A little more testing shows that large image files are most likely to cause this result. Is there a maximum recommended size of image to be used in Arena? Generally I'm finding that images up to around 3000x3000 have no problem, images larger than that are more likely to crash Arena the larger the f...

Hi folks, Using 4.1.11 on a MBP 15" Retina, I find the following error: 1. Open Arena with new show file. 2. Drag in 10-12 PNGs. If I drag in more than 5-10 at once, Arena crashes. 3. Drag in 5 PNGs at a time, most run fine. 4. A small percentage of the PNGs produce the error shown in the attac...

Looking at two different refurb 15" MBPs as a backup Arena machine. Would appreciate any advice on which graphics card will keep Arena humming along happier. Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M or NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory I'm somewhat familiar with the way Reso...

Hi guys, I just spent half an hour trying to figure out how to get my MIDI controller to trigger an individual clip in Piano Mode, when the options for trigger mode were not appearing in the MIDI Map panel. Eventually I discovered that the trigger mode options only appear when mapping a numerical va...

Are you by any chance using Chamsys as your DMX source? I believe the "home" value in the Chamsys profile for Arena is off by 1 DMX value (as it starts counting from 1 instead of 0 as Joris suggests), which equates to an offset of 0.71 degrees (1/128). Editing the fixture profile *should* ...

What are you trying to achieve?

If the goal is to get a DMX signal into your Resolume machine, it'll probably be much simpler to use Artnet...

Lots to be learned from the gigs that crash and burn, usually more so than from the gigs that go well.

Nice to see you've located the problem - always a risk involved in doing anything on the day of a gig that you haven't thoroughly stress tested beforehand...

Quartz should work, you can simply create a bunch of published inputs of text fields which will let you input the text live within Resolume.

Arena will take an Artnet signal happily, and fixture profiles for Arena are available on MA-share.net.

A quick Google search for "output artnet grandma" will give you a variety of guides to configuring Artnet on the MA, pick the one that you find easiest to understand!

We recently had the opportunity to take Arena on television - it's been driving the Versatubes for our fall tour with Tegan and Sara, and week before last that included an appearance on Conan . As in the photo, Arena is controlled over Artnet by the Chamsys MQ100 we use for the tour lighting rig, th...
