https://www.qlcplus.orgCan run it on a Raspberry Pi. Works great with MIDI controllers like https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/XTouchC--behringer-by-touch-compact Nothing beats having at least a few physical controls on a dedicated control surface.A bit of a learning curve but once...

As others point out, ETC for home is total overkill. There are plenty of home automation systems that do not need any connection to the internet or cloud. Homeassistant is an open source project to provide local control for Homekit compatible devices.Personally I'm a bit old school. I...

Er, you do realize that the Music Group owns their own factory - in China - for exactly the reasons you mentioned and that the X32 is one of the first products to come out of that new factory?I realize there is apparently lots of brand animosity towards Behringer for past actual or perceived...

Thanks! It's a nothing special panasonic or toshiba. I knew about those cages - and I think even in the cage it would get buffeted around :( Part of the appeal of having on the basketball goal would be it would be lower than all the way up at the ceiling, or certainly higher than the...

Exactly! I think many people who had knee-jerk reactions over FCP X were looking at it as a drop in replacement for FCP 7. It's not. Apple didn't help the situation by immediatly discontinuing FCP 7 and not talking for the first several months FCP X was out. There's no question they handled...

I need to mount a projector in a multipurpose room/gym. The projector only needs to be active one day when the gym is being used as a meeting room. All other days of the week the projector would be removed from the gym - I don't think I need to go into the whole "anything on the gym ceiling is...

Yup - that is the biggest issue. Thankfully, if you have a newer device, it's easy to get around. From the Kanex FAQ section:Do I need a wifi connection for this to work? AirPlay Mirroring requires Apple TV and iOS device to be on the same network. If you have the new iPad 3rd generation or...

Also beware that screens are often optimized for dead-on viewing. Unless they are very expensive technology like IPS, off axis viewing drops off quickly.

You'd be surprised what is out there; mFi | Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.It's not really shipping yet, and the UBNT guys can fall behind on promised dates - but once you get your hands on 'em you'll probably like 'em. I stumbled across them last year for their Unifi Wifi system and I LOVE it - it...

Airplay is a great option - refurbished Apple TV's can be scored for $80 routinely from Apple's online store. Or you can get something purpose-built: Kanex ATV Pro I need to get one of those and add it to my bag of tricks!As for outputting from your computer, there are applications like Air...

A big correction - George Westinghouse DID NOT come up with AC - Nikola Tesla did. Tesla worked for Westinghouse. How sad is it that only Edison is widely remembered for the lightbulb, but the father of the electrical system that powers not only the light bulb but everything else is rarely...

We have an ETC Express 24/48 console. I'm slowly starting to learn it, but it definetly has it's own lingo! I have an inhibit sub-master that I want to use whenever we are going to show videos in our facility. I would like to dim all the channels exept for a channel that has two floods with...

Hopefully you have solved it by now, but just in case - we had the same issue and it turned out to be a hardware problem. At first ETC support thought it was an issue with the port on the back of our console, but it ended up being a hardware issue with the dimmer pack - I believe one of the...

That's awesome. Now if they would just allow low-power jammers, even if you had to get a license....

:) All good uses. Here's another one for replacing sheet music. It has some cool features - especially the ability to change key on the fly. You can use a bluetooth pedal to change pages and you can sync multiple iPads with the app so that when the leader changes the page, they all change...
