2 Universes/2 Boxes with wing DMX Console Input

Post by Pink LD »

Support,
I have never noticed this before but the Box running my second universe is the box I have to use for my wing console input. Is this right? I tried switching my wing console input to the Box running the first universe and though the light in front of the first universe box shows a DMX input I can not control any patched fixtures in my first universe. I am curious, does this sound correct to you Support?

This sounds correct.
We just checked the source code, and it effectively considers only the dmx input from the "last" universe.

I assumed that to be so based on what I was experiencing but the last time I ran multiple universes was 6 months ago in a bit of a panic so I just kept plugging in cables until.it all worked. Tonight I just actually noticed what it was doing and at first made no sense to me at all. Ok, thanks for the info.

We apologize for this.
We should place a note about this problem, in the manual.
