I want to thank everyone for their responses.We finally solved this beast of a problem today. We switched the DLED PARs to 4 channel mode instead of 5 so that the board could control the intensity.I think that made a difference but what really solved the issue was changing the way the...

The NET3 box running U/1 and U/2 is from the rental house and was not a new box from ETC. I will let you know when I have access to the board. I will do that first thing tomorrow. We are running them in 5 channel mode. We created the profile for the fixture and are working on a...

there is no difference between the universes in terms of reaction.we've tried, fast, slow and medium neither of which have made a difference.version on EOS: 1.9.6.9.0.3version on the gateways:NET3 U/3-6: 3.1.0.9.0.4 NET3 U/1 + 2: 2.0.2.0.9.0.1.4RDM: disabledthanks kirk. m

Update: We slowed the DMX rate and it actually made the problem worse.Great idea!sadly not our problem I guess. m

We are using the NET3 gateways on their default setting. They were a direct ship/new purchase from ETC to the theatre.If I remember correctly they are in ACM/NET3 mode. I have Universe 4 in the first two ports of the GW and Universe 6 in the second two ports of the gateway.I will...

Update: We are changing the profile on the DLED PARsI am having the designer contact the previous electrician to see if they have any insight.Again, thanks for sticking with me guys!margaret

We are working on slowing the dmx setting right now. I was talking to the designer and he was saying that the last time he used these fixtures there was a wall of almost 500 of them. He was running them off an EOS in the same kind of scenario and had none of these problems.thanks again for...

Unfortunately we are renting from a company in new york who is cutting us a huge deal in exchange for right of first refusal when the show goes to broadway.So.. We are unsupported by the rental house. I am emailing them now though. Thanks for your thoughts!Also, we went into the menu and...

So far its only the Elations that are malfunctioning. Tonight was the first full night of programming - we don't start full tech till tuesday so there's still time to find out that other things are having problems. I have one opto iso splitter left and a host of DMX so I'm probably going to...

The control map goes EOS ethernet ethernet switch ethernet NET3 Gateway(4 port) Universe 4 5 pin DMX Opto Isolator 5 pin DMX fixture - problem fixtures are in universe 4 and universe 6. - Both universes have the same control. 4 has an opto, six does not. - Problem fixtures...

The PARS are actually 5 pin and the cable is all rental and not mic cable. Sorry I thought Elation was higher end I take it all back.I have simplified the runs and terminated them and am still having the same problem.thanks margaret

We have now isolated the runs to 12 DLED pars each run and terminated each of those.Still getting the random flicker issue, they are also staying on when we don't want them to.I'm planning on calling Elation on Monday but if anyone else has any thoughts, I will take them readily.best margaret

Hello!Thanks for the quick reply. The largest number of fixtures I have in a chain is 28.The longest chain goes like this (not in order). I've attached a file to the post that shows the data runs.24 DLED's 3 MAC 350 Entours 1 Colorblaze 72so, less than 20 fixtures. I'm not sure how...

Hey all!First post for me so let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.I have 73 ELAR PAR 108s in the show I'm working on. We have them split between two universes I attached a circuit map of how the DMX is run.The problem that we are having is that if they are all on and we turn them all...
