    irregular shaped revolve

    Thanks for these suggestions MPowers and BrianWolfe. For Brian, I had thought about this option, but I worry that the amount of friction necessary to drive the wheel might be hindered by this setup. I have been in touch with Creative Connors and even with an edge drive option for a 40-foot...

    yeah that's where my mind keeps going, too. Then just use the 10k for beer. :)

    irregular shaped revolve

    Not pac-mac. A circle with flat edge. You are right that the upside down castors would work for the inner portion, but not for the edge. Rim drive won't work obviously. I have given some thought to a cable or chain but that would be complicated as well. There are times when: 1) the flat...

    irregular shaped revolve

    Here's something that just hit my desk. A 40' D-Shaped revolve. Essentially it is a circle with a third of it chopped off. It needs to rotate all the way around. Multiple times. Both directions. Multiple stopping points. Before I tell the designer he has to be joking... I thought I'd see...

    What sound mixer should I choose

    I just purchased a soundcraft si compact and it is a very nice console. if you have up to 10k i would definitely consider going with something like this or perhaps a yamaha LS9. I realize you may have some external processors, but getting something that has all of those capabilities onboard is...

    Electronic Prompt Book

    I wouldn't dare trust a computer (even my precious mac who only occasionally fails when photoshop, itunes, dreamweaver, are running and i decide to try to render a 3D video in vworks at the same time) during performance, but I do like the neatness of a printed-in-color prompt-book, without the...

    Rigging FUBAR

    although the cheapo jack chain they have would probably be ineffective......maybe they should just weld the doors shut!

    The cheapest controller on ebay

    Were you able to record and playback scenes? I thought that is what you were having problems with. No, there is no GO button at this price point. You record scenes which can be given a fade rate, and can then go from one scene to the next by simultaneously selecting the next scene and...

    The cheapest controller on ebay

    while this board may be a POS that you need to return, it may turn out to be decent enough for your purposes, just with bad instructions.It looks very similar to a board I recently had to acquaint myself with, made by Lightronics. The manual for the Lightronics board can be found here...

    Which emits more heat? PAR64 or ETC Parnel?

    lighting guy, while i'm sure Derek's info is accurate, he did not list the values for the PAR 64s with 500W lamps which I think misses the point. The 575W S4 Par(nel) has many advances, which cuts down on the heat coming through the lens. However, the S4 Par(nel) is also considerably shorter...

    Axial and Radial l ERS

    geez just trying to bust your chops. selecon pacific makes products that don't even have reflectors in them!but for the list of models you mentioned i'd have to go with axial.

    Axial and Radial l ERS

    i'm going to go with 'neither axial nor radial' for the kliegl.selecon pacific model no. is not specified so i'll go with: "a selecon pacific is a company"axial and radial refer to the point at which the lamp penetrates the reflector, respectively either inline with the foci or off to the...
