    Control/Dimming RC4 4dim Addressing Issues

    Like the title says, I'm having trouble with my RC4 4dim's. I have an older model of an RC4 with only 2 dimmers on it which had absolutely no problems taking and keeping the address that I'm giving them. I followed the exact steps in the manuals but have no luck. It doesn't seem to be an issue...

    Automated Fixtures Hanging moveables

    As far as the concern with power, depending on how recent (or the type) your dimmers are you should be able to just switch the settings from dimmable to constant power. Depending on your knowledge of intelligent lighting, you'll know why. If you don't know anything about intelligent lighting...

    Identifying a Light

    I have basic knowledge in lighting. I've had no real training but have worked with many local theater companies outside of my high school in lighting and I've recently been hired in the lighting department for Krannert (the theater complex at UIUC) where I'll be attending to study lighting next...

    Identifying a Light

    My friend is doing an assignment for drama class and my teacher is asking her to define what a Shakespeare light is and she asked me and I wasn't sure. Is this even a light and if so what is it? Thanks!

    Control/Dimming Issues with ETC Congo Kid Programming

    Thank you all so much for your help! I was able to fix the cue execution time by changing the board general settings for GO Times to .01!

    Control/Dimming Issues with ETC Congo Kid Programming

    I tried doing a [.][1][time] but it just blanked the same as if I had reset it to 0. I figured that if I typed in 0 it just defaulted to the board default time for in/out. Today I will try to get to the board and try the [.][0][1][time]! Since I am rather new to this board and I am kind of...

    Control/Dimming Issues with ETC Congo Kid Programming

    I think I'm miscommunicating... I'm not actually loading any effects in the sense of the Cobalt software. The director has just asked me to have some specific lighting cues and the trouble lies in the cues not executing as fast I'd like them to. Although the issue isn't in the lighting fixtures...

    Control/Dimming Issues with ETC Congo Kid Programming

    I'm just running it as just a sequence of recorded presets -- channels x, y, and z at 70% for step 1 then step 2 those out and the back lighting at full essentially.

    Control/Dimming Issues with ETC Congo Kid Programming

    He guys, I was working on programming some basic cues (or sequences as they're called in Cobalt software) for my upcoming musical, Chicago. The director wants some lighting effects of just a general buildup of brightness through a dance number ending in essentially a RemDim of some red back...

    Help With DMX Converters

    My only concern is that the school district is really pushing for building a new school and really isn't interested in spending a whole lot of money, which is why I wasn't able to purchase the ION. Not to mention the program is pretty broke since we get a whopping $0 per year budget. Is there...

    Help With DMX Converters

    I believe the dimmers are Strand Lighting (they're extremely old and the paperwork on them is long gone). The NSI did have the microplex outputs but the only output coming out of the board was a 4 pin cable out of the DMX OUT port that went a foot or two over into the wall outlet. The NSI and...

    Help With DMX Converters

    Unfortunately (or rather not so unfortunately) my old NSI MC 7532 died a few days ago. I was able to convince the school principle to purchase me a new board and we managed to settle on an ETC Congo Kid (refurbished). I was really pushing to purchase an ION, although that was just outside the...
