My company recently installed a small LED rig in a grammar school auditorium. We left the 10 conventional dimmers and added 6 Elation DLED 60 Tri strips, 10 Elation EPar QW, and 7 Elation Quad Par. Each fixture model has a dedicated and terminated line off the opto split.
For some reason there is this intermittent flash that occurs over channels not in use. I hooked up my handy dandy Swisson XMT-350 and noticed there is a dip in the bitrate every time it flashes. It looks like a steady 68 Hz, then a drop to 66 Hz, a flash of the rig (sometimes the whole rig, sometimes 1 line off split, sometimes just 2 fixtures), then back to a happy 68HZ.
Have any of you guys and gals come across anything like this? What could I possibly try to resolve it, keeping in mind I've tried all the normal troubleshooting tricks. I've changed cables, opto, consoles, and fixtures...
Now the school year has started and I'll feel terrible if the rig flashes throughout the entire first production of the drama club. The only suggestion I can make anymore is getting an instant replay to play a thunder track after each flash.
Thank you for any help you're able to provide!
