Enttec Pro - does it hold a sequence?
Posted: 18 Mar 2011, 20:55
I'm still troubleshooting from my line drop the last time I ran a show. My LED PUCK lights are great, but the auto programs aren't running right when the USB or DMX cable are pulled. They try, but the one set to master continues, and the other 3 match each other with a different pattern than the master, and about every 3-5 jumps they go dark 
I really don't care if the lights aren't in sync with each other if the line drops, but I can't have 3 of my 4 lights going dark!
If I unplug everything, then restore power to the tree with the master, then the tree with both slaves, all is fine... but that's not really a great option if I'm trying to reboot the computer to pick up for the line drop. I thought there was a benefit to the Enttec Pro that it stored something so the lights would keep going even if the light program stopped. Or am I thinking of something else?
Also, I don't have a terminator yet, but for 4 lights chained together will that be an issue? And I'm still confused as to why cell phone interference can affect directly cabled systems... but I'm still learning =)
