Don Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Init is shown when the G3 Director starts up. The longest I've seen it there is 30 seconds or so. Does it stay in that state the whole time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Step 1 - Rule out trouble with the director. Create an "all on" sequence for one of the controllers. When you create the show have it 'play anytime' and see if it runs. Are you still using 3.12.2 version of the software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 yes on software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If memory serves, in 3.12.2 you have no option but to use 2 networks if you want to use both ports. (I could be wrong here, someone jump in if you know the answer.) If you are using both network ports make sure that the controllers connected to the NET2 jack are set for AuxA.

Don Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Download this file:https://app.box.com/Sync-Anytime-AllOn-16Chan-1m It's a one minute, all on, 16 channel sequence set to run anytime power is applied. Unzip the ZIP file to your computer then copy it to the SD card. (Speaking of which, is this a SD card supplied by LOR?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I understand the pilot error part! Did that a couple nights ago. Although I only have my year round landscape lighting up, I wanted to play the first Christmas Sequence that I have converted to the substantially changed channel layout for 2015. One of the parts I particularly wanting to see was a WS2811 strip along a planter that was controlled as 8 groups of 12 pixels in 2014 and now it's controlled as 94 individual pixels. Wanted to make sure I converted it right, and I also wanted to see a hand drawn twinkle effect I had created. Created a show with just the one song and played it as a show on demand. Not only did the pixels not play right, they didn't play at all! Head scratched that for a bit and then realized that DMX universe 2 was not turned on in the network configuration because I don't use those lights yet in my year round lighting show. Turned on universe 2 and it worked perfectly. And my hand drawn twinkle looked really good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
