I've been looking for an answer to this one as well. Many throat mic sets use condenser mics, which cannot work with clear-com. You need a dynamic mic, or else you have to build a little 9v power supply doodad taped to the XLR connector. There are tutorials on how to do so out in the...

When creating a custom fixture, some of the parameters in the list is user 1 through user 20. Is there a way to rename these? There is no straight "speed" or "rate" parameter, which is weird, and I would love to change this. Ion OS v. 1.9 (waiting on the end of our rapid-changeover season to...

My distros use 3x 20amp breakers that are not tied with common trip handles because A) each pack is only feeding 2 legs worth of leprecon dimmer, so only two legs are needed, and b) you can cut power to half of these dimmers safely. If the A-leg of the dimmer goes dead, it'll take the DMX...

Hey guys, thanks for all of your fast replies. These are square-d breakers from granger but I don't think they're rated for continuous use, so that might be part of it. I am using a true-RMA clamp around the specified legs within the panel in order to meter amp draw. I have to double check those...

So we put together a pair of distros that convert 30amp 3-phase to 3x 20amp circuits in order to power a set of Leprecon dimming packs. The distros aren't complicated: it's basically just a sub-panel with three Square D breakers in it. The problem is, the system keeps blowing the breakers at...

LED fixtures can be pretty dim especially when compared to natural sunlight, and can get washed out pretty badly even from architectural lighting (not to mention unless they're RGBW units, their version of "White" can make skin look really weird. If you have any conventional dimming...

This is such a bottom of the line MacBook that the only data ports on it are USB, sadly. The guys at Figure53 also seem to like gear from Canopus. I'll do some research into it. Thanks!

So I've never been able to get camera hardware to work quite properly with QLab, between S-video capture devices that randomly drop and other converters that Mac OS plain doesn't recognize. In using QLab to drive live video from a composite-out mixer (I would run straight out of the mixer if I...
