LEDs not flashing synchonized

Post by Sancho »

Hello DVC-community,
i REALLY need fast help.

I just got my 128-m controller from bax-shop yesterday. I downloaded the latest drivers and DVC3 version and installed it and everything seemed to work. But it does not.

Now i have the following problem:
My showtec LED Pars 56 are not flashing sychronized, it seems to be random. At the moment i am only trying it with 4 Pars which all set to 1 (DMX-adress). So you would expect them to flash synchronized, since they are all receiving the same signal-values. When i try it with a crappy showtec LED operator it works fine but with the DVC their going random. I tried it with a 110 ohms resistance and without but it does not make any difference.

/// EDIT
It only does not work when i use the flash function the LEDs have on channel 5 (I am using the SSL from the library) When i program i strobe scene it does work. But still i do no get why i have this problem since they should receive exactly the same values?!?! ///


Does anybody know the solution to this problem?? Fast help is very welcome because the opening of our small club will be already tomorrow.

Thanks in advance!!

your problem is based on different clock in separate cans. if U want to have the strobo/flash effect synchronized, your cans must be seted in master/slave mode. otherwise they become a signal to starting flashing/strobing, but every can runs by itself intern clock. it makes not-synchronized effect.

if U need to have all cans on separate adress for better using in color or beam effects, U can create strobo scene, which containes two steps : shutter/dimmer on and off. i'm using this scene - with timing 1.step shutter on 0:00:20, 2.step shutter off 0:00:80 - for controlling strobo effect for all lights (moving heads, led cans, par cans, washes). this is the only way how to synchronize different fixtures..
