Hi!I'm asking whether the below wiring would produce a dimmable flo tube:[Dimmable Ballast] wired into [Non-Dim Ballast] wired into [Flo Tube]

Howdy,Can you wire a dimmable ballast for fluorescent tubes into a housing which contains a non-dimming ballast, and still dim the fixtures? I assume the answer is no, but it would save a good deal of time if I could just wire my dimming ballasts in without ripping apart the housings. These...

Howdy folks,I'm in search of vibration damping C Clamps.The scenery in this production has been tied off to a tension grid, so that when actors walk on certain platform all the IQs do a dance. I've seen this type of clamp on speakers before, and I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations...

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hello friends,There's a lot of documentation out there on how to import a patch from lightwright into consoles, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it in reverse. Can any boothers show me the way?I have the showfile open on nomad, I have tried exporting as an ascii, but I get...

Hello friends,I'll soon be heading out to design/ME in Panama for the first time. Do any boothers with experience in this region have advice? My understanding is that voltage is the same as in the states (save that edison plugs lack a ground) and I know the venue sports an Ion, which I'll...

Dearest Control Booth,I'm in tech on an EOS, and was asked if it is possible to program a follow around a cue, so that a blackout goes in time with the end of a sound Q. What I mean:Cue 1 GO (Called by SM, Follows to Q 3 in 15 seconds) Cue 2 GO (Called by SM, on an actor's movement) Cue 3...

Thanks folks!Thank you, JD, for the lamp recommendation, they seem like the way to go.

Dear Control Booth,I've a problem as old as time itself: I'm designing a car-prop, and need some help spec'ing out a battery. The prop is a car bumper bolted to a support plank and some handles. Also bolted on are two 500w Par56 cans, with edison out. The plan is to twofer the cans to a...

Hello friends,I am attempting to create a smooth fade from one color to another over 12 LED units in a static cue, and I am absolutely drawing a blank on how to do it. I learned it long ago, and I assume fan is involved, but am otherwise in the dark. Might controlbooth know?Many thanks.

All of my Direct Selects are now open to macros. One page is of links to Groups that put them consecutively, another to common functions like striking and killing my movers, programming palettes for the cyc, and preheating my altmans, another for intensities, and the final (starred into the...

It accomplishes the goal, certainly, and before I got off on this macro programmin' binge I had pretty much what you're talking about. The issue was that I wanted to be able to control Frame 1, Frame 2, Frame 3, Frame 4, Frame 1 & 3, Frame 2 & 4, and Frame 1&2&3&4 and Frame Angle 1, Frame Angle...

Sorry guys, by jankety I mean completely nonfunctional. Michael, I like the update function macro concept, I'll definitely give it a go. Thanks!

I'll bump this for a question to Michael about his excellent shutter control macro:I've programmed the whole shabang, and have added macros for +10 and -10 which link to the +% and -% hard keys, but my designer needs more minute control (so, of 5 % and 1% increments). The encoders on our Eos...
