    There is a certain level of proficiency that is assumed on a big show like that. Proficiency meaning - if the guy asks you to put a scoobie snack in front of your light you might have to ask clarification once. But not twice.The spot opts there always been solid - and it is noticed all up...

    Design How do they do this?

    How to recreate these lighting effects?

    The first pic is just a Cyc. It's a very smooth transition from Blue to Amber - so you are probably looking at an LED unit - like a color blaze. If your color needs are fairly limited then a 3 color cyc with a Blue, Magenta and Amber could get you very close. The cloudy streaks could be...

    setting single colors to a submasters on Ion

    There are 2 ways to calculate a color - 1 is Hue and Saturation. HS is an artificial construct based on a color wheel. Hue takes you around the circle and saturation goes from the center (0) to the edge (full).The other way is to directly control the specific color channels...

    Ion Tap Sync

    If you have the track and can calculate the BPM :Set all your steps to 1 secTake you BPM and do the following (BPM/60)*100 = that will give you a rate. So if you drop your effect into a sub or whatever - apply that rate and you'll be synced up.

    Ion/EOS Shortcut?

    The [Select Active] button is what you are looking for.I can't remember if the ION has a hard key or if the hard key is Labeled Select Last - if it is Shift+Select Last will paint the softkeys with the options you are looking for.- beat me to it :-)

    setting single colors to a submasters on Ion

    If it scrolls through a lot of colors you are probably in Hue/Saturation mode - which can be annoying in this kind of situation. If you [Sub][Sub] # {Edit} : look at the color attributes of your fixtures. If the Hue/saturation values are highlighted while the RBG component is grayed out - give...

    Help creating chase effect on etc express board

    This could be a couple things - but if the timing of the IN/Dwell/Out is longer than the step time you can get into a situation where the lights seem to just turn on. With a 2 step chase it's a easy situation to get into. turn the step time to 1 and the in/dwell/out to 0/1/0 and that will...

    Control/Dimming iRFR connection issue

    First a disclaimer - I'm not a technical guy. I do a bit of EOS programming though....None of this has anything to do with cisco/linksys versus apple. So if we can let's put all that baggage aside.Currently in an EOS environment there can SOMETIMES be issues using certain routers. I've...
