[SML] Unwanted Strobing

[Fritz, Barry]

I have used some led fixtures that if a fixture in the DMX chain is set to slave, effect, or a similar type of setting it will throw off the other fixtures.

Do you have termination at the end of the runs ?

Are you using RDM on the console?

Could also be a failing DMX cable.


Two cents.
