Catalyst freezes on Mac Mini

[Gian]

Richard,... i just spoke with Samuel, he is a brazilian guy here.
What he did found, is with a HES CIB (old guys) USB connected directly on the MacMini, from time to time, MacMini freezes.
He also figure out, with a ArtNet device interface, that problem did not happened again.
Any clues if that happens before. I particulary still have 2 Cats with CIBs and no problem so far. Sometimes on the opening of the software does not read the CIB, but a computer restart solves and goes fine from there.
So any clues on CIBs and Macminis or so ???

not a mac mini problem- and its doesnt sound like a computer 'freeze' but dmx not working.

so suggest you try something really really simple like fading a white square in and out - and watch what happens on dmx input in catalyst- watch for a long time- 10 minutes - or as long as your problem reoccurs.

the CIB doesnt need a computer restart - just unplug and replug- there arent any drivers for it- see what happens-
CIB's are more likely to have connector problems than driver problems- as there arent any drivers
