Hello. I have a Hog 4 DMX widget and Hog 4 PC software. I'm looking to output ArtNet internally to trigger events in another program running on the same computer. I can't figure it out in the network settings. Can any networking experts help?Thanks.

Okay I've realized that I can probably eliminate the dedicated sound computer by playing a four channel soundtrack via a USB sound device from LOR if it's supported. I'll look in to that.

Hello. I was hoping to get some advice regarding the show control set up I'm envisioning for a Christmas light show project I'm leading.Essentially, the show will consist of a Light-O-Rama PC controlling thousands of lights on a Christmas tree. Another PC with Hog software will control several...

I have a limited understanding of MIDI - I've used it to connect my keyboard to my computer, and I know it carries information between many types of devices... I do have access to the lightboard's manual online. Thank you!

I don't need the sound board to change, only the lighting cues. I would like QLab to play the music (which will be sent to the sound board via 8mm) and control the light cues at the same time. I wasn't able to find a thread that gave me the solution. I'm hopefully looking for someone to explain...

Hi. I was hoping I could get some help on the subject of MIDI lightboard control from a computer. I've done lots of research but don't feel like I understand enough. Basically, my old high school continues to bring me back to help with lighting and sound. I'll be working on a dance concert...

Hi I just got an Elation DMX Operator 192. It has the port on the back for fog machine control. It looks exactly like MIDI. Is there a way to convert my old Antari Alpha F-80x fog machine to work with that? All the fog machine has on it is a power cord and a spot to plug in the remote, which...

Ok, where does a dichroic filter go? In one of the color spots? Right above the lamp? Somewhere else inside? Is this a good color? What would I do with that if I bought it? Apollo Design | CTO3 I'm new at this color and filter stuff....

Ok so there are no replaceable colors I can put in to make it whiter, is something like this best? Apollo Design | MR16 Dichroic Filter Clip Would that fit inside an SCX600? It doesn't seem like it would fit... If not that, what else could I use?

Ok cool, where can I buy them online though? There are no Martin dealers around me.... Thanks

Hi I have a Martin Mania SCX600 which features interchangeable colors. Where do I buy new colors to put in? I wanna find something like a light special lavender to make the 'open' look more white and less yellowish. Thanks much!

About the Chauvet ColorPalette:They look and feel pretty durable... there's a plastic screen covering the LEDs and the rest is all metal. I still am careful when carrying them around and stuff, but they are strong.My four ColorPalettes are actually installed in the theater at my school...

Hi I'm no expert, but I bought four Chauvet ColorPalette's recently for something, and they're brighter than I expected. They cost $229 each, barley take any power, you can choose a color for stand-alone, or hook them up with DMX. Here's what they look like at night in front of my house (the...

Thanks very much! I'll look into that soon. Everyone: I'm borrowing the board from a friend who doesn't use it anymore, and he's the one who suggested opening it up and adding this stuff. Before anything, I'll ask him if he wants to do it himself and/or if he for sure approves of modifying it...

Hello I am borrowing a Leviton 7008 small lightboard to use at a show at school. The board is MPX only, and I need to convert it to DMX. I know about the $100 add-on that you can buy to install in the lightboard, but I was told there is a much better way. I was told there could be an adapter...
