I'm glad to hear that everything is working! Something still isn't sitting right with me though. While I do terminate my DMX runs, I've never had a problem that was definitively solved with a terminator, particularly on cable runs as short as yours. Occasional glitches - maybe. A repeatable, predictable problem - no. If I were you, I'd still step through the entire system one cable/fixture at a time and see if you can narrow things down to a suspect item. It's quite possible that there's a bad solder joint somewhere in all this that is causing some signal distortion. A weak console signal would also amplify this problem. Good luck!
