Hello there,

Im currently doing a run of festivals, touring two of our own MA3 full suze consoles and four NPU's. All in v 2.3.2.0.

Every now and again the NPU's randomly drop out of the session then immediately rejoin. I've gone through the obvious checks (connections, cable replacement), I've pinged the NPU's from FoH with no packet loss. I've checked the IP addresses on everything and its all in the correct range.

We have two managed switches (one at FoH and the other at Dimmers) and are using two VLANS (MA-Net and sACN). The NPU's are in a 172 IP range.

I enabled IGMP snooping on the MA-Net VLAN and the issue went away for a while but its recently come back so i'm assuming it didn't fix it.

I think both the consoles have a 'normal' priority.

I cant really think of what else it might be so any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Has anyone played with VDO Sceptron XB 1000mm in MA3?

I've patched them into MA3 OnPC in Extended 25 Segment mode. I have control over the fixture as a whole (changing the whole bars intensity and colour) but I'm having trouble figuring out how to control each segment.

I can see the segments in the patch menu as [Segment #/25] but they dont have fixture ID's and I cant assign them one.

I'm not an LD so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
