[quote="Bill D"][quote="Ed Collins"]I?d be real curious to see what issues there are with P-bus in v14. I used v14 during the entire College Hoops season with CBS ? including the Final 4 - and I did not have any P-bus issues. I also did quite a bit of testing in the labs for Grass and found it to be very stable. Bill Lance also re-wrote his software to accommodate v14 and now we can access all 300 registers on the Lance via the Kalypso. V14 also allows for multiple P-bus recalls within the same timeline. .[/quote] So does this mean the lance has to be upgraded as well? I am assuming so.[/quote] The Lance only has to be upgraded if you want to access registers above 99 via e-mem.

[quote="5mars"]Thank you Ed, that is good help. One question, though: since there are now two ways of learning-recalling registers (EMEMs or keyframes), should'nt those buttons be toggling between each other? JP[/quote] That's not a bad idea, but the logic here is that both ways are easily seen by the operator at the same time. Hopefully that is a bit more intuitive while you're learning the new functionality.

Bill Lance provides a free upgrade provided that you have a registered S/N from his product and give him a FedEx/UPS account number to ship out the E-Proms for the upgrade. Tough part is just pulling out the 1RU frame and replacing the chips. There is nothing to it. Travis Swenson

[quote="Dan Berger"][quote="Bill D"]So does this mean the lance has to be upgraded as well? I am assuming so.[/quote] From my understanding, the Lance does NOT need to be upgraded. You DO have to upgrade it in order to access any Lance Reg above #99. You can still access #00 - #99 in the way described. I could be wrong, but that's what I've heard. --- Dan[/quote] I should have done this sooner but there is a new update on the lance website, which allows you to access all 300 clips through P-bus amongst some other changes. Also free.. So hopefully any truck that has a lance and goes to V 14 upgrades their lance as well.

Maybe the ?issues? are with learning the new software. Believe me, I know how tough it is to come in on a single set/shoot day and have to learn new software. In v14 you can operate the ?old? way by selecting Register-based Learn/Recall. The new way is Keyframe-based Learn/Recall. The big thing to remember is that (when using the new Keyframe based Learn/Recall) the Lance still needs to be on a one-to-one relationship with registers. So P-bus register 20 on the Kalypso always recalls register 20 on the Lance. Now the Kalypso can store P-bus register 20 in say, e-mem 01. Each keyframe can recall a different p-bus register. The Kalypso has 4096 P-bus registers, but the Lance can only use registers 0-299. So if you want your e-mem to recall register/cue #30 on the Lance then just enter a 30 in the P-bus register box, enable the Recall at KF button and learn your e-mem. Remember to turn off the recall at KF or the Kalypso will try to recall the Lance register/cue on every keyframe that this is enabled on. It?s just like the triggers where you can?t have, say, a re-cue on every keyframe or the Lance will constantly recue. Hopefully this helps.
