    DMX Dimmer packs complete disaster

    They are MaxFX AIC 167 4 channel DMX dimmer packs. My wife is just looking on the internet something about using a dummy load that might fix it, but others are saying it is a bad idea.

    DMX Dimmer packs complete disaster

    Unfortunately, I was under the impression that dimmer packs would actually turn lights plugged into them, completely off. Just tested the dimmer packs we bought with our rope lights and it is a total fail. Set at 0, they blink until about 8. between 8 and 255 there isn't a great deal of...

    13 channel LED DMX stage lights

    I think I've worked it out, just testing. I created a virtual controller and linked both channel 13 and rgb channel 1 (1,2,3). Not sure if that's the right way, but it seems to be working.

    13 channel LED DMX stage lights

    I have a 13 channel dmx led stage (4) lights I got from China. The instruction manual was sparse and not very clear. They weren't working very well until I placed the 13th channel on another controller in LSP. Now I have 4 RGB channels on the first controller in LSP and the 13th on another...

    About to give up on LSP Pro...

    Have you tried to create a new simple sequence with one or 2 lights. The larger the project the more things that could go wrong, both hardware and sequencing bugs. Just a suggestion, I'm only new.

    Which USB DMX dongle to use with LSP?

    Thanks AAH. I looked at Vixen, but it doesn't support syncing to a video which is something I want to incorporate as I don't have many lights to start with. I've downloaded the trial version and it seems to do what I want, although I haven't physically tried it with lights yet. This year, just...

    Which USB DMX dongle to use with LSP?

    Really, really new to this, so not sure if this is more of a hardware question, but I've decide on Light Show Pro. Which USB dmx dongle is recommended for use with the software? Can any usb dmx controller be used?

    Free software to sync lights to a video?

    Hi, Just new to the world of light shows. Just wondering if there is a free (or at least cheap) program to sync lights with a video? The only one I could find that could do it was VenueMagic, but it's about $600. Thanks in advance.
