    Renting a computer?

    I am considering renting a Mac Pro to run QLab 3 for sound and projections for an upcoming production. However, I have no idea what companies offer computer rentals. The places I'm familiar with for sound and lighting equipment don't seem to rent computers. Ideally, I'd like a place which...

    New Mac OS X Mavericks - Implications?

    Apple tries to mitigate this by turning off notifications automatically when you are mirroring your display, since that is how most people give presentations. Currently when you're not mirroring, there's also no problem, because the projector is typically the secondary screen and notifications...

    Is there a lighting console that works like this?

    This is what I ended up doing. It's not a perfect solution, however. For one thing, it just treats any channels with values in the sub as a group (it's equivalent to [GROUP][SUB][#] where # is the sub number), so you lose any proportional values stored in the sub (I think? correct me if I'm...

    Yes, this is it exactly. A layer of abstraction between channels and cues. Is there a board that offers this?And yes, I know that something somewhat similar is available via the various types of referenced data on Eos family boards (palettes, presets, effects), but it is not quite correct. If...

    Is there a lighting console that works like this?

    Yeah, in the process of programming this show I discovered that groups were a nicer way to do things given how the Ion works, and started using the subs as groups (apparently you can just use a sub as a group of any channels that have values in that sub, you just lose proportionality).I do...

    Is there a lighting console that works like this?

    First, I'm new here, so hello!I just finished working on the first show I have designed lights for. I used an ETC Ion and learned a fair bit about programming it. While I can see the logic behind its way of doing things, it does not correspond with how I wanted to program the show.Here is...
