Oh, forgot to add that it will be used for theatre, so not a lot of movement and usually with decent fade times.

What are your thoughts on mounting a moving head to a tripod? I would mount it on the center of the tripod, on top of the T-bar with 2 static lights(ETC CS spot/par) on the ends of T-bar? Moving head weight: 9.9 kg (21.7 lbs) Robe LedBeam350. Stand...

I have used Astera AX3 lights for wireless operation. Long battery life and very powerful. You can control those from your console via Lumenradio CRMX or their own CRMX device. Although they are rather expensive. http://astera-led.com/ax3/

Hi,I need to make some RJ45 to XLR 5pin adapters. How would you do that? We have spare DMX lines that are made from CAT6/7 cable and RJ45 (cat6a) sockets. Now I need to make some adapters. I don't want to use cat5 cable. I would rather use cat6 instead. Should I buy some 1m length cat6a patch...

Most moving heads we use are from Robe that uses Lumenradio but we don't have any of them with the receiver. It doesn't support RDM if you have built-in Lumenradio on Robe. I would get them for places that are hard to reach with DMX. At the moment I was looking at (1x Lumenradio CRMX Nova FX...

So which is better option: Lumenradio CRMX or Wireless Solutions W-DMX?

Thanks for the input! This was just an example. I will have different fixtures and also about 200 dimmer channels. My concern was that I will have about 750 dmx addresses in use but only 220 different fixtures (moving heads, LED's). I have patched to second universe but never have had over 500...

Hi, We have ETC Element 500 I know I can controle 500 dimmers from there but am I able to controle 100 fixtures that each 10 channels? Console has two dmx universes output.

Hi,Looking in buying a new projector to our theater. I wan't it to be bright (4500-5000 lumens) and also not to heavy (max 8kg), resolution 16:10 (WXGA).My main question is how will LCD projectors work with smoke fluid residue? I was recommended a DLP projector that has closed assembly for...

I have single projector per show. Those Extron things are one-way so no EDID.I think I'm doing that. Video stays the same but I edit the screen dimensions in Qlab to match my screen size. So I have my image only on my screen and all other are black. All the processing is done at Qlab. It's...

Hi,I have shows where I have the same content and different projectors. Sometimes 16:10 sometimes 4:3. The projector is on stage mounted on truss or from FOH. At the moment I use my MacBook Pro with Qlab3 and VGA out, then Extron VTT001 thru 50m of shielded CAT5e and then Extron VTR001...

Yes. At the moment I haven't looked at other manufacturers.

Hi,Does anyone know what's the deal with Robe Ledwash 300 and 300+?300 is older, has smaller zoom range, is less powerful and is more expensive than 300+. Price difference is pretty big.Are the colors not so good or the low end dimming? I've heard something about different LED's?Any info...

Hey quick question. Usually with everything with LED I try to get units that have 16bit dimmer but looking at ETC Colorsource or even S4 series2 Lustre they both are 8bit dimmer? All my moving heads (Robe) have 16bit dimmer witch I have thought to be better than 8bit. But having seen both ETC...

Has anybody any experience with Chamsys MagicQ and 7 colored LED's. Looking at Robe DL7S Profile and Wash. With wash fixture I found all other colors under Beam on Page 3. With profile I was able to get them in Color window. That's little odd :S My main concern is that Chamsys doesn't seem to...
