Monitor Profile intermittent on S6
 
My Dadman Monitor Profile is intermittent on both my S6 systems. Sometimes it will show up , get locked to the surface and then when Pro Tools is launched it disappears. Other times it will not show up at all. This was solid when I had 18.3 software installed.


My 2 set ups are:
PTUlt. 19.6
S6 19.5.1.44
WS Control 19.5.1.44
Dadman 5.3.1.10
Sys #2
PTUlt. 19.6
S6 19.7.0.101
WS Control 19.7.0.101
Dadman 5.3.1.10


Both systems have the same issue. They also have MTRX box as the main monitor box.


Thanks,
Buddy

Current version of DADman is 5.3.4.3
(don't know if this will solve your issue but I noticed that)

Noticed the same issue as @Budster. We're on 5.1.1.2, time to update!?

Re: Monitor Profile intermittent on S6
 
i have had this same issue on virtually every version of S6 and DADman. sometimes the DADman monitor profile fully loads, sometimes it only partially loads, like the lower part of the MTM screen populates, but the row of monitor sources at the top does not. sometimes all of the monitor sources populate but i cannot tap/select certain ones. sometimes the MTM fully populates but the cut/dim switches do not work.

the troubleshooting steps are typically these:
1. restart DADman
2. restart WSControl
3. restart MTM
4. on the MTM /Settings/Workstations/ disconnect then reconnect the workstation

sometimes an entire S6/Mac restart is the best option (including the S6 ethernet switch).

i am running the current versions of everything:
S6 19.9.1
DADman 5.3.4 build 3
DAD AX32 with current firmware 2.3.0.1
Pro Tool Ultimate 2019.6

It would be great to source some data on these issues so we can help resolve them. Assuming you are running current DADman software and relatively current S6 and Pro Tools:

A few questions:

(1) Multiple WS’s on S6 system?
(2) Is DADman on the same subnet as EUCON?
(3) Auto-Launch of DADman + profile on boot?
(4) Multiple MTRX or AX32 units in profile?
(5) Any MOM units attached to profile?


thanks,


Jeff

Jeff,

i am not the OP here, so i don't mean to hijack this thread, but i will answer your questions, and hopefully the OP (and others) will as well to get a better idea of the problem.

1. only 1 WS connected to the S6 (Mac Pro 10.14.6 / Pro Tools Ultimate 2019.6).
2. yes. all units set to external DHCP getting IPs from a Cisco RV325 router (which is running the latest firmware 1.4.2.22).
3. yes. DADman and WSControl set to auto-launch. DADman set to auto-load the default .dms and .dmsprof files.
4. only 1 single DAD AX32 (the older pre-MTRX unit with DigiLink).
5. no MOMs. no SPQ cards.

also note that as indicated this problem is intermittent. once everything connects the system works and is stable.

thanks

I did have the newest Dadman installed, but I rolled it back once the monitoring issues started. No improvement either way.


1PT system on S6
Dadman on same subnet
Autolaunch - yes - profile on boot yes
Just 1 MTRX unit - Note this unit may need firmware updated to the latest but I was hessitant because of the issues.
No Mom's

I have done the same troubleshooting methods on my S6 systems as Devin.

Re: Monitor Profile intermittent on S6
 
Greetings,

It is highly recommended to update all of the following for MTRX or AX32:

MainBoard Firmware: 2.3.0.1
Dante Firmware: 1.0.2.1
DADman: 5.3.4 build 3

Feel free to message me or email me directly if you want to discuss your specific monitor profile or update procedures.

best,


Jeff

Jeff,

i am already current on all software/firmware. i do not have the Dante (Brooklyn II) card so that firmware update is not part of the equation for me.

thanks
