To fix or at least reduce the fleet angle the winch should be moved closer to the wall. This would also reduce the leverage on the wall bracket fixtures connecting it to the wall. If when the cable is wound on the drum with the pendent at full height the damaged cable is as least 3 full turns on...

Maybe the question is outdated however the knowledge of how you get to the answer is not. While we have a changing world in terms of equipment the calculation process is still valid. Yes a better example could be used but the context of the question still remains.

Yes D would work. I read it as the least amount of inventory (physical items that we have to move and not outlets) to make it happen. Will our answers get the rig up and running? Of course it will. As always there are many way ways to skin a rabbit but the end result is it is skun.

I concur with your calculations too. It is always good to know how to calculate things like this in our world. I have a trainee at a venue that when asked if I can run all 12 fixtures off 1 10a 240v said "we always do". I then asked how do you know that you can? "We don't have time to work it...

It looks to be Blizzard Lighting Pocket Pulsar from another forum.

This looks like it is not a moving head so should be an easy one to make. you will have to home the DMX 1 value at 192 or above, 2 at 0 or 25 (will need to test) , 3 at 0, 4 at 0, 5 at 0, 6 at 255, 7 at 255, 8 at 255, 9 at 0 you will need to assign the parameter type for each DMX channel. 6, 7...

Thanks for the tip. I have been watching some videos and am just getting to MAtricks. it seems to be what I was looking for.

Hi All in lighting land. Let me start by saying I am usually working with ETC consoles but have decided it is time to learn about some others so if I working in a venue that has a different console I am not so far behind the eight ball. I loaded GrandMA3 on PC to my Macbook and have an external...

Software version on the ion? After 3.1 I think net2 is no longer an option. Regards Geoff

I have found that touring companies that are touring a lighting package are using universes starting over 4 so from 5 up. Our house uses universe 1-4 so any other patching they need to do in 5 and above. They connect to our switch and then patch in our FOH andd overhead rig as required. We tend...

Agree with Ben. A full inspection and investigation into why this happened. You were lucky to get away with minor injuries. Regards Geoff

I found my way in to the industry at the age of 50 (about 5 years ago) and have learnt lots. As for selective recording, it is what I do lots of. I don't use many subs for programming but i use it in creating pallets. That way I only get what I want. If you do use subs to program and you have...

A question for you on the fluid. You link to low fog quick dissipating fluid but the smoke machine linked to does not list that fluid as compatible. It lists a Pro-fog fast dissipating so is this the fluid? Regards Geoff

For us in Australia definitions are made for fall arrest and fall prevention. Fall Arrest is where someone can fall a distance greater than 600mm (2ft) and if you are using this you need to have a rescue plan in place while doing the work. Fall Prevention is where someone can fall less than...

Hi and welcome. According to the manual it needs to have the first address needs to be @192-255 which is about 85% for the fixture to be in DMX mode. Then the 2nd chan is pattern at various levels. The other channels relate to rotation and zoom. I am not too familiar with Chansys but I think...
