Maybe a little unconventional, but I vote you braze it, and possibly leave the metal unfinished. It'll be more personal, and after time, with oxidation it'll gain character, like a 'living' micro ghost light.

That's also how MAC filtering works on one our networks. Everything works for a bit and then the device is booted from the network.

Based on what your saying I can only make some guesses. It sounds like the cyc is stored in multiple places.Some of the most common issues people have when dealing with multiple cues is the mode of the board: Cue Only vs TrackingThis is epecially problematic with multiple cue lists. If you...

Some things you can check:Check for compatibility: https://support.etcconnect.com/ETC/Consoles/Eos_Family/RPU/Net2_AVAB_Draft_sACN_on_Eos_RPU Verify the console is outputting Net2 When you are changing your nodes, make sure you are actually applying the changes If Mac filtering is enabled on...

You ask some interesting questions. I was a house tech for 15 years, now I do more design and consultation. On average, we had around 60-80 touring L.D.'s per year, for concerts, live TV broadcast, church conferences, business conferences, political conventions, a few high profile memorials...

I second checking the universe first. You already know you have communication from that electric to the console because of the Altman's so start with the universeAs a side bar: For my show's, if intellegent fixtures are in play, I like to keep each electric on a separate universe or 2 unverses...

Personally I'd keep to a hardwire approach. With a budget like that, it shouldn't be any issue to run a local video distribution system (similar to if you were your own cable provider).multiple signals to a distro, than 1 coax cable to each TV...

I have 24 - VLZ's, 5 - Profiles, 2 - 2600s, and 6 - VL10's and ALL of them do exactly what you are describing when RDM is enabled or when ETC is live syncing with the dimmer racks. Make sure you have RDM disabled on all of your nodes and your console. Also make sure your terminated to help...

To me this sounds like there's an issue at the fixture itself. Some things to consider.1. Make sure your fixtures aren't in an overlapping DMX range and they are all in the same channel mode and that you have the correct channel mode patched. 2. Make sure the menu of the fixture that pan and...

Give them a reference monitor attached to either a switcher or one of the stationary cameras and have them program to that, not just what's live. It's awkward at first, but it's the only real way to know how your lights are going to interact with your cameras. They're all different.Depends on...

Fixture settings can be overridden with RDM so if you're modifying the fixture at the physical menu make sure RDM isn't undoing whatever you're changing. But to be honest I am not sure the Rush series reads RDM, however RDM from the board can cause issues with non RDM fixtures.It is also...

Yes. I keep a dedicated 2 port node at FOH for this purpose. Just keep a couple male to male turn arounds if you order them standard. You can order the node with input ports but it doesn't matter. Digitally they can be set however you want.Use Gateway Configurator Editor in shell on an EOS...

I try to avoid a ballyhoo of front light unless I get a chance to light Hannibal ;-) but I haven't got that call yet, so I'll just stick with my slow move in blacks.

Which would be easier to learn of the 2? Definitely Chamsys since it 'doesn't do' as much as the hog 3, meaning hog relies on remembering keyboard shortcuts finding things 'buried' in spreadsheets, a little bit more networking understanding (can be as complex as you want it to be) yada yada. I...

I'm personally a fan of ETC Desire 60's as top lights. I also like using movers on the first electric as front light. It's a bit sharp on shadows so not everyone likes that look but in smaller stages I like the contrast, it gives depth.Here's a couple photos of the last time I did Shrek. Top...
