Hey everyone, So I have recently come into a fortunate position where my high school administration has actually decided to help redo the entire sound system within my current high school theater. The numbers have fluctuated anyone from a twenty five thousand dollar overhaul to an eighty...

Just heard about this forum a couple of weeks ago and figured that I would stop by and see what it is all about.I am a High School technical theater and photography teacher in Colorado with a BA in Technical Theater (Scenic Design Emphasis) and a MA in Curriculum and Instruction. Having worked...

LXPlot, Thanks for the help! After getting the address from the lighting fixture and figuring out that the moving light was run through the 2nd DMX Out as opposed to the first we managed to get things up and running.Thanks again!
