r/Avolites

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help because this one has got me completely stumped.

I'm running an Avolites Quartz on Titan v16 and I'm having a strange issue with position shapes and Centre Out.

When I select 6 moving heads and apply a position shape (Circle, Pan, etc.) with Centre Out selected, Titan correctly groups the fixtures into pairs from the centre, but the movement still continues left to right across the fixtures rather than mirroring from the centre.

For example, with fixtures:

1 2 3 | 4 5 6

Titan appears to correctly identify the centre pair (3 & 4), then the next pair (2 & 5), then the outer pair (1 & 6), but all fixtures still move in the same direction rather than mirroring from the centre. Effectively I end up with:

↺ ↺ ↺ ↺ ↺ ↺

instead of:

↺ ↺ ↺ | ↻ ↻ ↻

I've spent hours troubleshooting this and have already checked the following:

• Fixture order is correct and has been verified.
• Manual fixture selection order is correct.
• Tried multiple different moving head fixture types and personalities.
• Tried multiple different showfiles.
• Created a completely fresh showfile.
• Performed a full recovery/wipe of the desk.
• Tested Circle shapes, Pan shapes and other position effects.
• Centre Out is definitely selected.

The really strange part is that RGB colour chases and similar effects appear to work correctly with Centre Out. The issue only seems to affect moving head position shapes.

I'm also pretty certain this used to work correctly before, which is why I'm so confused. If this was normal behaviour I don't think I'd have noticed, but I'm convinced it used to mirror properly from the centre.

Has anyone seen this before on Titan v16, or know of a setting, bug, or shape parameter that could cause this behaviour?

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I'm completely out of ideas at this point!

Thanks.
