Refers to a power source where the current does not change polarity. The most common source of direct current is from a battery source.

It's all good now, swapped data cards from another nsi dimmer pack with bad dimmer cards. Thanks though guys.

Hey guys,I'm having a problem with a Leviton DDS 3600 dimmer pack that I can't figure out. When I apply power to the pack, it recognizes the power coming in, but it also thinks that it has DMX present without plugging in any data. No DMX cables are going into it. The internal dipswitches...

I am totally putting a couple of these on my Christmas list!

I always find your posts so cool...It's a joy to read about all these old fixtures and just the history of our cool toys :)

I've used brads to hold gel into its frame for colors that need to change during changeovers during summerstock shows... As for labeling gel, I never know if a gel is going to be placed in a fixture somewhere where an audience member can see it, so I habitually label gel in the corner of the...

There's a thread that's a couple days old that deals with a very similar situation, but me now being forum-savvy at the moment cannot figure out how to post directly to said thread :oops: Check the most recent threads for the person looking to rent a glass gobo with the "Annie" logo.

I've put together two stardrops in the past. The first one I built was a fiber optic stardrop, which looked OK...it took about 2 weeks working between classes to put together. I was kind of bummed out that the stars did not look as good as I would of hoped (we didn't have the budget to...

For our senior projects, we work in groups of two usually. Honestly, more often than not, the senior projects are pretty low key compared to where you go to school. Some project ideas right now that we can pick from include creating a hydraulic lab station with data acquisition capabilities...

..I have wondered if there were such a device like the autopilot in existance or not...extremely cool dylanlights, I'm actually in the same boat as you with having to pick out a senior project for my electrical engineering program. I thought about maybe creating an inexpensive MPX to DMX...

It's all good, I knew what you were talking about and getting at...Besides, it's not an easy chore to remember how all of your awesome consoles are put together :cool: Thanks again, I really appreciate all of the help :)

Hey guys, I have a submaster fader on an Expression 3 that is not in working order anymore. I'm curious to know how easy it is to acquire a new potentiometer to replace the bad one, or is it just something that I'll have to live with...which would be just fine honestly, I just like to keep...

Man....I really wish that I would of thought of something like using spansets run multicable through high steel truss...it would of made my job of running multicable over an ice rink for both the Olympic Speedstaking Trials and The World Cup so much easier...This experience was by far the most...

What I have done before to make a dimmer a non-dim outlet is make a jumper that bypasses the powercube/SCR/whatever-name-it-goes-by. The breaker switch on that dimmer module acts as an on/off switch for that specific circuit. This is how I bring clean power to moving lights that are located...

Why, yes I do! :p
