The Lighting Controller

Apparently you want to avoid the Chinese decoders. I just bought these and they passed the first round of testing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Q1N1N ... ref=plSrch

This decoder does work with the dmx512plus. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Q1N1N ... ref=plSrch

I have emailed a lot of vendors to ask what their interframe rate is on their decoders. A few have said that they do not accept 2 ms interframe rate. Unfortunately most tell me that they don't know and I would have to adjust my PC controller or buy one to test it.

So what is the signal packet speed for the 512 and 512plus? Is it 2ms?

After testing I dont think its a MAC issue.

The Xfactor works fine and the dmx 512 and the dmx 512 plus do not work with the 30 channel decoder. I finally found out why when I found this post: (The decoder is not compatible with every valid DMX. The root cause: device rejects DMX packets with 2 ms interframe time (delay between channels) For ...

I currently have the dmx 512plus. Is there any reason why the Xfactor works but the 512plus does not? I would hate to have to use a controller that is no longer supported. Do you know of any decoders that have been proven to work with the 512plus?

I have purchased several rolls of RGB SMD5050 tape for installation. I was wondering what specifications are required for dmx decoders to work on a dmx 512 plus?

I have a friend with an Xfactor box I'm about to test to see if it's an issue with the 512plus.
