[SML] Problem with I-Que on Element Desk

[James D Smith, RC4 Wireless]

Hey Chad,

My guess is that some devices are not properly parsing the DMX packet 
start code.  For DMX channels the start code must be zero.  A different 
start code is used for RDM packets, and just about all the other start 
codes (there are only 255, it's an 8-bit number) have been registered to 
various manufacturers for their own proprietary uses or have been 
permanently reserved.

And my guess about varying behavior with multiple units that are the 
same make/model, is different firmware versions.

Jim
