Hello Again,

I have currently hooked up my computer running LightJams to an ETC Ion. The problem that I am running into is that all patched dmx addresses flash when off, and flicker when on. I am on the same IP address, and can confirm that the board is not sending any weird messages. I installed a SACNViewer and that also receives no flickering.

Update: Instead of sending sACN I switched it to ArtNet. This seems to have stabilized it. So it seems to be an issue with Multicast vs. Unicast. If it's not too much of hassle it would still be nice to know what the problem was here!

Hi Ted,

It looks like Lightjams and the ETC were sending the same sACN universes, at the same time. To stop Lightjams, you can set the master speed to 0% or make sure all grids are deactivated. If only the master intensity is at 0% or the result of the grids is a black output, Lightjams still sends 2 updates per second.
