    Capture 2019
    Showtec Chimp 300 lighting desk
    Phantom 30 LED beam & Phantom 130 spot

    I have created an acurate model of a real world showroom space we have created. After adding the fixtures and orienting them (hopfully corectly) they do not match the real world lighting. Seems like the beams are are 90deg out. As the desk and capture use the same Atlabase database not certain ow this can happen. Checked the pan and tilt inverse on a couple of the fixtures which are OK so at a bit of a loss as to what is happening. ran the real lighting & capture through an ETC and the fixtures do evything correctly except the beam position.

    What am i doing wrong?

    In paper view do the power markers (lightening symbol) match the physical position in the real world?

    Is there any news on this. I have some Acme Energy Spot Pro that is not working. I have found if I rotate the fixture 90 degrees the positions work the same as in real life, but the plot would be incorrect.

    Thanks

    Have you tried using the pan and tilt calibration guide found in the appendix of the manual

    and send the results to library@capture.se?
