Yeah, actually we discovered later that it was a malfunctioning video card that was locking the console up... it was just interesting/curious that the problem happened at the same time as we tried running movers with the board for the very first time.

I guess that what I'm about to say answers Sharyn's questions...For the past few years, my high school has been renting more and more moving lights for our productions, whether they be concerts or regular theatrical shows. However, our main console is a Leviton Innovator 24/48. When we tried...

Thank you all for your helpful replies. I will take your advice into consideration when we start the bidding process. Thanks again, Froggy

Hey everybody,This is probably a stupid/irrelevant question...The ETC D20 dimmer module has two separate SCRs in it. Does that mean that one module is in fact two discrete dimmers? Or is it only one dimmer per module, except in situations with dimmer doubling?I ask this because I am trying...

So what I'm not understanding is whether a separate circuit raceway must be installed into the hoist system, or does the electrics version of the Prodigy come with the circuit raceway and junction box pre-installed? Also, if someone has a general price point on these things, it would be much...

So, what I'm sensing is that the metal itself is only worth the market price for scrap metal; but the colored glass roundels might be able to fetch a nice $15 or so per unit. I'm not going to the Controlbooth classifieds yet because I don't have sole jurisdiction over our course of action with...

Yeah, I was thinking that the metal is so old that we'd be better off just selling it to a scrap dealer. I'm pleasantly surprised at how much we could get for the roundels. Thanks a lot!

Hey, My high school's theater is looking to upgrade our very old system. We would like to sell a pair of border/strip lights. I believe they are Hub Electric products. They are very old, from about 1960, but they are in excellent condition. They are 32 feet long. I was wondering how much money...

Ok. Thanks for the help. A day later I am realizing that RGB might not be the best idea. I think I'll try it during one rehearsal and probably end up not doing it. Thanks to all who replied.

Hey, I was wondering if it would be feasible to use 26/36 degree Source Fours in a cove/ catwalk position for RGB color mixing. My plan is to group the S4's into groups of 3 and gel one with a red, one with a green, and the third with a blue. I would repeat the process a few more times so I can...

My school uses a Colortran/ NSI Innovator 24/48. It works well for us, and it would meet all of your demands except price. It goes for $3,500, but the extra money would be worth a console that seems perfect for your fit. You might also want to look into the smaller Innovator models, as well. For...

What is the average price for a new or gently used ETC Sensor 48+ Installation Rack?

Thank you very much. I will try these I am thinking that we will hang the light from a pipe near the cyc lights and move it so it flashes into the audience's direction.

Could someone please tell me the best location to hang a strobe light(s) like an Atomic 3000 so that it will deliver the maximum effect in a blackout, whether the position be on stage, on a batten, in the cove, on a tormentor,etc...

Thank you all, I am only a sophomore in high school so I really appreciate input from you more experienced individuals.
