The D Split CAN be specified with only 5 pin or a mix of 3 and 5 but not all 3 pin.

The DMXIS (hardware/software bundle) is meant as a stand alone option. If you are looking to have more options then you are correct, the DMX USB Pro Mk2 would be your best bet. 2 universes and a lot of software support..some of it free!

I'm actually reading your book right now! I just wanted to get more feedback before I purchased anything. I will be working my first major ALD gig in a few months. Woot!I had a feeling that a rolling suitcase would be the way to go. What size do you use? 22"? 24"?

I see a lot of great suggestions for what to carry in an ALD kit, but what I'm curious about is what case does everyone use for all this stuff! What do you use to carry all the various, random ALD kit items? Pictures if you got em and reasons why you like the choice you've made. Any particular...

Does the same apply for groups?

I recently began using a 520i and constantly have new questions. After reading this thread and sufferring from the same next/last problem I looked into what my console was set at and it says 'default'. What is the default setting? From what I understand, If I change it to Light Palletenothing...

Im using a 520i now and wanted to know if groups and effects, etc are global or local to the file. I want to add some additional groups and effects/get rid of old ones but I dont want to effect any of the other shows that are already programmed. If I change groups within the same directory, but...

Im having a similar problem with my 520i. My issue is the track ball getting sticky. Im not sure how to clean a trackball that doesnt realease from its ring (like a mouse trackball would). Is there anyway that anyone knows to get the ball out so i can clean it up?

Hello Control Booth!I'm hoping someone out there might be able to point me in the right direction. Im looking to have a rather large projection screen frame built in a custom shape. (Its got to be able to handle some decent wind/weather loads outdoors.) Im under the same budget constraints...

Yes, all 3 screens will have the same resolution. Not sure yet what the console is. I believe its a PC based interface. Maybe sandbox?

Im working on a video project that has 3 seperate screens running different content. We cant afford a media server and since we are having our content created specifically and will not be doing any live mixing all we really need is playback. After much research I have been looking into the...

Agreed. Use your MFA as a place to really hone your skills. If your teetering between a few subjects then find a liberal arts school and explore those interests. I know a VERY successful lighting designer that has a BFA in Art. The beauty of our buisness is that it is informed by SO MANY...

I agree that you should not worry about the MFA at this point. Instead focus on finding an undergraduate program that will give you what you need. If you are unsure at this point if you want to very specifically study one aspect of theatre then I would also suggest stearing clear of conservatory...

I havent joined any specific architectural forums yet. Im making the rounds....Prolighting space, Theatreface, Controlbooth, ISquint,JimOnLight,etc. Linked in has a new forum called lighting innovations which I think is moderated by Phillips but at the moment its mostly LED based discussions...

Hello Controlbooth! Ive joined a few other forums lately and today ran across this one! My name is Crystal and I recently moved to New York city after completing my MFA at Carnegie Mellon. Im primarily a lighting designer but sparked an interest in media design as well after my first LDI in...
