    Time tracking punch card for shop

    Ive used Time Clock ST for the iPad with great success. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/timeclock-st/id385234321?mt=8 You create users and pins, and they clock in and out quickly and easily. As an admin you can adjust times, edit times, etc. and export lots of data to an email.

    Social Media Feed On Screen

    A site I've used is www.TwitterFall.com. Great options for full screen display, menus, etc go away. Can have multiple search terms based on a username or word using a hashtag. Also has "exceptions" where you can filter the stream with words that you dont want to see. Free and fun to use!

    Broadway Lighting Systems

Here's an example: http://livedesignonline.com/rocky-broadway/stage-version-rocky-lighting-plotsAnother great place with some fun to look at info...

    How To Setup Timecode?

    Using software like QLab could work also. It will generate time code in real time. Plus can play back audio and video. I use it with a Presonus Audiobox 1818VSL, this has MIDI out that goes to the lighting console and multi audio out for tracks. You could also use something like the MOTU...

    Control/Dimming ETC Unison preset playback

    I have an ETC Unison control module with entry stations, lcd touch screen, etc. in our theatre. I would like to have one of the presets in the Unison system playback at a specific time of day. For example at 6pm the lobby lights turn on, which is Preset 4. I've looked around in the Unison...

    Flashlight recommendation

    Here's my favorite. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-2000004486-Coleman-Max-3AAA-LED-RWB-Flashlight/13029917 Has very bright long distance spot, and easily switches to red and blue led.

    Control of computer via DMX

    I have used the keystroke before. It's a great concept, but went away when I went to a mediaserver for playback. Now the computer running Arkaos takes Artnet over the network. If I remember correctly there were some quirks to deal with using keystroke. Jumping cues or even going backwards could...

    Good deal or not? Used 1KL instruments.

    I'm glad to know others also have the same feelings I have toward these fixtures. I always hated the shutter design. Though I do like the way the lens housing opens easily with the two latches, makes for easy cleaning. I have about 60 of these in 20/40 zoom and 12 degree. Not in the current...

    Gaff Gun

    My GaffGunn arrived on Friday! It's very well packaged and designed. The product feels very sturdy and made from quality materials and design. I think its a great idea. I ordered the whole kit, with the various sizes of cable guides and tape adapter core sleeves. They sell their own tape with a...

    Vertical Rigging

    I have something that might work. A varation of an Altman ladder type frame. We had them made, for a lot cheaper, to do this same kind of setup. If you're coming down here tomorrow I can show you!

    Design Movie theater looking lighting for musical

    Here's one option that doesn't require any cue fx programming, might work on a non-dim circuit too. http://www.faketv.com/ A small led box to mimic the light from a TV in your house while you're away. Might be a possible solution for you. Not sure how real it will look on a stage though...
