To answer a few of your questions...I work primarily in theatre and musicals, but I have also been in the DJ circuit and have programmed light shows in my mobile lighting rig. I also work as a Master Electrician and have experience in sound mixing and operation.I subscribe and religiously...

Hello everyone,I am having a problem with some Robe ColorSpot 700e units, particularly the animation wheel. I just started working at my current employer and they have four of these ColorSpot units, which apparently have been sitting in storage for quite some time and we would like to be able...

I have Robe MMX movers in which I need to calibrate the position of the color wheels. I am able to use Shift+Encoder to fine tune the frame of the color wheel to my desired position. However, I cannot find the "calibrate" option on any of the soft keys on the console once I do so. It is an Ion...

I am troubleshooting a Robe ColorSpot 700E AT that is having indexing errors with the gobo wheels. I get the follow messages when I start up the unit:Gobo Wheel Error 1 Gobo Wheel Error 2 Gobo Index Error 1 Gobo Index Error 2I opened up the unit and it looks like the two sensors (the one on...

Hahaha! I don't blame you one bit! From what I understand, it will be a 3-phase system.

Yes, my question is strictly for the theatrical lighting aspect only. Every other electrical element of the building itself will be handled by other departments. I'm just looking for lighting system requirements.

The estimated breakdown is this... 96 Source Four 750w 8 VL2500 Spot 2 Studio Spots 2 SolaSpot Pro 45 Practicals (~75w each, type A bulbs) 15 LED TriPAR fixtures25 of the Source Four fixtures will have Coloram II scrollers. The practicals will be plugged into Leprocon dimmer packs that are...

Hello,Let's say there's a new lighting rig going into a new building. The lighting plot consists of Source Fours, VL2500s, SolaSpots, and various LED wash lights and practicals. If the entire rig (all instruments) would be powered up at 100%, it would draw 236 kilowatts of power. The...

The console has been running 2.5.2 prior to the start of our tech week, so the scrollers were having that problem even with the most recent Eos software update.

The console had recently been updated to the most recent version of Eos, prior to the start of this show's run.

Hello, again! Here again for an update. After trying a few things, I think I found a solution that appears to be working consistently for me.I discovered that if I'm doing my frame check and come across a scroller whose frames are landing off-centered, I just have to reset that particular...

I will give that a try tomorrow, as well! Thanks! :-)

I have not, but I will give that a try tomorrow night. I can also try doing the method of "At Color 1, At Color 2, etc..." and see if that makes a difference.I will keep you updated on what I find. Thank you so much for your input and help! I really appreciate it! :-)

A little of both, actually. Sometimes they go too far, other times not far enough. It's never really consistent with either one.The last frame is always correct, as is the first frame. I never ever have to adjust the positions of frame #1 or frame #18, only the ones in frame 10-17 range...

Hi Dave,So, to answer your questions...1) Yes, when I said "shut down and restart," I did indeed mean that they get shut down before I leave for the night, and then powered up when I return the next evening.2) When they get powered up, they run their initialization process, and then all...
