Hi
My high school is currently looking to
purchase a new light board. We use 5 pin
DMX 512 for control. We have about 100
conventional lights as well as six
gel scrollers which use 3
DMX channels each. We don't have any moving lights and it is unlikely that we will be getting any in the near future. Currently we use Horizon by
Rosco for all our shows. We like the simple
point and click interface used. I would like to find a board that has an interface similar to this so that I don't have to type every
cue into a number pad. Also I would like to be able to name each
cue instead it just being
identified by a number. As well we have a 48
channel two scene
preset board. We usually use this for contracts and simple events. i would like a board that can do both of these things. So it needs to have a
cue stack and sub masters for simple events. I was looking at the
Leprecon LPX-24 but I don't think this is what we want. Currently I started looking at the
Strand basic
palette or classic
palette. However the basic
palette says it only has 100 channels which would not be enough. I was also looking at the
ETC ION but this doesn't have submasters. I would like to stay under about 6000 but this is stretchable.
Thanks
