Yes. What console are you using?
Bear in mind that you can record 24 channels down to your scenes, record in wide mode then playback in scene/channel mode.
If I understand your post correctly you have programmed the scene faders and when you bring up one of the 13 to 24 faders you see the correct LEDS light up - so if Scene Fader 13 is programmed to control channels 1, 3 and 6 all three of these channel LEDs turn on when fader 13 is at 100%. You are using the DP415 dimmer boxes which use the DIP Switches to set the DMX address. You are seeing the DMX LED flashing but the channels do not turn on.
If this is what is happening I generally check the following assuming the yellow LED is on showing that the control board is powered:
1) make sure the DMX address is correctly set very easy to set the wrong address. When you bring up the slider you should also see the channel LEDs on the DP415 packs turn on as well - you post is saying no. If the LEDS turn on correctly on the board and not the pack and the DMX LED is flashing it is most likely a DMX address issue on the pack. If the DMX LED is flashing the board is receiving DMX it does not mean it is correctly addressed.

The symptoms you describe of ït suddenly stopped working" would make me check there is not a cable fault, have you tried wiggling the cable to see what happens?
I will get one and add it to our equipment.church;152894 3) Have you checked the fuses? Use a [autolink said:meter[/autolink] do not just check visually.
See opto-splitter. In this application, a DMX line would need to be run to each dimmer pack, eliminating the benefit of being able to daisy chain the packs....Didn't I read somewhere there is a box (not just DMX termination that stops the echo) that will stop one dimmer with a fault from bringing down the rest of the system?
Thanks for the update! Glad to see your Isolator is still working great. I'm about to go pick one up for myself as my spare Doug Fleenor just died. I love how the Data Stream 4 is rack mountable. Looks like a solid product and for that price, I just can't pass it up.Update
It has been two years since we got ours and our system has not had a failure. Good product.
