Quick Question... Getting Closer
« on: November 11, 2012, »
Hey All,
I am using a ED going to an active hub.
I am using 16 strings with 75 nodes of pixels.
I have the DMX jumper set on Universe 8 and that runs to my LE's

now I go to Vixen and create a sequence with 4096 channels
I bring up the channel tester and the pixels work on channels 1-3600 (correct).
since i am on universe 8 the channels for DMX should be 3585-4096 (according to documentation).
when i go to 3584 the channel 1 LED comes on
when i go to 3585 the channel 1 LED stays on
When i go to 3586 the channel 3 LED comes on
when i go to 3587 the channel 3 LED stays on
and so on.
Every other light will come on and stay on for 2 channels.

I removed the DMX jumper and put it on Universe 1.
channel 1-16 worked great!
I put the jumper back on universe 8 and have the original problem again.
also, when it is on a high number it seems to respond slowly.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

That sounds like a configuration issue in Vixen

I agree but there is not a lot of configuration to it (unless I am missing something).
I added the ED plugin for all channels.
I also don't understand why it works if I move it to universe 1.
Thanks again.

I would look at the setup of those higher channels on that upper universe and make sure that the logical channel numbers are not mapped to the physical channels in a strange way.
