Hi all,
I am having a problem with DMX signal noise seemingly. I am running a Leviton Innovator 24/48 with three universes connected to it, one of them having three Studio Colors and 2 Studio Spots on the line.
When going through my show, after about 1.5 hrs, I will start seeing some erratic behavior on my moving lights. Lights will flicker, jitter, or even change color. It seems to get worse as time passes as well. All the lights spaz out at the same time. I have tried changing ports on my board, changing cables, connecting one light at a time to see if a particular problem light or cable can be identified, and no pattern seems to be emerging. My dmx run is terminated as well.
I have a huge show this weekend so this problem needs to be resolved quick, so any responses I receive will be more than appreciated. My next course of action is going to try an optosplitter to increase signal strength. One thing I did notice was when I shortened the dmx run length the problem subsided for a while, so I am thinking that the signal is just losing power over time. Hopefully the optosplitter will give me the power I need to keep it steady.
