CueCore, QuadCore, IoCore, TimeCore, B-Station & RdmNode / Re: clear from showcontrol

« Last post by Jorge Solano on Today at 17:25:07 »

Hey Auguste,

What you are seeing is caused by HTP merging. The colour from Kiosc and the colour from the playback are treated as separate sources, and the highest DMX value wins on each RGB channel. This is why a playback below 100% can mix with the previously selected colour.

“Clear” does not necessarily mean blackout. It releases values from a specific control layer, but another source can still remain active or send the colour again.

For static office scenes, I would recommend controlling the colour and intensity directly with Fixture tasks in Show Control instead of combining the Kiosc colour picker with playbacks. Alternatively, keep the playback at 100% and store the required brightness using the fixture’s intensity channel inside the cue.

A quick test is to select red in Kiosc and run a blue playback at 100%. Then lower the playback intensity. If the red starts mixing in again, this confirms the HTP behaviour.

Hope this helps!

Hello,
Thank you for your response.
I did try the DMX -> clear in ShowControl, but it seems I can't make it work.
I also tried Fixtures -> clear, and same thing.

If there is a color picked from a color picker (on kiosc for example) or from the playbacks page, and I play a playback, if the playback is not on 100% intensity, it will merge the color.
If I release the playback the lights will take a color picked from somewhere. It is like the default of the lights is not 000000 but a color from somewhere ?

Maybe I did not understand what the clear function is really doing ?
From my understanding, it clear the DMX output so it should 'turn off' the fixtures ?

NB : Im using your system for an office that has special needs in terms of lights.
And im not a light technician, so I may not have some basic understanding of this world...

CueCore, QuadCore, IoCore, TimeCore, B-Station & RdmNode / Re: Recording Artnet signal via ethernet on Quadcore

« Last post by Jorge Solano on Today at 11:28:55 »

Hello Mike,

Yes, this is possible 

The QuadCore can record all four Art-Net universes simultaneously into one Track.

First, go to:

 **Settings → Art-Net → Input**

and make sure universes A–D match the four universes sent by your software.

Please note that **Art-Net numbering is zero-based**. This means the first four universes may need to be configured as **0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3**, even if your software displays them as universes 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The grey RX indicators are status indicators, not buttons. They will activate automatically once the QuadCore receives valid Art-Net data. The **Capture Art-Net** button is part of the Intensity Map and is not used for recording a Track.

Once **Receiving Art-Net** shows “Yes”, select an empty Track, erase it, set **Mode to Manual** and **Source to Art-Net**, then use Record and Stop. Keep in mind that four universes of pixel data can use the available Track memory very quickly.

Hope this helps!

Hello Auguste,

First of all thank you for using our products 

Yes, this is possible. In the Show Control action that starts the playback, add a

**DMX → Clear → All** task

before the **Playback → Jump** task.

Add one Clear task for each fixture controlled by the Kiosc colour picker. This removes the direct fixture values, allowing the recorded playback colour to take over.

Hope this helps!

CueCore, QuadCore, IoCore, TimeCore, B-Station & RdmNode / Recording Artnet signal via ethernet on Quadcore

« Last post by Yoshi on 2026 July 19, 09:06:51 »

Hi,

I am not sure if what I am trying to do is possible. I was having issues trying to create a smooth visual chase/transition using cueluxpro, so I started working with another software.

I was able to get that software to communicate directly with the 2 SpiNodes, and watch the scene. Now I wanted to try and record that scene to the Quadcore.

I had initially hoped that I could just go into the "Track" Tab of the quadcore menu, and click on record, however nothing was captured.

I then reconfigured the other software to direct it to send the signal to the static ip of the Quadcore device, rather than the 2 SpiNodes. That also did not work.

I noticed a couple of things:

In the 2 attached images, in the bottom right corners,
Receiving Artnet - No

And

Capture Artnet - is greyed out.

I am not sure how to turn those on?

Is there any other tips I need to know on what I am trying to do? The scene I have created uses 4 universes. Can they all be recorded at once via ethernet?

Thanks for any help!

Mike

CueCore, QuadCore, IoCore, TimeCore, B-Station & RdmNode / clear from showcontrol

« Last post by auguste on 2026 July 17, 18:07:10 »

Hello,
I am currently building a system using a B-station2, cuecore3 and some fixtures.
I would like to know if there is a way to clear the DMX output (like the clear button in the playback page basically) from the showcontrol page.
If I use kiosc and i colorpick from a wheel, for example, if I want to play a playback, all the lights will keep the color I picked and not switch to the color I choose for the playback.
Is there a way I did not think of?
Thanks in advance !

If you need a to create a fixture file to use with Cuety and a LPU-1 or LPu-2 you can use our new application "Cuety Editor"
Designed to make the creation  process easier than using vBuilder  you can directly use it from your web browser.

CueCore, QuadCore, IoCore, TimeCore, B-Station & RdmNode / Re: Controlling an LED strip type ws2812 using show control

« Last post by Jorge Solano on 2026 July 14, 11:38:27 »

Hello Jim,

Good to hear you've made some progress 

The fact that "logoblue=#0000FF" reliably triggers the action tells us the TCP side is working correctly. This now looks like a colour order mismatch rather than a communication issue.

Since you're using WS2812 pixels, I'd recommend checking two things:

* If possible, use "Block RGB" rather than *"Block RGBW", as WS2812 is a 3-channel RGB pixel.
* Try sending these three commands and note the colour you actually see:

  logoblue=#FF0000
  logoblue=#00FF00
  logoblue=#0000FF

Could you also have a look at the IoCore2 DMX Monitor while sending "logoblue=#0000FF" and check channels "103, 104 and 105"?

For a normal RGB mapping, I'd expect:

* Ch. 103 = 0
* Ch. 104 = 0
* Ch. 105 = 255

If that's what the DMX Monitor shows, then the IoCore2 is generating the correct DMX and the colour swap is most likely happening in the SPI decoder or the LED strip itself (many WS2812 strips actually use **GRB** colour order instead of RGB).

Let me know the results of those tests and we'll narrow it down from there.

Hope this helps!

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for the advise, and apologies for the delay in responding. Our IoCore unfortunately had to go away for repair, but its now back and I'm still working on this project.

Your guidance moved me further along, but its not quite right still!

I have the command setup in the IoCore TCP Actions.

Logo Blue, triggers a DMX Block RGBW command, for Address 103, footprint 3 fixture count 69.
When I execute this from the ioCore webpage it lights up our LED Logo in blue perfectly every time.
The trigger message is logoblue

My control system sends the ascii string logoblue=#0000FF and reliably turns on the logo, but in Green!

Any idea why this might be?

MAny thanks,

Hello Piantons

I have created personality files for both Cuety and Cuelux, as you did not specify which software you are using.

The files are included in the attached ZIP. Please unzip it first. For Cuety, use the “user.personality” file; for Cuelux, use the XML personality file.

Installation instructions:

Hope this helps!
