Hi all. I am a newbie here but have read a great number of threads in the past year or so before finally pulling the trigger and joining. Our church has been given a generous gift in order to upgrade our visuals and add more flexibility to the platform.
We currently have an ETC Express 48/96 that serves us very well. We have 80 or so channel of conventional dimming in the building. We have recently added a number (18 Chauvet ColorDash Pars and 8 ColorKey (36 1W) Pars) of LED lights to augment mostly ellipsoidals. We are looking to add some intelligent and moving stuff to the mix and have been told that the Express is just not the board for this.
We initially looked at the ETC ION 1000 + Fader Wing which will no doubt do the job but is very expensive and maybe more board than we need. We want to make sure we are getting the most bang for the buck.
We have had a few suggestions from local supply houses that include the Jands Vista software and the Lepracon LPC. One of our members also has some experience with the Elation CompuLive stuff.
Searches of this site turn up plenty of hits on the Jands stuff and even a few on the Compulive but nothing on the LPC board.
Any advice or info you can give would be very helpful. Budget would like to keep this in the $10K range or less. If less, we can really focus on more/better MLs.
Thanks in advance.
