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 instance - 2ms usual delay for some chip on-stock DMX Masters and popular Arduino library DMXSimple provides 2ms delay. DMX standard is not limited interframe delay. Thus 2 ms delay is allowed in terms of standard.
I've made modification of DmxSimple code (reprogram timer to achieve <1-ms interframe delay) -
So Chauvet made an adjustment on their interframe time after the Xfactor.
