DMX issue

Boy, I sure inherited a good venue...

Alright. New problem.

I have a CMY Studio Spot 575, then 4 Studio Spot 250s, another CMY Studio Spot 575, and then finally a Colorpower Box before the run terminates.

Worked beautifully for a year until last week. All my movers are not listening now. The Colormergers at the end of the run are still trucking along and listening to the hog, but there is nothing out of the movers.

Ideas? Suggestions?

    Do you have a proper terminator at the end? Make sure the resistor in your teminator is 120 ohm.

    This doesn't sound like a cabel issue b/c you have properly functioning units at the end of the chain.

    If it's not the terminator, then the best way I've found to troubleshoot probelms of this kind is to selectively remove devices from the link from the start to the end.

    So go to your first unit and unlug the DMX lines and plug them in together. If no change, move on to the next.

    This won't sort out a bad cable, but it should lead you to any device that may be corrupting the signal along the way.

    Hope this helps. :)
