Hello all,
I also agree with everyone regarding cheap fixtures not being fully DMX compliant, but as Fokko mentioned, many professional desks are then also not DMX compliant!

Actually this is not correct; According to the standard, a controller (desk) can freely choose the speed of DMX within the USITT 1990 specifications, but..

A receiver (fixture, dimmer) -must- be able to handle any speed within these specifications. So formally the fixtures are NOT complying to the DMX-512 USITT 1990 standard, but the desks are!
