    GVP4096 LED Video Moving Head Art-Net Problems

    Hi all,I have recently purchased 2 x GVP4096 LED Video Moving Heads for a production I am designing. Photos attached. They are basically a 64x64 RGB LED video panel attached to a moving head yoke.I have managed to set up the DMX portion of the fixture into the lighting console and I can...

    Express channels, DMX, and strobes

    So here is my guess since I’ve never used that brand of fixture before...Once powered, the fixture’s electronics take about 5 minutes to “warm up” much like a fogger or hazer. But once that 5 minutes has passed, other than tube duty cycle, the fixture should keep running regardless of the...

    Express channels, DMX, and strobes

    Hey there,A couple things are being left off that are kind of important. And a couple that aren't important, but definitely are worth doing to keep your programming world clean (images attached):1) Anything you are not using DMX-wise, UNPATCH. So, if you only have 48 dimmers, go to PATCH and...

    Element 60-250 programming question...

    Just gonna add one thing that’s rather important in this scenario...On ETC Eos line consoles (Element, Ion, Gio, Eos), the console needs to be in tracking mode or your cues must be recorded with tracking for this to work.If you use the console normally in “cue only” mode, you can easily...

    ETC EOS Admin Account

    Just want to clarify that if you should "brick" or make your console's OS stop working properly (whichever you choose to call it), ETC will NOT send you the OS to re-install. You will have to take the console to a certified ETC rep or send it back to the factory to have it restored. A saying I...

    Ion offline Timing Disable?

    Hey RH, yeah I saw the same key command code in the offline nomad, but it wouldn't work for me either. I had to rush it this morning and only tried once to get the macro recorded to no avail. Would you mind emailing me an empty show file with that macro?

    Ion offline Timing Disable?

    Thanks, Dan. I will most likely have to do it that way tomorrow when I am in front of the console again. Offline, I do not have access to the same buttons that are physically on the console. Even using the TIMING DISABLE softkey will not actually load that information into the fader without the...

    Ion offline Timing Disable?

    Hey all,Well, Santa was good to me this year. I received a fully programmable 144 key keyboard for Christmas. Obviously, this is intended to allow easier programming offline or remotely from the console.Using the Eos Hotkeys documentation, I was easily able to program 99.9% of the keys I...

    Automated Fixtures Express(ion) personality split course and fine?

    I have some Chinese LED moving heads that have their course and fine attributes separated by other attributes.This is not an issue on an Ion, as you can assign any "channel" in your profile to do whatever you want. But I will be using them on an Express(ion) console in a few weeks and would...

    Playing two sound cues simultaneously?

    Our company (3 stages plus tours) has used both PC and Mac software. So here is my run-down for you...SFX for PC is great. Yes, as mentioned before, not free. But definitely a good program that plays many cues out of multiple outputs. Our systems were all 12 channel sound cards and we were...

    The new thread on labeling gel

    You are definitely correct, Gaff, however...I have cut frost (R119 or R132) for a lot of our Source 4's and after 2-3 years it is still not saturated with the colours previously used with it. In fact, frost will pretty much last a super long time if it lives in it's own frame against the lens...

    The new thread on labeling gel

    So here is our scoop on things... 1) Gel is always numbered when cut 2) Gel is numbered in the top center of the opening (no larger than an average thumb size) - so they can be seen from the stage floor 3) Gel is never numbered in the center, regardless of sharpie or china marker, as it...

    Control/Dimming Cabling from dimmers to fixtures

    Thanks JD,Actually, I believe what these lost, misguided soles are after is doing the upgrades themselves hahaha. They are not just walking in, making broad comments and then walking away expecting us to fix it.This is why I am hunting for exact clarification on the BC electrical code for...

    Control/Dimming Cabling from dimmers to fixtures

    Hahahaha...Wow, that actually made me laugh! Thanks Kyle.Out of the 40-odd circuits currently located in the patch bay, no...there are no breakers on anything. There are UG male tails of approximately 3 feet each hanging waiting patiently to be plugged into a dimmer (the packs sit beside...

    Control/Dimming Cabling from dimmers to fixtures

    Tk2k,I know without photos it is difficult to make things clear. But I shall do my best and hopefully it will be easier to understand.The school owns 2 x ETC Sensor 24x2.4kw dimmer PACKS (not racks hardwired). These dimmer packs have 24 UG duplex outlets on them and the packs are connected...
