Hello all! So we have been having a problem the last couple days with some equipment that another department has brought in for a dance show. It is intermittent and different things seem to fix it but one fix one night will not work another. What is happening is that They have some LEDs, Dimmer Packs, and Color Scrollers on stage for booms. They are hooked into 2 of my Pathway Pathport nodes (SL, SR). But everyone once and awhile they will start dropping signal. I'll have them at full or any level and they will just drop to zero. It is a constant flash at aroundd 1Hz. We unplugged that rig and tested the DMX signal out of the node and sure enough on certain addresses it was dropping single. Now when viewing the sACN on the network we aren't seeing any drops. All the DMX runs are terminated. RDM is disabled. The problem manifests at random times with random addresses. and the fixes seem random (sometimes a console reboot fixed it, sometime changing the DMX speed in the node fixed it, rebooting the network switch etch. but one fix does not always fix it.)
The interesting thing is that my Seachangers in my existing FOH are not exhibiting these problems.
NOTE: Just now we ran a show baby to the SL side with an D-split optosplitter and the issue stopped. But again it seems we solve this DMX ghost with a different solution every ime.
