    Splitting signals for monitors

    i guess im a person who likes my cable runs REALLY neat and it just seams cleaner looking then y splitts and is better for tracing cable runs because the plug into that channel on the snake is still in the same location just 3 inches up and all the split off cables can be bundled together nicely...

    Splitting signals for monitors

    For another way to add a splitter thats is a bit more expensive then just adding another multi cable inside the snake box but is cleaner looking and is more organized then simple splitter cables, you could buy a simple metal male to female xlr adapter which is basically two plugs in one metal...

    How to use crown pcc-160

    from my experience with careless actors, the mic might actually have survived. it is common practise that when ever we lay down a pcc mic, we put a peice of tape across the from and back, holding the mic securely to the stage.

    0-10V lighting desk

    i considered doing a complete A B scene set up but decided to go with small dip switches. On my board there is a row of 6 faders to control individual channels and then a row of 3 scenes with each scene having one slider that can be considered a master with it's output being routed via a dip...

    Curtain call for crew?

    the only time which the entire tech crew has come out for curtain call was during a kalidescope show because of the less formal nature of it. i think that the director and td can thank the techies well enough with a good thank you or box of chocolates behind stage after the show. Our actors will...

    Effects control

    the one problem which i have been informed of with the use of triacs, is that they are not compatible with flourescent tube ballasts, even when simply used as switches. do you know if this is true? our theatre uses many of these for things such as blacklights and even sometimes when in a bind...

    Effects control

    we now also have a switching box connected up to half of our dimmers that allows us to switch between 2 completly seperate wiring layouts. this again is controlled by 12v relays but we have not had a use for is and have not yet adapted it to be controled from the booth via the snake, or be...

    Effects control

    just thought id ask how people control their special effcets such as a disco balls or normal flouresent tubes, anything elctronically controled. our theatre doesnt have the capability to use our dimmers as relays so weve rigged up control wires in the audio snake (until we run a seperate line)...

    Video Projection

    our school has got a very outdated projector with very degraded images and for some presentations, it would be nice to just set a portable projector (like the type used in an office) on our front catwalk and project onto the screen. does anyone know about the signal quality of a video signal...
