Request- Hold Playback On Show Load

Please consider ....

Would be nice if the H4's would save playback activity upon console shutdown or crash to be hot loaded upon show load. This way the console will send saved playback DMx values instead of default Values on show load so the show doesn't go black on reboot.

The current workaround is to unplug DMX outputs after shutdown or crash, then re plug DMX after show load and playback. The above solution would be a nice feature.

Thanks for the consideration.

    Personally I think the current "clean start" is best along with the "keep alive" signals used by the DPs and widgets.

    If you really need to be sure you can keep signal going to your rig in the rare event of a console crash, you really should be running another console/processor or HPC system either on the network or as a separate system with an A/B switch between them.
