All their other paints have rollon application. Its a little more affordable than screen goo and I've...

    Additionally what inputs do you have on the screens? Is there a "thru" output on the screens that would let you daisychain them together? Are you making an old system work or are you looking to purchase a new system?

    QLab MIDI Control of Strand MX

    I also have made this work. Unfortunately we discovered a bug in the ETC board software that is currently out that defeats a MIDI input, but I am assured by ETC tech support that they are looking into it. The SmartFade 4896 has a MIDI IN that we routed from Qlab using a MOTU Ultralite MkII...

    TV Modulators

    For longer video runs you need to amplify your signal. How long is the able run between the video source and the video feed that is giving poor quality? Also, what type of cable are you running along?

    Computer and software for theater projection

    If you have Isadora experience and being that you are a dance company I highly suggest developing further on that track. You can very likely get the discount from Mark for being a non-profit which brings a full Izzy license down to just around ~$250 I would reccomend Qlab only for those...

    Daylight Projection

    The best way to go about it if you want to use projectors is to utilize short-throw projectors (you can get them now for about $1k ~ $1.5k apiece) and directly overlap their images. You can set them on top of each other and use the image settings to line up the projection images. You also want...

    Upwards of 200' video run, from camera to booth to projector.

    Simple answer, you need a video Balun. KeyDigital and Geffen are both companies that make them. They transmit your video over a Cat5 cable and reincode it at the other end. Much cheaper than trying to buy the cable itself in a 200' length.One example:Gefen, LLC - Composite Video Extender

    Video Wall Using Projectors

    I just finished doing a few things like this for Enron and a local production of Sweeney Todd. There are two ways to go about it. You can "edge blend" in software and hire a media editor to use AfterEffects to build a template that fits your edge blending (Isadora is a program that I highly...

    QOTD: Pencil style voltage testers

    I'm curious too. My guess is that there is a certain amount of electrical voltage in older dimmers that is present for one of two reasons:A.) to provide a voltage "sensing" current before digital feedback was implemented.orB.) the voltage present falls into the category of noise, and as...
