Hey guys,
I recently took over as ME in my theater. We currently have four CD80 racks and an ION.
I have requested the purchase of some D60 Vivids to replace our 2K Fresnels in our Rep Plot. The problem I have come across is powering them as we do not have enough wall power to do this.
I know the best option is the Johnson Systems relay modules, but that would require us to also replace our processors and we simply do not have the money to do that right now and there is also nothing wrong with them.
I found out this week that the previous ME had modified two of our Non-Dim modules (by bypassing the choke) to power our Colorforce II’s. I personally do not feel comfortable doing this. So I am wondering if there is a better way to power the D60s? Are there any other relay modules out there that are compatible with CD80 racks that I can use without replacing our processors? Is it safe to use the few Non-Dim modules we have, with this being a permanent/long term hang? If so are there any vendors out there that still sell Non-Dims for CD80s?
Any help, thoughts and opinions are very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Angie
