Are you using a computer? If so, PC/Apple? Are you wanting to use lights? What are you looking to use it for exactly? What is the purpose?This will help understand what you are looking for.

I think they said the demo unit was still using an original software version that let the motors go at max speed. But I am going to assume they definitely dumbed it down. Since the need for a fixture to go 540 in .2 seconds is pretty unnecessary really.

I've messed with those hazers before and feel like this is a problem that comes up semi frequently. I've heard random things like add a terminator or plug a DMX line straight into it back to the console. I would say start from there with the DMX or a terminator.

I want to say I saw a technobeam lense kit running around on Gearsource.com some time last month. Might still be there.

I am half certain I have seen those fixtures hung sideways before. And with it being a lighter fixture, I don't think it would be an issue. But like Pie4Weebl said, Pipe and two cheeseburgers would do the trick. If it were fixtures weighing more- such as Mac 2k or VL3500, I'd suggest adding a...

Welcome to the site.Just go through all your settings in the playback and make sure something didn't randomly get changed. My roadhog used to have issues like that out of nowhere. Things like my fader would change from crossfrade to size/rate.

ya. I was considering the suggestion of oregano. This area isn't exactly my interest as much as it was years ago in school. I suggested to him already the new pipes and whatnot. I think he is claiming that he can get them from a place in Gainesville on loan from some shop. Which wouldn't...

So I have a friend that's asking me about getting ahold of prop smoking items. Mostly for a music video that he says is going to include wrapping up weed in public, nuggets, blah blah blah. But he wants to do all of this legally if he is going to do this in a public setting. So is there a site...

something else to be considered is the lenses and reflector. Make sure everything is clean and aligned properly. And the 250/2 gives a brighter and "whiter" light that is supposed to last longer than the 250's. The temperatures are also different, which can have an effect on said reflectors and...

Ya. It's a nice fixture overall. Plus it's only 75 pounds I think. So that's a plus. There is only one quark about the fixture that I'm not into and that's the "animation wheel". On the previous fixtures with an animation wheel, it was tilted into the light and then rotated. This animation wheel...

I have a guilty macro that I saw someone make... But I don't feel bad in the slightest. Plus there was a backup of the file. But on an ETC Emphasis rig, I made a macro labeled "Do Not Press". Because throughout the day we had nothing but pretty annoying and pissy "lighting guys" coming in and...

I have a random question about LED lamps in domestic fixtures. If you have a power surge or something happen in your house- or at least on that circuit, how much damage will occur to the LED itself. Is there some fuse or something inside it that can protect your investment? Or is it just like...

I got a chance to mess with a demo unit at Martin when I got certified a few weeks ago. It's a pretty nice unit. Fast pan and tilt- supposedly as fast as a Sharpy so they say. It was nice. Though I didn't get much chance to look at the inside. They say it's alot easier to work on but not nearly...

Re: Colored smokeI'm still trying to work that out. haha. That's why I may possibly get stuck with using a projector since there are outlets at FOH in the air and a projector already up. I just might need to get a program like Isadora to do what I want.I've considered the possibilities of...

Re: Colored smokeWell my issue is for LED's that there is literally not a single edison on the stage. I don't know which genius designed that, but I have searched high and low for a single one. It is a sensor rack, so I could swap out one of the dimmable modules for a universal one. I would...
