AndyJones Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hey guys, I have a Vista T2 controlling some SGM led tubes arranged into chandaliers via some Elation Artnet boxes. I have three chandaliers each has 35 strips with 27 leds. So take up around 6 universes each. To save me time I have only patched in the first 6 universes, which I am then duplicating the output from the desk so that all three chandaliers copy each other. The problem comes when I try and control them. When I try and black them out they go down to around 10% and will only go out fully if I hit 0% a few times, and mess with the infensity. If I select all the light on just one universe, everything that isn't selected will still flicker as I change colour. They generally seem slow and laggy. I know the desk is doing the right thing, all the output windows are saying so. I have a suspicion that these Elation Art net boxes are cheap and cheerfull and not really up to the job? Has anyone here used them? Does anyone have any ideas on what I can look for to try and solve this? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Which Elation boxes are they? We've just sent ours back for a firmware upgrade after it started going dodgy. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJones Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 X-net 8 apparently. The boxes were supplied by another company, who don't seem to know much about them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Ours was a Node8. There was another thread on here about these boxes not being great. If you can Unicast the Artnet, that may help (it did for us). Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
