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:

    Andreas,

    Did you have any other fixtures on the same universe as the dimmers?
    If you had moving lights on the same universe and they didn't close their shutters and move to pan and tilt of 0/0, then this was either an issue with your dimmer rack or possibly an issue with your dimmer rack being particularly picky about DMX timing information.
