We just purchased some new Chauvet dmx lights. 3 Colordash Par's and 11 Minwashes but some of them are flickering and are uncontrollable. I have Accu dmx cables with cable runs over 150 ft. Yes I did end the last light with a dmx terminator.

Let me exlplain how I have them setup. I have MyDmx software. We have a light truss in front of the stage with 3 of the Colordash Par's on them and 2 Minwashes. We have 9 Minwashes across the back floor of the stage. From the soundbooth to the front truss stage lights I believe I have a 100 ft. cable. From the truss to the back floor of the stage I have a 50 ft. cable. The back stage floor lights are working it's the lights I have on the truss in front of the stage that are giving me issues. It also seems that even though I remove the DMX terminator from the last fixture the stage floor lights are still all working and again it's just the truss lights that are acting eratic.

Any ideas?

Ya. You prpbably need a opto branch 4 dmx splitter. The signal that comes our of the single is not as powerful as a 120v current you would get from a reg. Console. So think about getting one ofvthose. Of sjouke me listed on the elation site under products and dmx solutions.
