    Good LED Spot Movers

    Hey gang! I was asked to propose 6 moving lights for our upcoming wishlist. What would be a moving light that you'd recommend. I'll go through the technical information off the brand and model alone. We had Chauvet intimidators in one day but they didn't pack a strong enough punch with their 70...

    Couple of minor issues: Ion magic sheets

    It's because running the macro a second time would cause syntax error otherwise. But after joining the Facebook eos family group it seems not entirely impossible but it's much easier to manually clear the command line. It wasn't a critical thing just thought it would be nice to clear the command...

    Couple of minor issues: Ion magic sheets

    Well THANK YOU SO MUCH. I've been hitting that brick wall intentionally trying to figure out why it wouldn't work. So in knowing the label part is the issue I'll just suck it up and clear the command line myself(I'm just too lazy lol). But honestly thank you. I've only really gotten into macros...

    Couple of minor issues: Ion magic sheets

    Good afternoon(or whatever the time is where you are) everyone!I'm currently working with an ETC Ion(old faithful lol) and I've tried making some programming Buttons on a Magic Sheet to speed up the keystroke process. Essentially I'll use a example. There's a macro button in the magic sheet...

    Cyc light pixels acting up

    Hey so we're working on a fairly large production for the venue we're in. We've got a bunch of cyc light bars. One of them has two pixels that flicker different colours randomly(no consistency). There hasn't been any actual pixel mapping just whole fixture control. What would cause this is...

    Looking for opinions on MLs

    The closest dealer I have is four and a half hours away and they need notice to order most stuff in. I'm trying to get around some other technician recommendations to do research based on those. Otherwise there's just too many to start reading all the manuals for specs(though I have over 30...

    Looking for opinions on MLs

    I'm looking to gather opinions on some moving lights. Starting the transition at the theatre I work we have had 8 ETC Lustr Series 2 fixtures. My buddy brought in two intimidator spot 260x movers and a few X-calibur just to get used to playing around with them. Going forward would be obtaining...

    Transferring Etc files

    I was unaware that ETC had a newer app. I appreciate you for letting me know as I'll be sure to look into it tomorrow(I'm still new to all the lighting and more than anything I just love learning about this). Also I did happen to get some insight from the Neo Facebook Community. For anybody...

    Transferring Etc files

    Is there a way to take etc files off an ion classic and make them readable on the Neo?My main method of transfer would be using a USB flash drive. I went in maintainance on the ion and transfered the show file through file manager and clicked 'copy to here'. Upon inserting the USB drive into...

    Your go-tos

    What are the automatic basics that you build when creating a new show file. I'm relatively new and I've been going through manuals both digital and physical, listening to and watching YouTube and other instructional videos. While it's nice to know what everything a console can do, I'm curious to...

I'll try to stick around lunch or after work tomorrow and get in contact with Strand. I have a customer support ticket ongoing with signify...
