Movers and/or LEDs going into 'disco mode' is a setup issue. Almost all fixtures and dimmers will hold last command if signal is lost. Otherwise, you are using less professional gear.
Right, most 'pro' gear will hold it's last command. I've had instances where I've had to reboot consoles during shows too, and all the gear I've used was fine with it. I've also had instances with 'pro' level gear glitching because of a bad DMX cable. What would they do if there's wireless DMX interference? The reason I bring up this point is that I have some cheap gear that will go into disco mode when there's no DMX signal present, and there's no way to fix this short of modifying the PC board's circuitry. I can't speak so much about the ADJ gear, but I know that a lot of low end Chauvet gear will do this, and with a UHF signal going to them... I'm thinking that cheap fixtures with cheap wireless DMX sounds like you're setting up for problems there! But then again you get what you pay for!
