    Teaching Theater Hierarchy

    In my experience, the TD is responsible for taking the scenic design and making it happen. This means creating the technical drawings that tell the master carpenter and his/her team how to build the set. as for a flowchart, I have one that does a great job of explaining it, but I cant find it. I...

    Opti Splitter

    I have used the elation Optobranch 4 with no problem. The best part about it, is that you can actually take 8 splits out of it and not just 4 as it would seem. It is a high quality product for a great price. Save your budget for more fixtures rather than spending a boat load on the splitter.

    DMX over Cat5

    would you recommend building my own adapter? also the opti splitter would just be for convenience of distributing the dmx signal right? we own a elation optobranch 8 and I would like to not have to replace it with one with a cat5 feed.

    Automated Fixtures VL 2500 Spot Issue

    I have posted on here before about our wonderful pair of MLs. When we first purchased these units 2 years ago, we had an issue where one unit would in essence "crash" (like a computer). We thought we fixed this problem by replacing the power supply, but during our fall show the same unit again...

    Control Booth Options?

    Many of the high schools in my area have a similar design to your theater. A main section with the entrance doors in the center, the booth built out above the entrance and two mezzanine levels to either side of the entrance/ booth. We did two different solutions. One, we put the tech tables...
