Lamps moving on on their own...

Hi Again,

Today's issue is that I have a fixture which keeps moving of it's own accord.

Every half hour or so, the lamp will snap to a different position (probably its 'Home' position). Thee's nothing to indicate any changes on the desk (no change flags, etc) Live Attributes still shows the fixture as being set to its previous pallette, and nobody is touching the desk -I was on the floor when it did it last ! Re-cutting in the Preset brings it back again.

Has anyone else come across this spooky phenomenon ? -it's odd that it's only happening with one lamp (a Mac 2000)

Thanks again

Richard

  • Hi Richard -

    Actually I would be more surprised if it were more than one fixture doing this. This is not likely a console problem. Check the fixture out for a bad control card, dodgy DMX or power cable. If the console isn't changing its data then it is most likely sending the correct values, and the fixture has something wrong with it.

    I hope this helps -

    Thanks much -
