Problem:

DMX map is incorrect on version 3.0.13 rev 5782. In the DMX component the number of channels used by each layer is 48 instead of 50.

More info:

When using a lighting desk to control a Hippotizer with version 3.0.13 rev 5782 via DMX, layer control will not work correctly from the lighting desk.

Specifically, layer1 will appear to function as normal but Layer2 and higher channels will not match what is specified in the documentation.

To verify this is the problem you are experiencing, configure the system in 4 or 8 layer mode and then open the DMX component. If the number of channels used by each layer is 48, then you should download the update below.

Patch:

DMX Patch for version 3.0.13

Or you could offset the DMX start address for each layer after Layer One so there is a gap of 2 channels between each layer. Easy to do, in the DMX Component window, double click on the layer you need to adjust the start address for and select "manual", then change the address.
Alternatively, you could get the latest release :)
