We have 4 channels of BTR-800 in our blackbox com rack. It's not working these days, due to deferred maintenance, but it was hooked to our 2W Clearcom, and reportedly worked fine, so I infer compatibility.

Well, specifically concerning the Crow, the direct fault was clear, it was Lee's mishandling of the pistol -=- maybe based on insufficient training and prep, sure, though I don't recall hearing that -- and it was he who was dead, so there was no one to charge.You *might* assume that because of...

Those are the syntax of how you write the cue on the QLab side, then? Cause my guy who does that only ever writes the OSC /slash/path/string...

It is if you're a Junior College, and they don't really *care* how the show looks. :-}Otherwise, you have to bake it into Capital Improvement, and that's an annual thing with even steeper justifications...

Wait. EOS sends *11 OSC messages* on a GO?Also... oh, wait. I see. You send that filter command *in the OSC port*, and then EOS executes it. Got it.@Zebetz: You already know this?

Yup. You should never do a firmware update over a wireless connection, unless you're sure the device is smart enough to put the file in a temp and CRC it before switching over to it.

Yup; that's the same thing that Shokz dongle is doing; appears as an audio interface, both ways.Got mine; there's a very small delay when it's coming up from idle, I saw maybe a frame of mismatch from audio to video.

FWIW, I used to work in a Deaf community service company, and one of our employees was a volunteer terp at the local PAC, and they did what someone here notes: terps SR to the edge, people who needed to watch them seated HL in the first 3 rows or so; only 2 performances in the run.WADR to the...

See, that was what I thought too: the RGB was a "hint" to the fixture, which is recasting it into 4 or 6 color elements (depending on which fixture it was).

We've looked at getting 208/240 receptacles installed on our stage (for an Atomic 3000) and in our adjacent stage shop (for a newer circular saw that requires it), and -- given that the power room is on the other side of the floor, and our college does not have a staff electrician, the informal...

I've been guessing that the believe the lifetime cost of batteries that janitorial can swap in is lower than the cost to have a plumber and an electrician touch each restroom.My college building, one of 6 on one of 5 campuses, has 8 bathrooms, with a total of 12 sinks and 17 or so toilets; the...

Kind of.These automatic faucets, as near as I can tell, are "reflected IR". They beam out intermittent pulses from an IR LED, and when they get a likely looking curve in the response, they turn on the solenoid and flow premixed water. Same thing on the toilet flushers.Early models ran off...

I'm trying to convince them to swap everything out with LED frosted, for btuh reasons, but I haven't made the sale yet...This just handed to me: I won't; our dancers use those lamps for heat.

Any single channel DMX profile ought to work. Unless you're Ben.

We've rented a Smoke Factory Tour-Hazer II for our last couple dance shows and it's been *very* nice to work with; self contained, very good about fog per juice, 120V, DMX, self-cleaning when you shut it off; they're under $2k and we're thinking about buying one. It doesn't really *quite* need...
