Chauvet ColorStrip Issue

Brand new to the CS-20. While learning to record Cues, I set a few up with Chauvet ColorStrip and after playing a few cues, the ColorStrip behaves erratically. First it will not turn off. Then it will not function until I remove and re-patch it. Could this be DMX error or is a fixture issue? Or is it operator issues? Any history of this?

All of the other setup was going very well. Patching dimmers and devices worked seamlessly.

  • I can’t claim to have hands on experience of the Colorstrip but I have no problem with other Chauvet battens. However looking at the DMX functions in the User Manual I see there is a lot of interrelationship between channels which can cause unexpected behaviour, especially if the default values set up when patched are not as expected. I have some cheap moving wash lights which always flicker when first patched because the default value for strobe is in mid strobe range rather than open or closed. A small annoyance probably caused by the ETC team not being given full information when they were asked to devise a profile for the fixture.
