I don't quite understand why taking the damaged Tiger board out made a difference to the rest of the system, but I now recall another person (or two) saying something similar last season.

I actually had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago where a couple Rita27Ch boards were getting some random flicker - I isolated it to one of my other 27Ch boards - as soon as I disconnected it, the flickering went away.. Luckily had a spare, so just swapped it out, and all good now.. I'm guessing the lack of isolation on the DMX ports is how they affected each other?

Yeah, the isolated DMX input is the ultimate solution, but just not sure why a bad channel on the T48 would cause issues with the rest of the system. Maybe it's more of a T48 issue in general, not just when it has bad channels?

One of my flickering issues last year was traced to a tiger 48 controller with a burnt out FET. I think it has something to do with the type of FET used which is a surface mount type and not like the traditional 3 pin FETs that are normally used.

Still can't seem to get LSP to output to DMX . . . . this is even starting from scratch with a sequence that's just DMX and tried on 2 different computers (my show comp and lappy). Would uninstall/reinstall help?
