Wow! There's a ton of great stuff in there. Thanks for pointing me to that!

Would anyone mind if I dug up this old thread? No? Awesome.I'm looking for some witty lighting designer quotes to put on a shirt. What do you guys have?Right now I'm considering "Yes, I can dim the sun" and "Don't panic, just fade to black."Any suggestions would be great =)

Thanks for the update! Glad to see your Isolator is still working great. I'm about to go pick one up for myself as my spare Doug Fleenor just died. I love how the Data Stream 4 is rack mountable. Looks like a solid product and for that price, I just can't pass it up.

I'll track down a computer with a serial port this week at my venue for a quick test. As for the manual, it makes almost no mention of visualizer functions at all, much less how to make it work. I've read the separate documentation about serial to midi, but I'd rather not go through the trouble...

Great to hear about that forum!! I've spent some time going through posts on there and have already learned some new tricks and secrets I didn't already know. So thanks for pointing me to that!!As for the Avo Visualiser question, there were a few posts on that site from people having the exact...

I've been researching the visualizing software for Avolites Azure consoles and I must say... it's not the most straight forward thing I've ever seen. Avolites has put out a very short little guide outlining how to set this up, but I found it to be very lacking. It talks about using some sort of...

So it's time to buy some new gear and I'm wanting some decent LED bars. I got my hands on some Color Strips by Chauvet and absolutely hated them. Some of the worst lights I've ever used in my life. I've used other lights from Chauvet and they aren't total junk, but these LED bars are pathetic...

Thanks everyone for your help!! I've just now gotten back to this project and ended up going with a VGA to composite and Y/C converter box. Now, the switcher accepts both those connections on inputs 1-3. However, when I hook up the box to the switcher using the higher quality Y/C connection, I...

So here's my current project. We just upgraded our main show computer to an iMac to run some new visuals software, and I need to be able to feed the output to a Sony DFS-300 switcher. What's the best way to go about this? I don't need this to be HD and I'd like to not go over $500. Thanks...

Just wanted to update you guys on the tube situation. I started playing with the settings on my console and decided to go off on a wild goose chase and set the DMX signal delay to some insane value. I'd had it at 50-something milliseconds for some Martin movers but decided to take it through the...

Hi everyone. I have a question about some Chauvet ColorTubes. I found 12 of them with a ColorTube DMX adapter in a storage room in my venue and figured I would try to get some use out of them. My problem is that whenever I patch them into my console, they won't stop strobing! It's driving me up...

Alrighty, here's some more details.I will definitely get matching projectors. Wether or not I use the same ones I have right now is still unknown. I would just like to be able to stick with these instead of putting most of my budget into totally new units. I will check on the model and post...

Thank you all for your replies!! Just a few more questions. Wouldn't it be possible to have the pallets for dimmers on console A, and pallets for fixtures on console B? Then run 5 pin dmx from A's output to B's input? Isn't that what the dmx input is for? It seems easier to use console B as a...

Thanks for your reply! Here's some more details: I already have 3 projectors from another project that I would like to use for this. So I would only need 2 more. That opens up more of the budget for other hardware/software. The projectors I have right now were about $3k each, so they are...

Can someone give me advice on how to go about this project? I'm setting out to make a video wall in a fairly small space using projectors. I have a 12 feet of headroom behind the stage before I start hitting trusses. So I can't go up really high, but I can make it super wide. I was planning on...
