sysco Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 What would cause the bar in the sequencer editor to lag way behind and freeze throwing the whole sequence off making unplayable tried reinstall of S4.4.4 , HIT repair ,unload light o rama nothing is working, made up new sequences still the same need some help i'm lost any ideas thank you Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Are you talking about while sequencing or trying to play to control the lights from the Sequencer? My first guess is that either your CPU or more likely your video card can't keep up. I ended up replacing my sequencing computer a couple years ago because the video card simply could not keep up.

Orville Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) So do you have a lot of RGB elements in your sequence? When my other system was operational that had the better graphics, video and memory to run my shows fine, when doing real time sequencing, many times it would lag when testing directly from the SE. Just seems to be the nature of the beast. Yes, it can get frustrating, but depending on the number of RGB elements, controller types and network speeds or if using a single network, this seems to be common occurrence. As long as the actual show plays correctly, that's the main thing, if it isn't. Only other probable cause could be an excessive number of background programs are hijacking the CPU when the sequence is playing in the SE. You'll have to figure out what background programs are running and which ones you can disable or stop that aren't necessary, then the SE shouldn't lag or at least not as bad.

PhilMassey Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 You show two graphic adaptors in your list. The Intel is the on motherboard video chipset. Usually fairly mediocre speed. Are you sure that is disabled in the Bios or UEFI and you are actually running on the much faster Nvidia add in card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they blow as soon as you powered the Pixie 16 or did they blow while running the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sysco Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Jim there is only 50 pixels on each port they blew when i started the show but only on the first bank Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you mixed up the + and - wires to the string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any 5v strings all 12 v the pig tails were not changed, last year was the first year for pixel tree it worked fine just hooked up the lights that's what happened thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat whiskers at the pigtail to board plug. Tin or ferral the wires.recommended. Critter damage to the strings wires. Far end of strings (those with wires only) separated and sealed to prevent shorting (I just use a dab of Hot Glue. Liquid tape is an alternate) (really bad) Corrosion around the connectors (you may need to inspect the backside of the pixie) You would not believe what a Cola spill will do to a board in hours 😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sysco Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Nothing these are all new last year stored in the furnace room not in garage no marks nothing just going out side to hook all the pig tails up using a new spare Pixie 16 spare board see what happens thank you for you replies Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
