Shutting off at the exact same time, suggests it's not something broken in the
fixture. Running them on separate circuits and shutting off at the same time suggests it's not the dimmed
power. Different show babys says it's likely not the receivers or cabling.
So tests I would do:
So my suspicions are:
1) a "brown out" where you are briefly drawing too much
power and this is causing the fixtures to shut down improperly requiring a reboot.
@Ford @Ben Dickmann What do you think about this idea?
2) A weird glitch in the wireless transmission. Something is interfering with and scrambling the signal a
bit causing the fixtures to glitch. Do you have other movers in your
system? Are they on the wireless
DMX?
3) Something weird in the board or a
cue is glitching and sending the signal that is shutting them down.
Things I would try:
-Run the show file fairly quickly over and over. Can you trigger the crash? is there a consistent trigger
point?
-Is there something in the
box office, concession stand, green room that is running during a show but not during rehearsal that could create some sort of wireless interference or burn a lot of
power. Turn on EVERYTHING normally on in a show condition.
-Create a
cue where every
dimmer in the rig instantly goes to 100% to see if you can cause it by a "brown out".
-Is there some way that an audience full of wifi/cellular devices could be interfering with the wireless
DMX?
-Can you think of any other effects of a
house full of people would have?
@Pie4Weebl Victor do I remember you having R3's? Have you run into anything like this?
