    Automated Fixtures Chauvet Profiles for ETC Element

    I though there was a database of fixture personalities at Lighting solutions for Theatre, Film & Television Studios and Architectural spaces : ETC but a few minutes of searching and I came up with nothing (though I'm relatively confident this is where I downloaded one for my Robe Spot250xt)...

    LightJockey as visualiser without any Martin products?

    bump47 views, and nobody with an answer?!I've downloaded and installed LightJockey, and been able to open the visualiser...but all I see is a 3D box. I cannot figure out how to plot lights or establish a realistic stage (possibly because I don't have all the pieces). My next step is to dive...

    LightJockey as visualiser without any Martin products?

    Hi All,I know LightJockey is a free download show control/visualiser. Obviously you need the dongle for show control, but is the visualiser essentially free to everyone? Can I download, install, input fixtures / values, visualise my plot all without paying / owning anything Martin?

    Running standard AC extension cable near LX

    I'm not TOO stressed with my raceway circuits, but its always easier when you don't really have to worry about running out of circuits. What kind of system would a professional house put in place to provide non-dim power if they were unable to re-assign current rack modules? Would they install a...

    Running standard AC extension cable near LX

    Thanks for all the great replies!I'm have an L86 rack with EM264 modules. My dimmer circuits are all twist-lock connectors. I don't currently have spare twist-lock cables to slap an adapapter on. 208 V is indeed not an issue. And, finally, I don't have my cables laying up against the side of...

    Running standard AC extension cable near LX

    Hi all,So I've started adding movers to my LX, and have the issue of getting non-dim AC to them. My current way of doing so is with an extension cable in a regular outlet at stage level, tie-wrapped to a conduit that runs up to batten level, tie-wrapped to the slack portion of the dimmer power...

    Automated Fixtures Standard power procedures - Moving Lights

    Recently started using moving lights. I'm wondering how most venues deal with turning the units on and off. It seems to me that large venues would be unlikely to send someone around flipping switches in hard to reach places.One solution I thought of was having all power run through floor-level...

    LED color wash comparison

    So I'm looking at buying some LED pars to handle colour wash of my stage. I have about $7000 budget for this, and am trying to figure out if it is possible. It seems to me the important spec to look at is lux or fc from my distance (14' or ~4.2 meters), but I have no idea what value is...

    Automated Fixtures Hanging moving lights with c-clamps

    Are c-clamps safe for mounting movers? I have some Robe Spot 250XT movers which were purchased a while ago by the last auditorium manager who installed c-clamps as mounting hardware. Not sure if this is safe or not with a unit which will be spinning and torquing. I know an omega clamp or...

    What kind of C-clamp should I buy?

    OH. MY. GOD. I've been wanting to create something like this for a long time, but wasn't sure what I'd use. I too would like to hear from someone who's used them. What kind of spacing did you find best?

    What kind of C-clamp should I buy?

    From taking a look at that thread, and reexamining the C-Clamps, it seems my main problem is just worn down pan screws (from being overtightened and then often getting refocused using brute force). At $0.16/ea, that'll leave some more budget for the more "fun" things. Thanks Derek, and...

    What kind of C-clamp should I buy?

    From my understanding its a spring mechanism that controls pan - just push down and twist? Did i misunderstand? Or does the mechanism lock up?

    What kind of C-clamp should I buy?

    So, it's that time of year that I get to submit my list of requested goodies to purchase come summertime. One of the items high up on my list are new C-clamps (current ones are rusted to hell and worn down from being "adjusted" by force and not a wrench). There seem to be quite a few...
