Starting tech week for second show with new Strand Classic Palette console. Connected to Leprecon VX-48 dimmer rack plus 5 Leprecon ULD dimmer packs. All lights are under control, but we have continuous but irregular lights blinking on and off (channels on low will surge up and down, and channels off will come on and off). Serious annoyance... Sometimes, it seems to hit a few (3-4) consecutive channels in a row, almost like a quick low level channel check, and then goes to another group.
When a channel is up at or near full, it seems to be unaffected.
When DMX cable is unplugged at console, problem stops. DMX line runs from console to DRk, and out of DRk to splitter which feeds the 5 dimmer packs, daisy chained. Two other feeds go to scroller power supplies, but this issue showed up before they were connected to system. I put DMX terminator on last dimmer pack on string, and no change.
Changed DMX "flavor" setting on console to different frequencies; maybe affected a bit, but couldn't resolve problem.
I'm new to the game, and don't really know what to do next. Seems like console is sending out random/stray signals?? Problem with console, DMX configuration, or splitter, or...??
Any ideas or troubleshooting tips? Thanks!
