This summarizes the issue with B&H, you can tell what they acquire through 3rd party sources by looking at the clues on the product pages. IF you see SPECIAL ORDER or NOT RETURNABLE OR CANCELABLE you should really think if it's worth the hassle in case there is a mistake or issue with the...

There are a few reasons to turn off your LED. OFF- No light comes out but the fixture is still awake with power going to it. A minute bit of power is being used. OFF OFF - Hard Power to the light has been turned off. No wattage be used.Reason 1. It is helpful to turn OFF OFF your LED...

@davidleejr - You have a few things to think about. It sounds like you have realistic expectations and understand that it won't be perfect when mixing the two types of fixtures . Overall it sounds like this will be successful in most of your scenarios.Let's break it down. The VIVID-Rs use...

@flamingo - Agree with everyone that @almorton said. Your best option is to run everything on 2.9.2. It's a very stable and usable software version that will continue to be supported with library and fixture updates so newer gear can work on it.Your other option is to get a nomad dongle, in...

@DonAllen - I'm sorry no one has reached back out to you about your ColorSource profile for the eProfileHP. I've looked into this and found a few things that might explain what happened. I see your request in the ETC forums. However the link you provided to the fixture no longer works. That...

@Ravenbar - If the videos aren't working for you, you could always try some of the in person classes so you could ask a real person about the difference in syntax changes. Many of the ETC offices are starting back up their in person Eos/Ion classes. https://www.etcconnect.com/Training/Also...

Most of that Lighting is soft panel lights or arena lighting for correct light levels for camera. There are absolutely truss and movers in the background. But if you are an ice skater in competition guess what you don’t want a hard edged spot moving light following you, doing ballyhoos or...

I would highly suggest listening to this podcast episode about the early days of moving lights.https://www.audible.com/pd/Episode-33-Tom-Littrell-ETC-ShowcoVari-Lite-Lighting-History-Podcast/B08W4KLTYZ

This is always tough. I am an LD and also always shoot my own shows. There are a variety of things that could be making everything look muddy. Some of them may be the camera settings. There is no "LED" dummy mode on many DSLRs. You get Sunlight, Interior, Florescent, Cloudy and...

As others have said. This should have nothing to do with the S4WRD retrofit for the Source4. That is just the light engine. It is entirely based on the lens tube. All ETC lens tubes have been 6.25"x6.25" for forever. See below.It sounds like your lens tube is likely not from ETC and had a...

@Stagemanager01 - This sounds like a call into ETC would be the best way to get this resolved. 24/7/365 support at 1-(800)688-4116

Like Ship said. I would be worried about the tungsten halogen cycle and having the tungsten from the filament have a lot of time to settle on the glass evelop. Running your lights at Full for an hour once a week is very important as it helps restart the proper tungsten-halogen cycle of...

Is it an Element or Element 2?There is a shortcut on Element 2 where if you press the power button it runs a built in macro to shutdown. But we don't want to shut it down right awa, so you have to confirm (the picture you posted). In fact if you hit the power button a third time it confirms...

Robert see the other note below by another user as well.But what software version and what console model are you on?It sounds like you are either using the ML controls in the top left that does require you to scroll left/right. However the newer software there was a wrap feature added. If...
