My church’s current setup=a Desktop PC/Tower with Vista (the “Main” control) and a laptop as an auxiliary “Mobile” console. The intention of the mobile console is to ease setup when working on stage setup (instead of running 100’ back to the stationary desktop console to toggle on/off a light, the mobile laptop can be used)
When effects are applied to a set of light fixtures, the fixtures will flicker. When the laptop is shut off and the same effect is applied to the light fixtures, there’s no flickering.
Anybody know a way to end the flickering besides disconnecting the laptop? In the meantime we can go to only using the laptop for working sessions and never during an actual event (It means the lighting operator is tied down to the desktop PC’s location. It’s not the end of the world to do that.)
