I can't find that fixture profile in my light board patch menu. Is there a generic profile I can use instead?

Just to add yet another reason it would be a bad idea... If only one of the breakers pops, you run the risk of serious damage to the equipment as well.I was in a similar situation where I had no company switch, only 120v, and needed 240v. As it turned out, there was a firmware update available...

If still available, I could offer an absurdly low number for it...

Eos will display the values in different colors depending on the source of the data as well. If they are a bold yellow, that's a sub keeping them up. If they are a magenta, they are likely tracked from the previous cue.

I don't know MagicQ very well, and I only occasionally do any sort of busking, so take my advice as generic, but...The most important thing for busking is to really know your set up—console, software functions, and fixtures.Having a good layout so that you have quick access to all of your...

I exclusively use cue only mode, even 10 year into using Eos. If I want to change a series of cues, I prefer having to type Update Thru rather than the opposite of Update Q Only.

Your console may not be outputting the right type of signal. Assuming it is the Ion, you may need to change the protocol output in the patch menu. You may also need to go a little deeper into the settings and enable output on that protocol. I have run into that after the more recent updates...

Why not teach one to be attentive, and the other to act efficiently?In this industry, whoever wants to learn and do a good job should be coachable. You never know how long someone's going to stick it out, so the only bad option is to rely too heavily on a single person.

Yeah, I was making my own stagepin adapters at 16, but that was with adequate supervision of my work.

"Vertical" means when the clamp is vertical, I believe. Remember in theaters up is down and down is left.

Chauvet Pro makes a solid product these days, but the only frustrating thing is that they might discontinue it, so you might not be able to buy the same product in a couple years.My "daily driver" remains the Lustr 2. The nice thing there is if you have a collection of S4 accessories and...

I've also never used the recorder function on my DMXKing gateway, but I have used the same 2-port node from them for years and found it to be super reliable and durable. The only hesitation I have in suggesting it is I'm not sure how one triggers the recorded looks.

So long as there's someone qualified to train, I always think that students should be able to learn doing the work.Several high school theaters in my area were upgraded to new facilities over the past few years—which is fantastic for so many reasons. Unfortunately it means that those schools...

Yep, ETC should have a copy of the install documentation too to know exactly what you have in your system.
