Thats exactly what it was. The EOS and RVI were initially both user one. I went into desk settings and changed the RVI from user one to user 2.

After combing the manual and other forums I found my answer. Thanks!

Hey guys, We are in the middle of Tech and our stage manager wants her R.V.I. screen independent from the EOS lighting console we have. Right now, our EOS has 2 monitors, one for our cue list and one for our live table. Our stage manager wants to see the sub master page for our cue lights...

Hello all, I am supposed to write a paper on any effect from a show and I have picked the Defying Gravity Effect when Elphaba flies up. Does anyone know how this is done exactly? Or has ideas on it? I'm just looking for some research points, I'll be breaking down Youtube videos later as...

I spent some time looking at the ETC website and I was looking around at these touring racks. I'm in the position where I'm looking and no where near buying but I was wondering some stuff that may seem elementary to people who do touring shows so if you wouldn't mind me asking.. How do they...

Our high school just finished a show where we used stone. We took inch thick insulation boards drew out a mock brick pattern on it with a sharpie. then used old spray paint and sprayed on those lines. the spray paint "eats away" at the foam leaving a nice texture. We then made the grooves deeper...

What I do that really helps is spend 10-15 min training with them before or after rehearsal. I do it before rehearsal while the actors are getting ready. Some simple things are just having a few people on stage walking around, jumping and doing zig zag patterns so they can learn to anticipate...

It seems like you have very little to work with and a small budget. even so, you can still do a lot. with what you have you can do 2 washs. a hot and a cold. amber (gold) as your hot and your blues for your cold. when aiming those lights you want to make sure that they are all even and you...

Our high school is doing a production this weekend and this is the first time that I will not be running the board due to I have to train new people. So instead of running the show I have taken over assistant tech director. I'm in a room 10 feet away from our Ion console and I was wondering if...

I am heading into my senior year at my high school and my TD said its time to get someone to train so they can rock the board when im out of here. my "newb" is new to the lighting career as she has worked on sound before and took it up amazingly. i finally convinced her that lighting is...

So our high school just bought an ETC Ion. and i have looked at the mini-site as well as the manual and even downloaded the offline version for my computer. anyone have tips, pointers, do's and don'ts, that will help me out? i have worked on the ETC Express so i know a lot already...

In our middle school they just got a whole new auditorium with those types of shells put in the flys. When the Buffalo Philharmonic came and played, a few of our tech guys along with our TD went over to try and light the stage because no one over there knows how to run the system or has any...

Light people its break a bulb Sound people its break a cone and for stage break a prop/set piece etc. you can get creative And we always play at least one song over the radio before the show. Doesn't matter which one. Just make sure its good.

Im intrigued...Inhibitive submaster... would you care to explain that further? I haven't gotten to that point in programming yet.
