Going into first tech with Smart Color scrollers controlled by our new Ion, and having this problem:
I started out running all my conventional fixtures and the scrollers in universe 1. We only have one universe distributed through our ancient space, so I have never split things up and never had to with the old Express. This time, I get a fluctuating range of freakouts from the scrollers-- varying from a little jitter to no response whatsoever. Swap them to universe 2 (with my last too-short 5-pin stretched like a circus slackline in order to reach from tech table to scroller power supply) and they work great. Swap everything else to universe 2 as well and they freak again.
So apparently, my Ion refuses to control scrollers unless they're in a separate universe. It's been a long day but I'm pretty certain I've ruled out faults everywhere else. Seems crazy that Ion would cause issues where Express didn't. Any ideas?
