Re: DMXIS Not responding - lags - slow

1 week, 3 programming sessions (3 or 4 hours ea), and a 3 hour show later, no crashes or lockups!

DMX Pro Manager - reinstall firmware and reset settings to default, seems to have worked.

This makes me happy! Thanks for the help!.

Re: SOLVED: DMXIS suddenly acting sluggish and chases are choppy

Used a different computer and got Entec Pro Manager to work.

Re: How to adjust 1 fader in ALL presets at one time?

Masking is the work-a-round I needed! I set up a starter scene with the mover on and focus un-masked. I'll adjust and save that preset at the beginning of each night..

Re: How to adjust 1 fader in ALL presets at one time?

Is there a way to say set channel 266, in all banks and scenes, to the dmx value of, say, 193.

Instead of doing percentage increases/decreases?
