    Headset mic recommendations welcomed

    I have several Microphone madness mics and I like them, they just do not seem to be holding up as well as I would like them to. I just ordered an OSP-06 and an OSP-09 and used them on the last show I supported and so far I like them the best of all the elements I have had so far. Mind you I...

    VGA over Ethernet

    Ummm, wow best of luck with those. I have $500 a box units for cat5 interfacing and I have issues with them at times. You are likely to have major skew issues unless you run skew free cable, even then I would be surprised if they work for that kind of distance.

    Dual-Port HDMI over Cat5 Wall Plate?

    How far of a cable run will the wall ports be from the TV? maybe you can just run straight HDMI rather that running Cat x range extenders.

    Make a door squeak?

    Just to add a note to this for future readers. I used Mpowers #2 trick above. cotton string doped with rosin, over a hardwood handrail close mic'd with a C-clamp for counter weight. Worked like a charm, but needed to be re-rosined before each show. Even had everyone confused as to how the...

    Free Video Cueing?

    Multiplay has a function to playback video files, I have never ran it in a show, but have played with it a bit, it will support addressing a second screen with the first staying as a control surface.

    Video switcher emulator for PC?

    Multiplay has the capability to handle video, I do not know if it can handle .mov format as I do not have one handy to test it with. I usually only use it for audio, but the video function seems to allow you to "take over" a specific monitor.

    Pesky Primordial Proxima Projector Problem

    My first question is does the lamp in the projector strike?and it's only 10-12 years old, not totally primordial. :)There is a number of issues that could be causing a fault in the start-up protocol.

    Sound Cue System Alternative

    I taught a 11 year old to use the basic functions of Multiplay in about 10 minutes. If you can figure out Itunes, you can work out Multiplay. And you don't have the issue of automatically running into the next cue.

    S4 Jr Gobo rotators

    Laptop sound noise

    I think part of this is the manufacturers do not pay huge attention to these types of issues, they get parts from various suppliers and pack them based on the cheapest price. I have 2 power supplies that came packed in 2 new Dell D630 laptops back then they were new. Here are the specs...
