    Fastfit and HRI lamp wrench 2022-03-12

    Small and flat tool to assist in removing and installing lamps in fixtures that use FastFit type lamps or HRI lamps.I designed this for use with Vipers, Megapointes and Sharpy's, but it would likely work on many other lamps like those in VL4000 and such.The forked end is for the...

    True1 truss dock 4

    This is a contoured dock designed to fit standard truss tube or 2" pipe. attach with zipties through the two small holes. A true1 female connector can then insert and lock into place to prevent it from hanging down where it might be in the way or in danger of snagging.I specifically designed...

    Control/Dimming Martin M-PC and ETCnet2 problem

    I managed to determine it was the DMX Mark After Break rate of the ETC Net2 4 port node. For some reason the 2 port and 4 port node have significantly different MAB rates and when I used a Two port node in another ballroom the flicker was non existent. So I programmed a 2port for the room I had...

    Control/Dimming Martin M-PC and ETCnet2 problem

    Still happens running off of battery power.Doesn't seem to be a way to shut off RDM, but as far as I can tell, It is a manual rdm search, it doesn't do it real time, the operator has to initiate a scan. Though it does warn that initiating RDM scan will interrupt DMX. But scheduling is turned...

    Control/Dimming Martin M-PC and ETCnet2 problem

    It is direct into the laptop. I have tried USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. I'm not convinced it's USB related because the problem has occurred in full lighting consoles. I was just told this problem had occured with ETC Smartfades as well. Which is odd.I think it has to do with Baud rate or signal...

    Control/Dimming Martin M-PC and ETCnet2 problem

    Actually, I don't think that's it. I have used the system to control moving lights and the theatrical fixtures before, and never had this issue, even when the console wasn't touched for an hour or so. It's just when I add in the architectural lights.

    Control/Dimming Martin M-PC and ETCnet2 problem

    Hmmm. I'll check that, but i'm inclined to disagree since the maxxyz compact and chamsys also had a similar problem.

    I Need Help with our Meatracks!

    Reggie, I guess i don't understand why we would need the bars to be removable or adjustable? Were just gonna keep the Rota's with our rigging stuff i guess, although we now have way too many, and that's just from one cart! And yeah, The caster's really do need to be larger. We were so...

    I Need Help with our Meatracks!

    Re: What?Well, we about finished the prototype rack today, just gotta add a couple more welds and paint it! The idea of bolting the pipes on was scratched in favor of welding them directly to the frame, so there is really no going back. However, i don't think they'll be much heavier, or really...

    I Need Help with our Meatracks!

    What?Im having trouble understanding what your saying, I think i would need a diagram, drafting, or picture to see what your getting at. Sorry, but your sentances just don't make a whole lot of sense. Any type of road box is going to be far too heavy and too limited for the amount of...
