I have two Ions that I link together . One resides in the control room and one on stage for setup and focus. The other day I fired up the system and the client (the one on stage) came up will all patched channels showing they were Null. The one in the control room ( Primary) did not show any channels as null. I exited Ion on both consoles and then went back in. Same problem. I rebooted the client and still the same. Finally I rebooted them both and the client finally came up fine. Any Ideas ? Not a big deal for me now that I know how to get around it Oh both ions are running 1.8.1. I'm waiting for 1.9 I haven't had any problem with large file build up because both consoles get shut down at the end of the day.
While I'm here there is one other problem that I've discovered , that is reoccuring. When the two consoles are running together moving the grandmaster or hitting the blackout button on the client causes the grand master to limit it's high level to about 67 % and its low level to about 42 % . The levels vary from time to time. I've made it a habit of not touching the master or the blackout button while the two consoles are linked. I've also found that some times running the grandmaster from the bottom of it's run to the top about a dozen times corrects the problem. Got me !
