Hello all, Great community here, glad to be a part of it. We have here an old Wholehog II that seems to only want to flash all of it's control surface LEDs when powered on. All of the power supply LEDs come on, the fan starts up, we even see the external keyboard lights flash, but nothing...

We're using a system called Navori, which is relatively cheap and works pretty well. It supports as many different screens as you have licenses for, and can play flash, powerpoint, videos, rss feeds, and more.

We're figuring out the projector situation still, but we would like to get the screen ordered. Does anyone know if that's something that can be rented, and if so where from? I found this: Projection screens - I. Weiss but i'm not sure they rent them. Thanks as always, Brooks

Hey everyone, I'm sure some of you have dealt with this before, so I thought i'd ask. I'm doing a show coming up where i'd like to achieve a haze effect as we're using some intelligent lighting and various effects that would look great in haze. I don't own a hazer, but I do own two fairly...

No particular setup, but I do some corporate events and things where the speaker at a podium needs to be lit. I also do some smaller productions with a mobile truss (last one was a 30 foot truss on lifts for a dance production). Right now i'm using clunky Altman 6x9's, and i'm starting to look...

Guys, thanks for your great posts. Dramatech, that's really interesting about your MD288 rack, i'm going to check on ours and make sure those rivets are still nice and tight. We have the same amount of circuits as dimmers, so I'm guessing that they haven't been moved in and out too many times...

Hey all, I'm thinking about adding a few ellipsoidals to my mobile setup, and i've got my eye on these ETC source four JR's. I like that they are smaller for transport, and also are a bit easier on the budget. What do you think? Should I just go with a regular source four instead?

They are NEC NP3150 projectors with the standard lens (whatever it comes with). Does that help anyone?

Hey all, I'm so impressed with this forum! Definitely some of the world's leading expert's here. I've learned a lot already. I made a donation using the link that appears when you log in, and I was curious to know at what point the "CB Supporter" tag appears?

Hey guys, Why won't we post some basic details about facility? Light Board, Dimmer Types, Basic Fixture Type, Intelligent Lighting, etc. Whatever you'd like to share! Even include sound if you'd like. Here's some details at the High School I work at: Board is an ETC Insight 72 Channel...

I like to organize the board in a way that I can remember things without having to look them up on a hookup every time. For example i'll put an area A front warm on channel 1, and and area A front cool on channel 11. Also, we have more dimmers than channels on our board. The board is an ETC...

We did some testing to see how much we could get away with, and we were quite impressed. Without cutting holes in concrete, I'm not sure if theres any other way we're going to get rear projection in this space, so hopefully it works. I suppose the best way to get the keystone correction right is...

Your drawing is correct. I wish we could have them all straight on (i'd sleep better at night) but the distance between the screen and the back wall is only about 8 feet. There is a 12 foot wide elephant door in the middle of that wall that leads into our scene shop. The shop is plenty big, so...

Hey all, We have here a 72 channel ETC Insight board that we use for most of our shows. I've noticed the MIDI In, Out and Thru ports a bunch of times, but never really investigated what can be done with them. What kind of things can you do? Advancing cues? Firing a MIDI command with certain...

Sounds good guys, thanks for the replies. The other issue besides the correct fabric is how are we going to get the throw we need to get the image big enough on the screen. At the moment it looks like we're going to have to have the image split across the projectors. The center one would be...
