I have a customer running a Road Hog 4 and renting a DP-8000 for some extra rental gear. Both are running version 2.1 and the DP-8000 is connected directly to the Road Hog 4.
Normally they are doing 3 universes of DMX and 3 universes of Art-NET out of the Road Hog 4.
For this special show they cloned those 3 DMX universes, their 3 Art-NET universes and then added another 6 universes (a mix of DMX and Art-NET) in the DP-8000.
For rehearsals, their DMX house rig (Universes 1-3) is connected to the Road Hog 4, the rest of the gear connected to the DP-8000 in a mix of DMX and Art-NET gear. The Art-NET is not connected to the Road Hog 4.
They are seeing 2 issues here.
1. The internal DP-8000 Road Hog-4 is sporadically going off-line for a second or two causing output to hang.
2. The external DP-8000 is sporidcially going off-line for a second or two causing the output to hang. The two issues happen at different times.
The client moved all fixtures to the DP-8000 and unpatched the Road Hog 4 universes as a work around. The external DP-8000 seems to stay on-line, but output on the Art-NET is still hanging sporadically.
Anyone have any thoughts on this issue? Thanks for the help in advance.
