People seem to be enjoying my show again this year. Light wands (2000) have all been given out as of the day before yesterday. Candy cane stocks should be fully depleted today or tomorrow. So I guess the quantities were about right. Weather may have kept the crowds down by 20% overall, but...

I have always wanted to do this song. (And, pay no attention to the tune to saying "your radio station goes here")

I find the irwin works fine, just turn the little knob down from "kill" to "stun". After you do that, sometimes you need to use the xacto/craft knife to separate the conductors, they don't always pull apart easily like the bigger wires do... so maybe fugley is onto something there, especially...

Lots more questions. Let's start with the end connected to the Falcon. Is the Falcon powering it? Is it a factory xConnect or Ray Wu, or is it one you put on the string? Does putting another string on that port work, or does putting this string on another known working port work? (Just...

What kind of LEDs? When you say the first led is lighting up you mean the first first, or the first one after the break? The end meaning far end?

You are correct. If you do "per preview" with a 2D camera, you will get this result on the icicles that are perpendicular to the view. Possible solutions: 1. Go through all the effects and change them to another camera, or not do "per preview" (maybe use "default") 2. Do what I do, rotate the...

I agree that it is probably not the pigtail... the diff (network) cable with the 4 pairs is the cable I meant also. As it is not required that A be first in the chain, it wasn't obvious that this would be ruled out by the other receivers working.

If you get a chance to try test patterns, see if it locks on white ... if that's the case you can dim it at the controller until you have a chance to change the cabling.

Well, these things can be touchy ... if you can shorten or thicken the extension to it (or add another one to the other end of the string to add more power that might fix it. Or ... it could also be a bit of corrosion on a connector, or a problem with the pixel string that developed. But, as a...

Is it 12V? If it is 12V and it gets stuck on white but works again if you unplug and replug, you should try a data amp in the line to it. Of course there are other possible explanations...

(If not the cable, I don't suppose you have a spare SR to swap in for testing?)

OK, the cable could be bad. A little bit bad. If only one of the 4 pairs is bad / poor connection, you'll only get flickering on one port of the smart receiver. If it's the last receiver in the chain, the others won't be affected either. So that would cause problems on just one port of one SR.

Yep, I meant 7 not 5.

We can also double check the port config on the F48 page, or put a 100-node dummy prop on 5B and see what happens.

I am saying double check that the selector is on A, could be switches, sure. If it is not, only 5A, 6A, 7A, and 8A would be affected. No other ports or letters would get affected.. You are saying green is blue and blue is blue, not much other than the receiver could cause this.
