hi Folks

    ok im new to capture on my second project.

    I have a design that uses coda 4 cell units and iris 4 units both have 4 cells that can be colored and controlled independently.

    I have set the units to the dmx mode that allows four channels but how do i give each cell a individual colour.

    When i put multi colours into the units its like they all go in each frame so i will get a red a blue a orange and a mauve all in one frame. and this is not what im after.

    I need each color in its own cell of the unit. I'm sure i am missing something as multi cell units are very common.

    Please advise how get this to work.

    Hi Dave,

    For Coda-4s, I just take four Coda-1s, put them right next to each other and make sure they are lined up. Then simply group them and you can tilt and drag them around as if they are a single unit. If you want more than one unit, you can clone the first. Even when grouped, you should still be able to drag a filter on to an individual Coda and you can always ctrl-click on a single unit within the group to adjust its properties and patch it.

    The slight downside is that your fixture paperwork will be listing the wrong type of Coda. However, your list of filters required will be correct.

    Hope this helps.

    Robert
