I'm in Ocean Co - just South of Toms River.Update, in case someone else finds this thread years from now and has the same issue -The trick suggested above worked. I set DMX Port 1 to start at channel 1, DMX Port 2 to start at Channel 513. I have the fixtures set at DMX starting channel...

I'm assuming you mean 2x6 structural lumber? I sure as heck wouldn't get on it if you built it out of 1x6's with 12 other guys!!! 12 guys x 180 lbs each = 2160 lbs. Plus instruments. When you screw that 3/4" ply down on the 1x6, its going to split. I'm really hoping you meant 2x6!!!

Very detailed post, thanks!! Using the first 50 channels as desk channels will definitely work. Thanks for the work and the image. This is definitely going to be saved and used if needed. I'm going to try Xander's approach first (just because I'm lazy and it may be a little bit easier)...

It is indeed a stupid board. So I assume that Port 2, starting at channel 513, would essentially be Universe 2, Channel 001?? The fixtures don't populate addresses above 512. I may have tried this, don't remember. Its definitely on the list to try again tomorrow however! If the two...

Tim, In theory, this is how I ASSUMED that this would work. I did it EXACTLY as you described. For hours. Using every possible scenario. But it does not work that way. Yes, I have all of the equipment that you described. But it seems that the board does NOT send a totally...

Ah yes. I have patched things in the past to make my life easier. I wasn't thinking of the moving lights quite the same way as you described. (Channel 10 in the string for the fixture is the color wheel, in our example that would easily be patched together with the other color wheels on the...

Indeed. Renting the moving lights is the key. We're talking $450 or so for a week for 3 of these lights. I didn't check into the rental price for an ETC or something similar. There's also a learning curve that I mentioned in another post. I'm pretty handy at consoles - but at my school...

Tim,Thanks for the condolences. You're the 2nd person in 2 weeks that has said "oh.....my condolences" when I told them I was the unfortunate owner of a Lehigh!! It is indeed a Millennium ML. Its got a moving light patch. I've patched and unpatched a scroller and a little American DJ...

Thanks for the help TechieX. I was afraid that I only had 125 channels at my disposal. I didn't want to believe it, but thats the only answer I could think of as well. If I can't figure it out any further or no one else has any info, I'm going to call Lehigh on Monday. You are correct...

Hi Everyone,I know there are a few other posts on moving lights, but my particular question wasn't covered in a previous post. I'm hoping you guys can help me out:I teach High School theatre and do some tech theatre work on the side. Been a tech guy since I was a kid, over 20 years...
