Conventionals in a Cuelist

It's Nutcracker Season... Whoo Hoo!!!

So the show this week was designed and run by the first outside LD not intimidated by our new HogIII (we bought it this past July). He's experienceing a problem I haven't seen. He starts up his show at the login screen and does a lamp check. When he goes to run through his cue list for the show, the conventionals don't come up. Our Studio Spots work just fine.

Here's what we have:

1 HogIII
1 DP2000
1 HP laptop running 3PC (not connected when we see this issue)
1 Linksys hub connecting the network
1 DMX universe with 100+ conventionals and fog machines
1 DMX universe with 2 Studio Spot CMY Zooms

So far the problem goes away when you restart the console. Today when it happened I connected the laptop to the show and got the same result when I ran through the cues.

Because the phenomena happens with both the console and the laptop, could it be the DP2000? Has the console attracted a new theater ghost? Is my console mad at me because I asked the board op for Barenaked Ladies at Radio City about his GrandMA?

Anyone have any ideas?

Much Thanks,

    Ok, now I know what you're talking about (when you said "highlight palatte"). I had forgotten about the highlight and lowlight feature when I read your last post.

    Nope; not using either palatte. I still have the show saved. I was a witness to the issue but never tried to recreate it. I have some time next week to play and I'll see if I can make it happen again.

    The LD that saw the issue grew up on the Hog 2. I suspect that he has a specific sequence of what he does before and during his lamp check. If indeed this is a bug, and it's caused by a specific command line sequence, I doubt that I'll be able to replicate the issue.

    Here's to hoping.
