    Hello Capture team.

    What is the reason for giving each scene slot 4 DMX steps?

    Because of this we can only have 64 numbers for scene slots.

    Agreed that we rarely have more than 64 scene changes, but i need higher numbers to better organice my scenes.

    e.g. scene change in part 1 = 10. Two scene changes in part 7 =70 + 71

    Best regards, Alexander

    Hi,

    The reason is we thought 64 would be more than enough. We have started seeing more designs that have a "large number" of scenes and will quite possibly have to take a closer look at how to deal with this! How many scenes would you need?

    Hey Lars.
    Because it is controlled via DMX values I would go for 256 slots.
    This is the way media servers organize their media librarys.
    For me this would be most logical way to do it.

    It is not that I want to have 256 scene changes in one play but a mean to organize/name my scene changes in a way that follows the numbering of acts / scenes in the performance.

    I am sorry that I can not give you a number of scenes I actual would need, because I can not predigt what the needs of future projekts will be. ;-)

    Best regards,

    Alexander
