Hi guys, I'm the head tech guy at my highschool (I apologize I'm not professional, please bear with me if I don't know terminology, but im pretty solid on the basics)
So here is my issue,
I have a variety show coming up, that i am designing the lights for. My school had 3 Strand CD-80 dimmer packs, and a strand MX (the model that supports 4 dimmers)
Whenever i try and connect the scroller power supply to the dimmer pack (dmx out on the dimmer pack to dmx in on the psu, ive tried switching that too) it reads NO DMX, I have it set to start on channel 37 since the other dimmer ends on 36.
When I plug it directly in to our light board, it reads DMX OK and I'm able to control it with the sliders on the board.
I've tried resetting, repatching, and reconfiguring everything, but nothing seems to be working!
My suspicion is that its something with the white switches (on the red background) on the dimmer pack, but our packs are from around 1985! So the manual is long gone.
Any feedback/input would be greatly appreciated!
