I've read here that the Chauvet ColorStrip isn't compatible with CompuLive, at least not in RGB mode where you will get flicker, believed to be due to clocking or refresh timing; unfortuneately I didn't see this until after I had bought it
but recently I noticed a problem with my Scorpion Scans LG-60(x2) and LRG-55; I accidentally set the dip switches to Master-mode instead of DMX-mode and was amazed at the effects it could do, rotating shapes, nice thick/wide lines for the "liquid-sky" effect, but I cannot make any of these happen from CompuLive
so I drug out my Chauvet TFX-24C Stage Designer and hooked one LG-60 to it and voila, I could get all of the stuff from Master-mode in DMX-mode; the LG-60 connected to CompuLive was scanning noticably slower and hence the effects looked terrible...so it would appear that the LG-60 is deriving scan timing from the DMX clock and CompuLive seems to be slower than the TFX-24C
the ColorStrip also worked without issue with the TFX-24C
is there ever hope of my lights/lasers working with CompuLive??? or am I just hoping for something that will never be...
