I recently put in a 48 channel dimming rack that is used for larger events at my church. All 48 ETA circuits will flicker about 2-3 times per hour. I don't know if it's the age of the units or what. Power is fed via CamLock to an electrical panel mounted inside the rack and then fed out to the dimmers.
Portable Rack Specs:
DMX Range: 1-56
3 - ETA DMX/Ultraplex (DMX Fed)
2 - Chauvet DMX-4 Packs (Addressed 49-56)
1 - DMX-lator (Addressed to start at 25)
3 - ETA Ultraplex/Analog (Ultraplex Fed)
Generally, our house rack (ETC Sensor) is addressed 1-96 but since some of the ETAs shut off above 100, I moved our DMX range for the house rack to 57-150. After that, I've got about another 100 channels forintelligent fixtures.
DMX Layout:
Console > DMX Iso-Split > Sensor+ Rack
> Moving Heads
> ETA DMX Dimmers > DMX-Lator > Chauvet > on-stage led washes
This problem has happened for years but seems to be worse this year than previous ones.
Any suggestions?
