My school just picked up an I-Cue today for a show that's opening Friday night, but I can't get it to work quite yet. I plugged it into our board and set it up this evening, but I can't control pan and tilt (except for manual control on the unit). Here's the situation:
- It seems that the rental house only included one 4-pin DMX cable, so I have a power-supply-to-unit cable but not a return.
- We're running the line over 3-pin DMX with a 3-to-5-pin adaptor at the end; I used a mix cable instead of our homerun for setup because I didn't feel like hauling the I-Cue, S4, and lighting tree backstage.
- We have no terminator on this run, and the setup for the show will be using two hundred feet of cable. Is a terminator absolutely necessary?
- The board is an Innovator 24/48, and I put the mirror on DMX channel 15, with 15 controlling pan and 16 controlling tilt. Couldn't get any mirror control from the board. (Fun fact: the board changed my submasters while I was trying to configure the I-Cue. <_< )
