Saw today in controlling some individual LED lamps by way of a LED/DMX Decoder, that the light board ETC Color Source was the problem in each time plugged into the decoder, the decoder would shut down. This either by way of fixture menue in not having a LED tape decoder with a specific bode rate for which it would work with, or in general as with other light boards you can slow down communications to the extent the other gear worked.
Not the first time a light or hoist won't work with a light board due to data speed.
Glad we found this detail out two weeks before two projects in R&D amongst other projects got installed and didn't work. Upgrade in decoders installed for the light board, and DMX speed adustable on the light board?
Granted this Color source light board is the first I am learning since Kliegl Performer II, Strand Lite Pallet III, Q-File and my favorate ETC v.1 Vision... I'm learning again, but in my case given I mostly deal with LED' nodes or tape and not fixtures... this is a problem with the light board I think which needs an upgrade.
