I do not know what voltage we are working at exactly but when I plug in an identical fixture the issue is not replicated, it is just these two that have the problem I believe. Perhaps an issue with the cabling?

I have two VL2500 Wash units connected to a pagoda, they will power on just fine but when I have them lamp on they will short the circuit, however, when connected to wall power they will lamp on just fine. The pagoda can handle a similar load just fine so I don't think that it is being...

I think at this point I am leaning towards two projectors side by side projecting one image across both of them to look as if it is one full image. Isadora looks nice and capable but I'm not sure if it is within the budget for the show. Is there any other software out there that will play videos...

You may have seen my post earlier this week about choosing a projector, I decided to make a new thread because I felt this addressed a different topic. I have two projectors that I want to project one continuous image onto, how should I go about doing that with VERY little budget?

Ok this is making sense now, by my calculations (done with a projection calculator) with the proposed projector I will get 8fL where as I am getting 58fL right now so that would be a huge difference. What unit is an fL exactly?

I've been working with a projector in the space that is 3,500 lumens and it is bright enough on the same screen I would be using with similar ambiant light. Obviously there is a difference between 2,500 lumens and 3,500, would it be a proportional difference, 5/7ths of the brightness or what?

Thank you for your advice! I ended up finding a physical DMX512 input behind a preset board but I will try the shownet output for the next production. Thanks again!

I am working a production with a very low budget and we want to do projections onto a screen roughly 18'x15' where we only have a 20' throw for the projector. I am looking at the BENQ MP515. Here are the specs: rightness (Lumens) : 2500 ANSI Contrast (Full On/Off) : 2600:1 Variable Iris...

I am working a show with a Strand 520i, I am not that familiar with the syntax of Strand consoles and I want to use my own system (Chamsys MagicQ PC) to run the show, it only has 5-pin DMX out and the theatre is wired with strands ethernet. I want to set up the 520i to take the dmx signal from...

Thanks for all the information and advice everyone. At this point I am thinking booms will be the best way to go for this installation. We are only using the space for 3 weeks so we can't really do any permanent or large scale modifications such as hanging a grid below the drop ceiling. What...

I need to attach about 10-15 lights to a ceiling, it is that kind that has panels and tracks, typical retail store style ceiling. I found these scissor clamps here the only problem being that we are on a very limited budget and probably can't afford these. Are there any cheaper ways to attach...

I'm mainly looking for something with a little more power than powerpoint or some media player. I don't want the tacky play icon in the side of the screen when the projection starts like I have seen happen too many times. Also, it would be really nice if there would be some way to control the...

Could you provide more information on the issue. Are you trying to export a worksheet to a pdf or just what is being viewed on your screen?

I'm lighting the exterior through the interior though I may light both. Our theatre has the huge windows in the lobby so I am going to do a lot through those with lights on the inside but designed to be viewed from the outside. There is also a large brick wall to the side of those windows that I...

If I may throw in my two cents. As gafftaper said talk to students, talk to everyone you can about the program learn about it from all different angles. If you schedule a visit email the faculty and ask to set up a meeting, in my experience almost all of them will be more than happy to sit down...
