Thanks for the replies guys.I took out the gobo and let it run for about a half hour, and eventually it stopped smoking. I put the gobo back in, and about a minute after doing so it started smoking a lot more than before. I took the gobo out, and it stopped. I'm worried it may be burning...

It seems like common sense to me that conventional fixtures need to burn off dust and such the first time they're used, but generally how long does this take and how much smoke should I expect? I turned on my new S4 jr today with the aim of letting it run for about an hour to project a gobo for...

I could tell, I wouldn't think it would just leave it shorted to the power line. He got it with his phone camera somehow though. I think it was taken after they had faded out about half way.

Yeah they were extremely bright. I'm convinced I need to get one of them for my personal DJ rig now. After doing a smaller dance today with my personal rig, I got depressed when I didn't have 3 strobe detonator buttons to fire during the drop :lol:I used the blinder once when the DJ wanted to...

I'm considering getting one of these for simple PA design. I plan on using it to measure the average sound level in the venue to both determine optimal speaker placement for coverage, as well as compare the average sound level at various events to use as reference for events I design the system...

So, after using these guys I thought I would update the thread in case anyone else is interested. I used 3 of the Atomics - 1 un the floor under the upstage truss for strobing the whole stage, and 2 on top of the downstage truss for firing at the audience. They were using MAX-7 lamps, 12/3...

To err on the side of caution I swapped out the atomic circuits to 20A independent now. I'll ask about the cable gauge, but I'm assuming it will be 12/3.I'm keeping it at 120, as per what the manual says. According to Martin, the MAX-7 is recommended to be used in the 90-120V range.

Thanks for the replied guys.Currently I have a dedicated 15A circuit for each strobe, not entirely sure what gauge cable is being run to them, power is being provided by a group internal to my university (RIT tech crew, for those wondering) and I don't think I can have direct control over...

It's pretty specific to my setup right now (Tascam FW-1082 in Mackie Universal mode), and depends on the window being the right size so that the faders are using the large fader image. Theoretically though since I put in functionality to do midi mapping, you can map any desk that uses control...

It literally takes screenshots of the fader bank in the window, using image processing algorithms to track the locations, and sends window messages to it so it thinks that the mouse is moving and buttons are being pressed, based on what's coming in from the control surface. It also sends...

I'm just going to drop here that as a temporary solution, I wrote a program that lets me control MqPC from my MIDI control surface. So far it's been working nicely and should keep me busy until I can afford a PC Wing.

Going to be using 3 Atomic 3000 at an upcoming event, and I was wondering if anyone has used both the MAX15 AND MAX7 lamps at their recommended voltages and can explain the difference in light output between the 2? The way Martin's website and the manual read, it seems like they have the same...

I have these now: http://globaltruss.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ItemNumber=266&MainId=9&Category=16which are also rated for 35mm. I tried using these on a rod of diameter 1.5" and it wouldn't fit.

Reopening this because I've come across another problem:Due to the expanding size of my lighting system I plan on purchasing a mobile trussing system (currently looking at the Odyssey LTMTS1-PRO). I can only seem to find mobile trussing systems such as that which have 1.5" diameter pipes, but...

I have yet to find a tutorial or explanation on how to do this and I seem to be having trouble getting this set up.I do not have a wing so I need to use MagicQ Mediacentre to stream the timecode. So far I was able to get Mediacentre up and running with Winamp and it shows that it is streaming...
