Pathport Unos causing flashes/ DMX Speed

I have several Porthport nodes mixed into my system of mostly ETC gear.  Two of those in two different spaces seem to be causing very sporadic very brief flashes in certain certain fixtures.  One of the fixture types is a PLCyc.  The other scenario is that our Lustrs do it when some old Colorado 1's are in the DMX string.

Both of these nodes have the DMX speed at Medium where it was set to try to head off this issue.  I am going to change them to Slow and see if that helps.  My question is what is the benefit of having the highest speed?.  Will I be able to notice any difference if they are all set at slow?  Should I expect other fixtures to start acting up because of it?

Years ago, we fixed a similar issue by disabling RDM everyhere.

  • Update-  Well that was quick.  Turns out the Pathport nodes all had RDM still enabled.  I'm going to leave the speed at medium and disable the RDM.  We probably would have noticed that if the Pathport nodes would show up in Concert.  Anybody know anything about that?

    I am still interested in why there are the different DMX speeds though.
