This is because I have some Martin lights that choke on the DMX output of the LCX, but get along fine with the output of LC. Martin have acknowledged the issue with this and other "high refresh" controllers, but have refrained from producing a fix for nearly a year now!
Hmm, the old 518 also had this problem. It's difficult to conform to very the simple (but tight) USITT 1990 specs ;-)

Interesting, I ran a show back in May on my LCX with 4 x Martin Pro 518s with no problems at all. There were also Mac 600s, VL2202s and scrollers - all of these performed flawlessly and had many more cues than the generic rig, also running off the same Lanbox.

Because of my reliance on the moving lights I took a belt and braces approach. I used a DMX splitter with a individual buffered outputs for: scrollers, Mac 600s, VL2202s, Pro 518s. In addition, each DMX chain had a proper terminator in the final fixture or control box. By using buffered outputs, corruption on one output does not affect the others.

John
