wirekat Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Oh great LOR mystics I have finally given up and I ask for guidance.I have been getting glitches with some channels during my show.It only happens with my CTB16DV5 boards. I have mini trees that stay during a songbut then shut off when the song is done. I have some channels that stay on orshimmer on my LED mega trees and turn off after a song.I was using 1.6.9 but upgraded to 1.6.15 this morning. I spent the afternoon flashingthe firmware from 2.0 to 4.1 on all boards.I ran a test sequence and the glitches are still there. I also have CTB16PC boards(non-kit) and they work fine with no problems at all.I'm beginning to think it's a communication issues since I am running a total of 47boards but the longest run is 200' from the computer to the farthest board. The problem boards are in the middle of the loop. All cabling has been tested andre-tested.I'm using the USB485B and the driver appears to be the latest.The computer is a dedicated computer just running LOR and Frosty Player and nothing else. It's not on a network nor does it have internet. I have WMP 10.0 installed.Any ideas oh great ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightORamaDan Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 This does sound like a communications problem.... I am not sure what speed you are using (as selected in the Sequence Editor ... Edit->Preferences->Network Preferences but if you are at the middle speed see if high speed (far right) makes a difference or if you are at High Speed then see if middle speed changes things.

wirekat Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Thanks Dan!I assume that by opening the sequence editor and changing settings there that theyare then used during the running of the show. In other words I don't have tochange each sequence just that setting, click OK and close the sequence editor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The setting in the Sequence Editor is the global setting that will be used by the Show Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirekat Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Well I changed the setting from "average" to "slow - for long distance" and it has improved but there are now different glitches and less of them.I have an Easy Light Linker pair I could try tomorrow?

Also make sure you put the speed back to the middle setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
