DMX Output Frequency

Was Teching my FB4's internal DP and four dmx ports before taking it out on a job and noticed that even though the H4 software allows for you to increase DMX Refresh Rate to an upward number of 44hz, that the maximum actual DMX RR is limited to 29hz.

Is this by design?

Are we limited to 29hz on all internal DP's?

Are all of the External DP's limited to the same RR?

Can we get 44hz out of artnet and a 3rd party node?

Don't have a node or an external DP to test as I'm at home right now..

Would appreciate a reply from HES.

  • You guys probably saw this, but our recent version 2.3 release allows refresh rates up to 42Hz across all hardware in the Hog 4 range. Note that adding USB widgets (single, super, or super duper) may reduce refresh rates due to the additional time needed to communicate with and sync the widgets. Also note that some fixtures may not be compatible with higher refresh rates as you previously mentioned.
