Loss of dmx

I'm currently running a show using the Hog3pc system (1 PC, 1 widget, 1 playbackwing and 1 progwing).

During the last show I ran into a very confusing problem. Suddenly all conventionel lights drops to zero (for about ½sec). Having no clue why? After a few minutes this happens again, although this time I spoted the widget during the blackout, and I saw that the two diods active and dmx OK were out but they came back as the lights went up again (I truly suspect a connection between the diods and the blackout:p )

Hence the link doid all the time indicated connection between the widget and my comuter (the widget is directly plugged in my computer) I'm clueless whats the fuzz is about! :1zhelp:

    I am unfortunately unable to comment at all as to why this happened.
    However as a wee safety precaution for show conditions I would make sure my Dimmers are set to "Hold last DMX command"

    I am guessing because you have not mentioned your moving lights cutting out too and things like Pan and Tilt going to ZERO values that the Widget is not actually sending out all zeros on the DMX lines.

    As I said before........ this is not an answer to your problem, merly just a way of making sure you don;e have blackouts unexpectedly during a show.
