    Remagnetizing Hall Sensor Magnets

    Hey everyone! I'm running into an epidemic of sorts. Seems like my magnets are dying left and right. I don't know why, and I'm working with Robe on trying to figure that out, but in the meantime, I want to come up with a solution for remagnetizing the dead magnets. I've so far tried doing so...

    Asset Tags?

    I'd like to revisit this topic. I'm trying to go the Lightwright route and be able to print labels, but I too do not want them coming off easy. Peel and stick labels I imagine are probably fine on my movers (in an indoor venue where our lights rarely move).My thought for the lekos was a...

    Making the audio desk send low signal always

    That was the direction I was going. I attempted to assign the oscillator to all of my outputs and setting it to a low level sinewave, but I quickly found out that it will not default to output on startup, so that was out.Additionally I've been thinking I could put a tone generator in one of...

    Making the audio desk send low signal always

    So I'm in a pickle. The audio rig I'm working on was previously somewhat controlled by a Crestron system, but after it bit us too many times we pulled all the Crestron out of the system. We have D&B D10, D30, and D80 amplifiers. The audio desk is a CL5, in between all of it is a redundant Dante...

    What to do with a cyc and no fly space.

    I've got a similar issue on my hands. We have a 43' fly, but our cyc and scrim are both 29' high. Unfortunately, due to having only 19 linesets, we don't have the option to trip anything. Ideally we would just want to shorten both of them just enough to match where our borders sit, around 20'. I...

    The Best of the Worst Lights

    I'd like to keep it under $50 a unit. I'm shooting for quantity to compensate for output

    The Best of the Worst Lights

    I'm wondering who has done any extensive testing of Chinese par fixtures on the low end. I'm looking to purchase some for personal use when I'm in spaces where I only have dimmers and want some degree of color control. Does anyone have any leads on the "better" Chinese fixtures?Before...

    Hog 4 PC Network over sACN or Art-Net

    I've been playing around with it, and got the MagicDMX interface. I like it! It's a little strange to get used to from ETC and Hog syntax, but I'm slowly getting used to it. I'm teching this show on Saturday, so I'll have to see intuitive it is when I get into a full day of programming. I love...

    Design Lighting a choir loft for easier reading

    Well, Moose (I'm also Moose), floppy pages and thumb shadows are gonna be a problem no matter how you light those books. Lighting straight from the top is your best bet for getting their books lit without being concerned about shadows from their bodies, heads, etc.Any way you can get the...

    Broken Ethercon Connector Fix?

    So, I was being stupid, taking a panel off a Delta 3000 fogger, and in taking off the panel with the Ethercon port, didn't think to unscrew the thing. Noticed all the pretty pins and thought nothing of them, and demolished them when I was putting it back on. I realize now how incredibly stupid...

    Do you know of any other cheap solutions that might work for me?

    Hog 4 PC Network over sACN or Art-Net

    So, I'm in a pickleI'm going to be designing (which around here means being an entire lighting crew) a show, and I really need/want every intelligent fixture we have for this show, but some dumb scheduling has left me with an express, where I was planning on a Hog 3. I've been running Hog 3 PC...

    Good student visualizer and whole hog magic sheets?

    Two questions I've got for the community.Does anyone know of any good visualizer software with a preferably free student version? I've played with Capture but the student fixture library was downright pitiful. And I didn't realize until repeatedly truing to update my fixture library that...

    Home-made dimming?

    I'm ordering a copy now. Some reading will definitely be helpful as I'm sure I'll start to run into things that I don't know how to fix *yet*. Thank you for the reference.I'm definitely going to have to start digging through gel storage and see what all we have buried. Considering we have a...
