Forum, I am a high school designer preparing a two stop tour of our show to the national thespian conference. Because our show us only allowed a four hour load-in/set up time in the venue, I am pre-programming on my console ahead of time, and have encountered a tracking problem. I have...

I see the fuses and have looked at them.. They're 15A 250V. Do I need 16.8A 125V? That's how much power the manual says they will take. 20A 125V seems much more common...What should I replace them with?

Ok. Thank you very much. I'll have to work out the circuits.

I checked the manual. It says that the light will work on 125v, but says nothing about differences between it's performance on 125v rather than 208 persay. Is it just able to work on 125 for accessibility?

Dear Control Booth, My school recently aquired 10 mac 2ks. We rented a PD to provide them with 208v three-phase power last show, but to cut down on rental costs I'd like to run them on 125v. I have an adapter from edison to 125v 20A. What can go wrong powering the light with 125v? will it...

Thank you! I will definitely label everything, make as many palettes as possible and read those. I'm planning on playing around with the board for a while just to learn it, since that's better than just being told, but I've started watching the videos, and will read through the manual. Anyone...

Dear Control Booth, I am aware that you can't rush programming; To do it right takes time. That being said, I am a high school student, and my director jokes with me (half joking, sometimes) about the fact that I am a slower programmer than some. We're upgrading a lot for our upcoming...

Well... Those were Small Kid productions, at a nonprofit Camp over the summer.

Since my freshman year I have done: Wicked Frozen Les Miserables Rent How I Learned To Drive Our Town Annie SketchFest Wonderland Catch Me If You CanAnd this year we're doing: Addams Family Big Fish (Undecided Non-musical) (Undecided Small cast Play)

thank you @FMEng . We got everything unlocked in live mode, which was a bit of a hassle, but the color wheels work fine now. Another problem we're having is after 10 minutes-3 hours the lights go crazy. we have all 50 units on one universe, so we're going to try a DMX terminator, so we're gonna...

I'm working on a small scale show of Disney's "Frozen" and since it is small scale, we're using American DJ's My DMX Software to run 32 LED Units, 14 incandescent units and 4 moving lights. Everything was working perfectly (with the usual number of 1-2 hour bugs,) until all our LED RGB Pars...

That is a total possibility. I have many linked together. all it takes is a bit of backgroundknowledge, binary (or the internet), and a extremely small amount of time. easy. It's also what I suggest to my theater company for competitions and our occasional show that tours around to different...

Everything in theater really depends on the budget, but I have a household theater that some people may call big, but its small in my mind, and I have probably 4-5 simple DP-415 DMX boxes, and they are a really cheap fix, and all you need is a small elation board or somethin' to run it. When I...

Fresnels would work great! we just got some more fresnels, some are 6" and some are 8". the cotton batting is a great idea. I hadn't been able to find anything about truss back then, though I know they had very basic PARs and Fresnels. thank you very much for the Help and Ideas! the support...

Hello ControlBooth community, My high school is putting on a production of Our Town (1941), and I was wondering if you had any Ideas and techniques of old-looking truss for a period play inside the play. also, the play is for a theater competition, so the set-up time is minimal, (estimated...
