I'll be there on Friday and Saturday representing NM and Quickbeam Systems.

My question for Timchrisman would be how much programming are you willing to do for your light show? My experience with many of the "DJ" style effects lights sold by companies like American DJ and Chauvet is that they have pretty well designed stand alone operations. When you get into using...

I recommended a local NM club owner to get a Compu Cue Basic from you. Just got it installed yesterday, it works great. Good pricing and prompt delivery. Thanks Bill!

Thank you all for the info. I was also informed that it may be an Osram BVV 54691. The BVT and BVV are very similar, the main differences are bulb type, lamp hours, lumen rating and color temperature, at least according to Lampline (their info may be incorrect.. one lamp is a t6 bulb type and...

I had a customer bring this lamp in today to order some replacements. He says he is using it in a Fresnel but can't figure out who manufactured it or it's model. He thought it was a BTN lamp but after looking at the size I don't think that's right as his lamp is 165mm or 6.5" and the BTN is...

I have a couple of ADJ's UVLED Bar 16 blacklights. As others have mentioned the color seems a little off compared to a traditional blacklight. I have also noticed that not as many colors react to the LEDs. I do like that I can get a dark purple with the UV LEDs that regular RGB units can't...

I have to disagree with you about the software. Jay Ashworth is correct about pretty much all DMX lighting consoles using software, but I believe you are referring more to using software on a personal computer. First off, I have been using computer lighting software for over four years...

Thank you for the recommendations. I will have to put some of those books on my shopping list. Also, I agree with porkchop, support authors, musicians, film makers and all of those whose media or information may or may not be available for "free" online by actually purchasing their products...

That's a good point, I never thought to look for a software that would be able to change the midi channels of one of my interfaces. One of the great things about midi is that it is very versatile and, if you know what you're doing, you can often find creative solutions to get around such...

I used the APC20 for over a year with Compu Show. It worked great except for one row of buttons designed for special controls in Ableton software (the software this series of midi controllers was designed specifically for, APC = Ableton Performance Controller) did not work and the one...

The Compu Cue interfaces have DMX in and can allow you to use a DMX controller as a physical interface for the Compu Show software. However, I find that the midi options work very well on this software and you can usually find a nice midi controller with faders and buttons for less than a DMX...

I am trying to understand electricity more thoroughly and I wanted to see if anyone could recommend a good site, book, or even a course to get me going in the right direction. The fact is I haven't needed to know much about electricity for my previous or current jobs The most important thing I...

The software is free, but without the interface it won't do you much good other than learning how to use the software. If I remember right, when you install the software it will start with an example show as a default. The software does have a 3d visualizer and the example show should have...

I agree that MyDMX is a very limited software in terms of "on the fly" programming. Say you have a DMX controlled fog machine, and want to be able to use it at any time, in MyDMX you would have to make a copy of every scene you want to use and edit them to have the fog machine on so that you...

If they put some wheels on it we could just drive it to the next gig.
