My babies… yeah, 4x 24v circuits. You could drive pretty decent LEDs, but may not compete with other house lighting.

Hi, I heard the bat signal go off. As a local, I’d be happy to chat @Loren97.

I can be one of those voices. I went to school for theatre. I went to Ithaca College (Ithaca, NY. "Higher above Cayuga's waters than that other school... Cornell). While generally considered a liberal arts school, Ithaca almost always ranks in the top 10 undergrad theatre programs. I believe it...

Shameless plug... You can also call us at TAIT, we do automated rigging as well. We are likely going to be on the higher end of the price range, but rock solid systems. We can do simple linesets and custom solutions for any of your potential needs.

Well, to follow up: The response i got from Gantom is that they do terminate the chain. However, they way they phrased their messge to me makes me wonder if they didn't really understand what I meant by termination (which would be problematic). Their message text below:The problem I have...

Yeah, I emailed them, just thought the booth might have a faster response time.

Hey friends, does anyone know if the Gantom DMX fixtures (specifically the GT22) have DMX termination or not? This could significantly affect the topology of a system I am setting up with them.

In the US, 120/208. Much more useful for other things besides motors, like moving lights or portable dimmers.

Ultimately, it comes down to what you thing you are going to need to run. It is possible to run some pretty decent sized machines on 120/208 with 30A service. We certainly build a lot of machines in that class. However if you need to move heavy things or accelerate fast (or both) you may need...

TAIT has officially announced the acquisition of Kinesys. http://www.taittowers.com/2019/06/03/kinesys-joins-the-tait-group-of-companies/ Very soon you should be able to find native Navigator support for Kinesys products, and Kinesys will help to develop new navigator product in the future.

Well, that exists in the ML controls screen. On a touch screen, it would effectively be the same as a trackpad.

Controlling P/T ona trackball was the native mode of operation for the Strand 300/500 series consoles. While it seems like a wonderful idea, it is far less precise than dual rotary encoders. Ultimately, you feel like you should be able to whip a trackball around and have the fixture just get...

From one of your (well, not you personally, but Verity) friends at TAIT, welcome to ControlBooth. Hope we see you guys on another project!

The reality is, while we have been using networking in the industry for a while, it is still a bit of black magic to many. I know you don’t want a list of books, but even in print there are not too many options that relate directly to our field. Entertainment networking is really pushing the...
