thanks. Chris...Got everything to work as needed....at least well enough for the event yesterday.BUT... still not quite what I'd like to be able to do. So, selected all 4 fixtures...set all to whatever RGB colour...then controlled intensity manually...fade up...fade down.I think what we...

lol...it's okay to knock me... I can take it.So...are we talking 3 channel RGB or 7 channel?I know that the 7th channel is the dimmer intensity.SO...program FIXTURE 1...whatever color...repeat for the other 3 fixtures...THEN...patch the 7th channel for each fixture to a fader say 1 to...

So..we have an OBEY 40 controller...which I know can't do fades between scenes..which would help.The setup is 4 slimpar56s...used as stage backwash. All we want to do is manually,simultaneously, bring them up..and down.. as needed.Also the hope was to program to 4 different colors...with 4...

Hi all...a sort of newbie...but I hope a simple question.I'd like to manually set my chauvet par 56s...each to it's own color.Can I dim all 4 simultaneously...they'd be linked via ac only...using a dimmer?Now I'm aware of dimmers...and switch packs..and I think that's the key thing to...

thanks...great answer..but a follow up question..A 4 channel pack is rated at, as an example, 10 amp per channel but 20 amp overall.How so?...shouldn't it be rated for 40 amps -- 10 x 4??I admit ignorance upfront...so is it a question of safety or a question of electrical logic, so to...

hi all...total newbie here again...Here's the deal...we've got a dimmer pack (have a DMX 512 controller to run it...so all good)The dimmer pack is rated at 5A per channel (it's a 4 channel) and 15A total...SO...we'd like to run 2 source 4 750s on that pack.If I'm doing my math right one...

Re: source 4 question from a total newbie...Joshua...thanks...thought so. We now have another 19 degree Source 4 coming that should be rated to 750w...at least now I'll know what to look for.allan

source 4 question from a total newbie...hi all..first post here...SO...We've started to use Source 4s and noted a difference between the 2 we have:One has 4 holes and one has only 2 holes (although there is a phillips screw in place that if removed would open up another hole, although on...
