Generator Playback jumpiness
Posted: 21 April 2025, 17:38
Sometimes when generator files are played back, they will "hesitate" for moments at very random times. I'm doing a lot of programming right now and I've noticed it a few times. Not neceesarily often but definitely noticeable on movers that are doing circles and just arbitrarily freeze and then rapidly jump to catch up to their intended pan/tilt position on where playback is in the generator.
I don't necessarily assume that it's the software or the dongle but I'm trying to determine what would cause this and how I can prevent it?
I'm running the dongle into a Chauvet iso 6 splitter and then out to a bunch of fixtures. All DMX cable and no boosters or amplifiers.
Any thoughts as to what could cause this? Is DMX dropping in the chain for a bit? Could it be something in the laptop?
Macbook Air M2 running latest non-native version. Dongle is 1024 directly connected to USB C port.
Thank you.
