Hey All,
The company I work for just picked up a new Chauvet Datastream4 DMX Splitter, and I'm only noticing now as I read the manual that apparently this particular splitter doesn't work well with Dimmers. To be specific, I think that the signal after being boosted doesn't play nicely with the DMX inputs on a dimmer but I'm unsure. Tried to search further on their website (and on Control Booth) but haven't found anything yet. I believe that I've noticed this problem before on another unit we own, but I thought the amplified ports on the unit were buggy because when I moved the cable to the Thru port the dimmers worked fine.
Wondering if anyone could shed some light on why this would be an issue, and if anyone has experienced this before with this model? Did you end up purchasing another model (around the same price range) that did properly support Dimmers?
Thanks for your help!
