What it means is that if you have a 2 colour laser, use the R and G modulation lines, regardless of what the colours are. The same way that if you have a single colour laser, you should connect it to the Red line, regardless of what the colour actually is. So in your case, put the blue on the green line and you're good to go.

Seems like it would have been easier to just give 3 choices (RG - RB - BG) in the software rather than having to rewire things.

Well, that depends. The method I've described is what I understand to be the universally accepted way of connecting up laser modules to the ILDA port when there are less than 3 colours present.
If they deviated from that, people with commercial projectors wired up the usual way suddenly find they don't work 'right'.
It also means that a RG and BR and a GB projector can all coexist on the same ILDA cable run without dropouts.

The manufacturer could well concede that it is not, in fact, the software at fault, but your implementation of the wiring

Oo! The latest version of BEYOND has a whole bunch of cool-sounding networking stuff in it! "Enable beacon"... not sure if it does owt, to be fair, and the only reason I have it is that I complained (rather reasonably) that DMX was broken in the preceding build!

[michelrietveld]

lots of new network related stuff, interesting to see where this leads to.

Can't seem to find this feature in beyond. Is there a way to reverse the short animation sequences within or loaded into Beyond?

[White-Light]

Networking as mentioned by posters above, is yet to come.

I doubt anyone testing Beyond is going to say anything much as what's in the next version is very much a secret until release.

You'll just have to wait!

Can anyone explain a (new?) function in BEYOND?
Right click on a cue and then from the "create" option is "New WriteOut"........
I can't make any sense of it!

Edit.......some half an hour later i am starting to understand it.........................i think....

Can I just take a moment to politely remind everyone that testers shouldn't be talking about new features in the as yet unreleased version 2.0 on the boards. Existing features fine, but new features should be kept to private conversations only. I rather fear Pangolin may stop public testing if this continues.

Excuse me?
WhoTF are you?
I am NOT a tester - i have purchased BEYOND and therefore surely have every right to ask about it?

I have version 1 and it is an existing feature in the version I have - if it were not then it wouldn't be there for me ask the question.
