Hi Nick,

We have just made a change to the Showtec Sunstrip, so it should be a bit better now! (Make sure you're using Capture 2.4 also).

Performance has increased, but not in a manner that I can say is workable. Same goes for using octostrips or 2/4-blinders. For running on a powerful card like a GTX260 8 sunstrips and 12 moving heads should not really be a problem in my opinion. It's a bit laggy when you just run FX on the strips, but full blind is just totally lagged and unresponsive, even when you use only one strip. This really is something that needs major tweaking

I am by the way running on the Velleman sunstrips, don't know if that makes a difference vs the showtecs?

Hi desolation,

I don't believe we have Velleman Sunstrips in the library?

Have you upgraded to Capture 2.4? If so and the problems persist, could you please e-mail me your showfile to lars@cap.. ?

Lars, It's the VDP7510S2 fixture You should have received my show file in the meantime.

Dear desolation,

I have indeed received and reviewed your showfile. I could not find anything problematic with it, which leads to the only conclusion that there is some performance problem with your computer, or something else causing it to run slow. Let's tackle this via e-mail as I believe this is not a general issue.

I don't have any problems if I use the Showtec Active Sunstrips, so if you could make the same adjustmenst in visualisation for the Vellemans as you did for the Showtecs I recon the performance drops would be completely cleared. Simulation of the light itself is of course not the same, but I prefer good performance :)
I currently reworked my show file with the showtecs, but their dimensions and weight is not the same as the Velleman/HQ Power's so it would be awesome if these could be adjusted for the next version of capture as well :)

Hi desolation,

We're planning to add the feature you're requesting to the next version 2.5!
