    Theater Video Distribution (Lobby, Dressing Rooms, etc.)

    Here's my best take at replying to your questions:1. We are running through network switches and would like to keep it that way. That said, we could with some difficulty re-purpose some of the cat runs. 2. I am fairly confident the switches have been correctly configured. Currently we are only...

    Theater Video Distribution (Lobby, Dressing Rooms, etc.)

    In light of coronavirus wiping out our spring season, we are spending some quality time on maintenance projects. We are currently looking to upgrade the way video is distributed to (1) Dressing rooms, (2) Lobby monitors, and (3) Overflow spaces. Currently, we have a crestron system that pushes...

    Nomad Remote Control with Element

    It was just the client software: no dongleThat is interesting, but even if the nomad connected as a backup, the console should not have been able to output DMX because the system capacity would be zero: the capacity of the nomad client software with no dongle.I'll give ETC a call today and...

    Nomad Remote Control with Element

    I don't know what to say, but if definitely happened. For a brief period of time, my computer was able to control all the console functions that I tested. I was able to turn on and off channels, use keys such as blackout, as well as hit go and back to move between cues. It may just be a bug, but...

    Nomad Remote Control with Element

    So the other day, I was playing around with the nomad software for my ETC element console. I flipped in and out of mirror mode a couple of times, and at some point, I was able to control the console's functions with the nomad software on my laptop. This is a feature that would be really great...

    Alternatively, is it possible for the releasing of a contact closure to fire a macro?

    I agree with your point, and I have the iRFR app on my iphone. Its Ok, but it's not the same as encoders. In a few years we will upgrade to either Ion or whatever ETC is selling at that level, but until then, we will have to make do with whatever we can invent to control moving lights on our...

    Automated Fixtures Etc Element Serial Programming

    Won't the macro you just described run for an infinite amount of time which means that the pan value will keep increasing even after the contact closure is no longer closed?Earlier I somehow was able to put pan into an element macro by simply typing it in. I can't seem to replicate what I...

    Update: I was able to add pan by typing it in. Right now what I have in the macro command line is the following {Open_ML_Controls Pan @ +1} it opens the ml controls, but it does not change my pan value. Any Ideas?

    Thanks for the information about 2.3. Do you have an estimate on the release date?Unfortunately, unlike in eos, it does not appear to be possible to select pan from the filter menu. I looked at eos offline, and it is in fact there, but that does not appear on my element. Do you have any Idea...

    Automated Fixtures Etc Element Serial Programming

    We have an element in our theater, and over time we have acquired quite a collection of moving lights. At this point, the virtual ML controls have become a bit of a pain and I am looking for other options. The idea occurred to me that I could get a momentary joystick and wire each of the...
