I am trying to control some Chauvet Omega Is from the lanbox. I have been able to successfully control 1 of them but the second one in the chain looses DMX signal.

I am successfully running 2 Chauvet Mini Legend Washs and 4 dimmer packs from the lanbox so I am pretty sure it is the Omegas that are having the problem. I saw a thread a few weeks ago from someone who was having trouble with Chauvet equipment. I am also having trouble with DMX-24 relay packs that are after the Omegas in the dmx chain.

Any Ideas?

Yep, Chauvet is "famous" for not being capable to handle full size/speed DMX-512 USITT 1990 signals. To say it simple, several Chauvet devices are not complying to the standard, but it's working only with cheap/few channels (low speed) desks.


Their official excuse: "We do our best to improve, but this are very cheap devices.."

The LanBox-LCM is our "slowest" DMX controller, on which Chauvet products in general works, but nothing is sure until their products fully comply with the standard.
