The projectors are driven by 8 Green Hippo Hippotizer HDs and a zookeeper PC for control. The pics are transferred from photopass daily and then keyed over the video in the Hippo. Everything is synced with SMPTE and the pyro is all fired from a fireone system.

Update: Updated the console from some ancient firmware to the lastest from Yamaha. Plugged in the flash drive and same problem...Next time I get a chance I'm going to go through it file by file and figure out what is causing it....but that's a task for another day!

So...this made for an exicting morning...I'm sitting in our 9am service in front of a 32 channel LS-9 and one of the guys I work with says that one of the songs coming up would be cool to record. So I click through to the recorder and dig through my pocket to find a flash drive. Plug the flash...

Does anyone know of any online staff management system (either web based or software)? Something similar to planning center online, but more dedicated to just theater. Thanks

I want to apply a dimmer curve to a generic RGB LED fixture to make it fade up slower. It currently fades up faster then all other movers or conventional fixtures. Is this possible to due on the ION and if so, how.

although i'm 150% sure that this won't work, i'm SO tempted to go find a hub and try this....just don't have any DMX gear to risk blowing out...

The first time we used confetti cannons and fired them from catwalk B DIRECTLY into catwalk A (.....i know....) was, coincidentally, the last time we used confetti. We're still finding the stupid stuff everywhere...

There's really no such thing as a "DHCP Switch". Some Cisco hardware will let you run a DHCP server on a switch but that's about it. Unless you have an overwhelming desire/need to blast traffic over your network then go with a switch. It'll do exactly what you want. As long as you are using...

Depends what you want to do with it. I've used it a few time for events with DJs. I found it a bit confusing to get up and running but it worked great after. I mostly used it in sound activated mode. I liked being able to lay out where all of my lights were in the workspace. One of the events...

I usually go both above and below on our M7. I like being able to look in either place...
