ColourSource Spot - dmx issue

Hi Elementmog,
exactly the same here. Some of the 20 brandnew Colorsource fixtures wil have its startadress increased or decreased by one digit when powered-up after powerdown.
They are adressed from a splitter, just maybe it has to do with RDM? The splitter starts up at the same time as the fixtures.
I'll try tomorrow to power-up with direct feed from the console and post back if this solves the issue for me.

Very useful to know. My suspicions were also about dodgy DMX and RDM, particularly as I am having other issues with some different units. The whole install is brand new, and I haven't had time to work out how the dmx is distributed, other than I have 8 dmx outputs in the room controlled from a patch elsewhere in the building.

Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are seeing in your ColorSource Fixtures. You have found a bug that came to our attention recently that has to do with changes being made to the fixtures configuration while a previous save is still storing itself in the fixture. The fix for this will be in the next build of ColorSource software which is scheduled for an early 2016 release.

Until then, you can try the following work around. If you set the DMX address to a number 1 away from what you are planning on and let the screen time out, that should signal the save has been made. At that point, you can adjust the DMX address to the correct number and it should then store appropriately.

Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and hope that the work around gets you what you need for now.

Have a good day,
