LOL. Truth. At risk of lighting up our collective OCD, I give you the UNcropped shot...*** TRIGGER WARNING ***

Sorry, I thought it was the most obvious one based on what you could see in the picture: nothing plugged into the input port, therefore no signal to the splitter.

Update: All's well that ends well. Found the issue.Much texting back and forth, but as @cbrandt noted--it's all about the pictures...Love me the simple fix. Now I think I'll go and talk someone through how to tie a tie over the phone...Break legs Nehal!

@TimMc Profile says Orlando. If anybody in Boothland has the time and interest and is closer than me here in Toronto...

Quick correction to the patch. I didn't see the second picture you posted. It looks like your IQs have been patched to 2/1, 2/3, and 2/5. So assuming you want to start at fader 31, and I'll assume that dimmer 4 and 19 (along with one more for the third light that I just can't see) are your...

IQ mirrors come in two styles, depending on the age of the unit. It will either have a digital display on the unit which will allow you to actually see the number of the address, or a series of small dials and switches that you have to turn or switch with a small flat screwdriver. Below is the...

IQ mirrors, depending on you set them up, can be controlled by 2 or 4 control channels. In simple 8 bit resolution, it takes two control channels: one for pan, one for tilt. In 16 bit resolution, it takes four control channels: one for course pan, one for fine pan, one for course tilt, one for...

All good my friend. I'll go out on a limb and say that everybody here on Control Booth has been where you are. OK, so let's go through some quick basics. DMX is the language that your lighting board "speaks" to tell things what to do. It does this in groups of 512 control channels called...

OK so if NONE of them are moving, here's what you check next:First, make sure that the power supply is getting power (that black box that the DMX cable from the second universe of the Express is running to). If it's not on (you should see a lit LED on it), then nothing downstream of that is...

Your patch is a little messed up. I think your patch should probably look like:Ch 31 @ 4 Ch 32 @ 515 Ch 33 @ 516This one is fine, and I assume this is the only IQ that's working properly for you.Ch 34 @ 19 (right now you have both the intensity AND pan on a single fader) Ch 35 @ 517 Ch...

Two 50deg would cover 50' of wall with 57 fc.Here's an ETC app you might find useful as you are playing with scenarios.

This is without a doubt the easiest way.

"X" is the shortcut key on the Nomad for that. (Just hunting for that shortcut key today...)

I don't have my Element in front of me, but on my Nomad, if you hit the "About" button, then "setup" in the menu, it will show you your software version and Fixture Library version (among other things).

Could you use a monitor / display pressed directly behind the glass instead of bothering with a Pepper's Ghost assembly? So long as the monitor frame is larger than the dimensions of your TV screen, you won't see the monitor, you will have much less light drop-off, and you won't have to worry...
