    Console OS

    Very Cool. That's about what I thought, My Boss asked me to do some digging, and I've been playing around with Linux a bit myself, so i thought it would be a good question for the Forum. I've heard that Hog was not a huge fan of Windows. Even though from what I can tell ETC is loving it right...

    Quick Question, Does anybody know if the Original Operating System Kernel for ETC/ Strand/ Hogg and MA consoles? Was it Free BSD, or was it A Purchased DOS? I Know that The Express Line was DOS baised, but any extra information in this realm would be useful. thanks!

    Control/Dimming ION searching for master

    I've only seen that happen when logged in as a client. And only really on an RVI. ETC tech support sounds like the way to go. Good luck. Hope you figure it out.

    Reasons not to get cheap moving head lights

    To expound a little on what JD was saying, quality assurance is a big consideration. I was speaking to a sales Rep from one of the major companies a few days ago, and he pointed out that he was having trouble with certain manufactures sending his company bad parts. He mentioned that out of an...

    Design The Crucible Lighting Designing

    Hi there Charley. I'd make a quick suggestion of reading over the script and taking notes. Try to get an idea of color for each scene over all. Really pay attention to the imagery in your head as you read the script, and write it down even if it seems a little weird. As you read a scene...

    Operating Budgets - Recommendations

    This is a rather large Question. it's not that people are trying to hide numbers from you it's just that it's really very hard to say. First off there is no standard, set answer.

    Cat5 Over Ceiling

    Rick, Thanks, that makes a lot more sense. Section 400.6 lists the markings on all flexible cords and cables and I usually assume that is what 400.8 is making reference to. And please forgive my suggestion of a network switch, I was also confused about the difference between CAT-5 and...

    Cat5 Over Ceiling

    I"m with josh, on this. I run DMX on unshielded Cat-5 on a regular basis, with little to no issues. Rick, I would be willing to believe that you might be dealing with an issue of distance rather then of shielding. If that's the case, and You still have access to the space, then what might not...

    Fire Breathing effect for large dragons

    This sounds dangerous. Very dangerous. Honestly, I think that any advice you are looking for in this realm is going to violate the forums rules on posting. Have you thought of any non flammable options such as confetti cannons, and fan driven streamers? Even hydrotechnics. ( think two High...
