Random blink/pulse with elation node

High school here with limited knowledge. We have a new enode2 poe plugged into ion xe outputting to an elation six par.

We've got  control of the fixture except there is a random flicker/strobe/blink. It does not have a discernable pattern and when put it at 0 intensity, it goes out and randomly flashes white.

Tried other fixtures. This setup with the address works when we use a different node. Talked with etc and elation tech support. Elation thought it might be a bad node, so they swapped it. Same issue. Apart from the blink, everything else works fine: color, pulse, strobe,)


Rdm is off. Artnet is off. Changed the ip of the node to within 1 of the board. Subnets match.

Anyone else had this issue or can lend advice?

Thank you in advance

    that has come up before. from what i can tell it's because elation doesn't fully support the sACN standard. there is an extension to the standard by ETC which other products should ignore if they don't understand it. unfortunately elation seems to ignore a tiny part of the standard and because of that fails to ingore that extension.

    there were rumours about a firmware upgrade for some of the elation products, but i don't know those products well enough to tell you if there is one for your specific model. you should contact elation to have this fixed.
