    I have an MCS Spectrum and a 3400 panel running with the Eclipse software. It’s a little buggy in Resolve but I’ve been able to get most everything working, except one thing I’ve never been able to figure out was getting the lights to work in the trackballs. If I run the Eclipse software from Applications the balls light up (with any of the three colors available), but once I bring up Resolve, they’re gone. Is anyone here familiar with the JL Cooper panels and have you found the same issue? I know it’s not a huge deal but I’d like to solve it if possible. Thanks!

    I’m using Resolve 9.1.1
    Early 2009 8 core 2.26 Mac
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680
    Decklink HD Extreme 3D+
    OSX 10.8.5

    I’m also having this same issue with my Eclipse CX. Running v3.1. Balls flash blue during startup, but are not lit in Resolve or in the Eclipse software. Colors seem to be set correctly in the inspector. Did anyone get theirs working?
