Element DMX Addresses Not Responding. I have an Element 60-500. I am running 26 Elation Opti Par QAs. In the past each light had their own set of addresses and could be controlled individually. Now, certain groups of addresses do not work. Basically addresses 250-350 are not responding. All lights are addresses and labeled as usually. From the board in the second universe I have a show baby sending signal to another show baby on stage. That runs into an opti-splitter that runs 4 lines out to each of the 4 electrics. Currently only the lights addressed on the 1st and 4th electric work and respond. I have verified the show baby work (1st and 4th electrics respond). I also checked the dmx splitter. I tried switching the 4 lines running out of the splitter to see if the dmx splitter is bad, but the same electrics work. I have also set some lights on the 2nd electric to the same dmx addresses as ones that work on the 1st, and they now work. This means the cables are fine, and the lights seem okay too. This leads me to believe it is patched in the board incorrectly. But, I can not for the life of me figure out what is different, or where I went wrong. I have tried deleting old show data, restarting the board, and updated the software. I tried starting a new show and repatching, but same problem. Also, the power to the lights are parked on full (checked that). Still no luck. How did I lose the ability to use those addresses? Currently I have them grouped so they all work in batches, but I would like to run them individually. FYI, I work at a high school, so the majority of the people using the board are between 13-17 years old. As you can imagine I find myself fixing loads of things, but this has me STUMPED! Can anyone help!
