Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I couldn't seem to find it.
Here's the situation. About two years ago the Head Technician at my theatre bought 15 Chauvet COLORado 1-Tri Tour LED instruments that we use as a down wash on our three electrics. They worked beautifully and we were very happy. So he convinced us to then purchase Chauvet COLORado Ridge IPs as a solution to our dying cyc lights. And again we were happy and they worked fine.
Just recently though, they've begun to act... funny. Nearly two years after install the cyc lights began to intermittently flicker, and then rather frequently flicker.
I did a lot of research, and reading on this website actually, and realized that we had never placed a terminator on our DMX daisy chain of 21 instruments. So, logically I purchased one from technical theatre industry leading giant amazon.com and as soon as I pluged the terminator in to the end of the daisy chain, the Cyc lights stopped flickering. Viola! Problem solved!!
UNTIL!! I looked to my left and notice that the down light became like an addicts eyes after 2 days of detox; BLINKING LIKE NO ONES BUSINESS. But as soon as I removed the terminator _____________ solid, except of course the cyc lights...
Now, our run IS rather long and I've looked into purchasing wireless transmitters and receivers but I don't think that will necessarily solve the issue that the terminator makes everything act a fool.
Any advice would be appreciated!
