Congo Jr DMX Flickering

Hi there,

I have used my Congo Jr several times for the last two months and I am having an issue.

I noticed that for the last 3 productions (different venue, lighting system) some fixtures start to flickering randomly. In all of the above situations we terminate the dmx line and we used dmx splitters and the flickering never stopped. I am start worrying that is a problem of the desk. Any ideas?

Thanks

try switching off RDM and/or Dimmer feedback.

Florian is probably right, there are some fixtures out there that cannot cope with the existence of RDM.

ETC consoles and DMX/RDM Gateways have settings that let you turn RDM on/off individually per physical DMX port, so you can have it on for the fixtures that have RDM features, and off for the ones that can't cope:

For the rear DMX ports, RDM Enable/Disable is in System Settings > Output > Local DMX Output.

For Net3 DMX/RDM Gateways, RDM Enabled/Disable is at the Gateway front panel (push the button to see the options) or remotely using Gateway Configuration Editor.
