Well, as much as it pains me to show my mistakes, it was the faders above the "GO" button. There is a summer stagecraft class that was using the board and kept putting them down... :/ my bad... thanks for all who replied. and even more thanks for bearing with me... :)

Couple of things: 1. I definitely found a workaround. That is why I'm wanting to continue the thread. 2. Yes, running the GM down then up does make a difference. Just "go to cue out" doesn't do it. 3. The "time stays at 0.1" is when I hit go, and in the "time" column in the channel/live...

Okay, finally got a chance to get on the board, and I found a fix: "Go To Cue/ Out" then run the GM all the way down, then back up, then "GO" makes it work. Before this is done though, when "GO" is pressed, it advances a que, but in the time countdown indicator, it stays at 0.1 seconds. I dont...

I am sure. But randomly yesterday it started working. then after a power cycle, it wouldn't, same problem. I'm wondering if this is just a glitch or what? I wasnt the one running the board when it started working, but they called me for help, and i suggested running the GM all the way down...

Okay, so I am programming cues for South Pacific, and while the board is on and running, all cues playback fine. But then after a night off, I turn it back on and all of the cues have channels correct, but all the channels are at 0%. I tried making a completely new file, new settings and...

So I was just asked to do lighting design for a community theater groups production of "South Pacific" approximately one week before the show :) yeah. I don't have any time to get in the space and play around with gels to get a good idea of what is right for this show, so I was wondering if...

Thanks all! I have to pass the idea by my director/TD and see if buying one is a feasible option. Once again thanks! I appreciate the time you guys put into helping rooks like me!

Actually 192 sounds right. My bad.I just recently got to brick the Colortran 96/48 that we had and got an Ion (great board). And from there it runs to the dimmer room to the Viewpoint, then to the dimmers. Maybe a splitter would fix it, like Mr. Jordan said? Just stick one right before the...

Okay, so in a previous thread, i was having problems addressing an Elation Focus Spot 250R and getting it to work. However, the problem was fully resolved whenever I addressed the fixture to an address below the address 185. But this revealed another problem, If i addressed the fixture to an...

So here's my issue: I have limited circuits, and in my show i have 3 areas where we have squares with parchment paper to make a translucent background... anyways, I have 6 Colortran Cyc strips and have them set at 2 per area directly behind the squares. The cyc strips are 1kW and there are 2...

I'm not sure if it is a faux pas to bring back posts this old, but i realized that i never posted my solution. It turns out that the Colortran Viewpoint system that, independent of the Ion desk, controls the lights from wall panels around the theater restricts all DMX-512 data to only 199...

Since I usually am SM along with lighting design, I tend to be with the director a lot, plus im at every practice... the most important part for me is making sure that im doing the RIGHT thing in such-and-such scene. Am I getting the most out of my plot, am i doing a good job covering all areas...

Kiwitechgirl, Are these "boys" using the client software off their laptop, or are they doing it through somthing else?

Thanks! As for the use of elipscans in theater, I have found them extremely useful, because I can have fewer lights on the electrics because i have a limited number of S4's... so as for that, im my experience, they do the job... I was just wondering about their other products.. not necessarily...

Does anybody have any experience with Meteor's moving lights, for example the ProMover line? I was just looking around, and found out that they make more than just the Elipscans, and was wanting to see if their other stuff was just as sturdy. Thanks!
