Roadhog crash!!! DMX issue I think? HELP!

Wow!
Do I need help. At 10pm tonight my Roadhog stopped sending out DMX info according to the DMX output window during a show. Thank god I have a small DMX board for my conventionals. The playback faders and touchscreen do there thing and say Full or 0% when moved and the touch screen presses and depresses. All good there. The Launched Processes All is running. I reboot the Hog and all is good. Then roughly 2 to 7min later in it freezes. All movers stop, colour changes, you name it. All control is lost. No DMX info is broadcasting. The DMX output window DMX value numbers stop. No change when intensity, colour, gobo is engaged on all fixtures, nothing happens. I have also included photos of all possible things you may need and have the show file ready to send you but my money is on a heat issue or DMX dp8k board issue or the image has gone nuts. We updated to the latest software when it came out and have had no problems until now.
We have a sold out show tomorrow night and would love to have the hog up and running asap.

Thank you in advance,

  • Hi All,
    I am going to upgrade the XPe image 1.6.0 tomorrow and see if that helps. Since the DMX error the following show all was ok and the weekend shows went good, no problems. Tonight it showed it's ugly head again. The only common thing we can find is that the same LD is working and did the same action as last time which is rerecording the positions of the 250's in the position pallet for that band which should follow over to the cuelist # & cue 1. That's the only common thread. After which the board DMX info freezes and the lights stop responding. After rebooting it keeps happening without doing a thing. When it happened last time, the next day we booted it up and all was ok. Makes no sense. We bought this board new last November and hope if it's a hardware issue this can be resolved in a timely fashion. I'll let you know how the install goes tomorrow. Thank you for the help.
