I do have a pixcon in my display but that is working fine. Not sure if this is the same problem others are having on the pixie controllers or something different. The same rule applies, what's the firmware version? JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidancar Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 All of my controllers are running version 1.09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBrown86 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I am also experiencing issues with the regular controllers only. Pixcon16 seems ok. I have 3 - 16PC-G3’s running Ver 1.06 2 - 32LD-G3’s. One with Ver 1.12 and the other with 1.13. And a used, but newly added CTB16D with version 4.40. Also a DMX1000 ver 1.41. The 4.40 controller is one I added this year. The others hadn’t caused me problems in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For S4 users: Are you exporting from SuperStar in Legacy format or as Intensity files? For S5 users. Did you create the SuperStar effects entirely in SuperStar and export them to Sequence Editor (as you would have done in S4), or did you create them using the "Insert SuperStar Effects" from the S5 Sequencer? K6, I am exporting from Superstar into existing SE files as intensity data. I'm not using S5 this year. I'm using 4.4.2 Edited December 7, 2018 by LightshowNoober Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidancar Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 It seems downgrading to the 115k enhanced network speed fixed the issue at least for now. Still would like to be running the 500k enhanced but I'll just have to ride it out until this is resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I failed to find the answer. Sorry if I missed it. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K, reason why I asked is because I ran intI a problem today where the show director the individual had and thought was a G3 ended up being an earlier generation. Wanted to ensure you want having the similar problem. 4 AC controllers and a pixie8. All set up had no lights. Went out on a limb and set the SD card as a not gen3 device at 115k and finally had lights. We had no lights previously since no red adapter so being a g3 MP3 would not require an adapter tried that still nothing. So the pixie will work at 115k at least in a Director.

This is one area I’ve never really looked into or heard much about. Maybe that’s what is causing my occasional lag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlogan Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Just throwing this out there..... Are your data cables running in close proximity and parallel to the power cables? If so try separating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention that, unit 4 on my roof (main problem controller) has its data cable zip tied into a bundle of power cables running off the roof to my porch. But I’m not sure if that is what was causing it since it doesn’t seem to happen anymore with the slower network speed. Also the controllers that are connected ‘downstream’ of that one haven’t had any issues to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at lower speeds it can and usually will end up causing issues and yes, it can and will also affect any units downstream from it that it's connected to. I know that from my first year with these things. better to always keep data as far away from any power wires as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
