    Hi there, iv been having problems with the last three show iv done on capture with moving light fixtures. it only seems to be one out of how many we have in the grid but the problem is that you can focus the moving light into positions on the stage layout you have designed etc and its all fine on the capture software when youv programmed it take it to the venue and one of the moving light is in the completely wrong position you saved it or it seems to be copying on of the other moving lights you have programmed, it seems to be happening more and more frequent and its getting quite annoying. when you look at the fixture on capture all the moving lights is positioned so there facing the right way an everything so its not that any ideas?

    Impossible to diagnose the problem from the information provided but as you say everything behaves as expected in Capture then the problem must be with the actual setup in your venue surely? Could be any number of things between your console and the fixtures...

    Is it always the same fixture which points in the wrong direction?

    If one fixture appears to be doing the same as another, then check they are not at the same address.

    Are you really sure all the fixtures are hanging facing the same way? Are you sure none of them have pan or tilt inverted on the fixture itself... ie do you need to invert pan or tilt, swap pan/tilt on the desk.

    Of course it could be something as simple as a faulty fixture, not calibrating pan or tilt properly

    Disregarding anything you have programmed using Capture, do all fixtures behave as expected when you simply locate and move them around?
