Pandoras Box User Forum

Hello Coolux Wizards
I have a interesting problem with my setup
I have a server which runs PB Player Pro Rev. 10386 connected thru a gigabit network switch to a GrandMA 2 Light which is running V3.0.0.5
The PB Player is controlled/programmed by MA2-net on dmx universe 10 (0:9) and running 4 layers of video to a single output with a pixelmapper, which sends artnet (2 universes; universe 4 and 6 (0:3 and 0:5) back to the console, which is all working fine. The PB Player Pro is running in Console mode and only the videolayers are controlled by the GrandMA2
The fixture profile used on the GrandMA2 is the one called: Pandoras Box MediaPlayer Pro (v5 Video Layer Lighting) from the internal fixture library

Now my issue: if I control the Zoom X or Y attribute on the GrandMA2 I would expect the XScale or YScale to be changing, which is happening but the content is MOVING on the X/Y axis, and is not scaling.
I would expect the content to zoom in or out when changing the attribute. If I disable the MA-Net input, Reset the attributes in PB Player and modify the XScale/YScale attributes manually, the content is scaling up/down in the correct direction, so than it works as expected but cannot be controlled in a proper way by the console

Is there anyone on the forum who has experience with this behaviour and could explain why this is happening?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

Is the XScale and YScale is change in the GUI of Pandoras Box?
What is the attribute of ScalePivot X-Pos, Y-Pos in the GUI?
Maybe this two are to low/high and not on the center of the content.

Hi Benni,
You are correct
I wasn't aware of the pivot function in PB, it was indeed at a high value by default in the fixture profile in the GrandMA2

Thanks for your clarifying answer!!

Hey,

using the GrandMA2: Download the fixtures from our webpage. You can find them in the Support -> Download Section.
