I could have sworn I was using network cues without a QLab license just a couple of months ago, but I went in the other day and I was shocked to find they now require a license (of any type).When did this start?

From Leviton:The drawings indicate that the system is a Leviton Macro dimming system. Macro dimming systems were custom designed for the site where they are installed. The DMS control stations for it are obsolete and are no longer available. There is no provision for this system to be...

Definitely no DMX. I have opened the cabinet before. Could you elaborate more on how a diode on the 0-10 line would mean I wouldn't have to disconnect it?I've looked at that before. As said before, it appears that all these cabinets are built to specification. This one lacks the digital...

A) If possible, give a tour of the space and just share common information about how everything works.B) While you're in a position, keep notes about weird quirks in everything (e.g. dimmer 21 only functions about 50% or whatever) - keep these in a notebook or a google doc. I like Google Docs...

It's not AMX... It's not MPX... It's not Luma-Net... It's not Micro-Plex. Nope, it's Leviton's weird control standard. I'm working at a school that had the Macro Dimming System installed (modular cabinet, convection cooled, no fans, by Leviton). Instead of installing an industry standard (and...

Hello all -I need to relamp some mini ellipses. According to the data sheet, I have a couple of different options. I assumed I'd want the 500W (120) lamp, but when I started to google, there are what I can only call "tall" and short "lamps" that otherwise appear to be the same.Tall example...

Thanks for all your feedback. I (as most do with smaller budgets and less than ideal venues) live in a world where I never have the luxury of a backup or doubled fixture, but also never have the budget or can justify relamping before something blows.

Silly question - but I'm curious.When do you guys replace the lamps in your conventional fixtures? Do you want till it blows? Do you try to predict how many hours are on it and replace it before it would blow? Is there a way to tell when it's nearing end of life?Thanks

Hmm... with all that said, is there anything useful I can do with solid besides using it for installation runs?

Solid

First off - I've read that building a snake from the ground up is generally discouraged because the amount of work and the price of components typically makes it not worth it.I get that - but I have most of the raw materials and a very small budget. I've got a leftover spool of 24 AWG shielded...

So our HS auditorium is the process of being renovated (Finally!!!). The other day, they pulled down the raceways from the electrics (yep, everything was fixed) and asked us what we want to do with them. Since they had to pull them down on a scissor lift, we now have two raceways (40'ish, 2P&G...

I have a couple or Crown CL series amps that were pulled out of their rack because they went into protect mode 10-15 minutes into running. My theory is that they are overheating (I'm curious as to if the fan is being activated, as I've tested the fan outside the amp and it works), but what's the...

So at this point, I'm trying to calculate costs and weigh the pros and cons of the different ways I could go.If I buy the materials for a DI box, it will probably cost around $25-30, considering we already have some jacks lying around. Additionally, it becomes a learning experience for...

Okay, I spent another hour or so looking around, and I found a few more products. Would either of these work? The prices are much more reasonable, and it appears they both have a .5w or .25w tap.http://www.fullcompass.com/prod/136739-Quam-TBLUhttp://www.mouser.com/ds/2/177/5c0056-48788.pdf...
