Yup. As has been said you want to have separate breaks. The easiest thing to do is probably to start off with the generic dimmer personality. Once you're in that, click new to add a new attribute line and pick from the list the one which suites you best. (You can also create your own attributes...

The first thing I'd say to check is to just check the mode of the Colorado's matches that of the console. It may sound daft but it is possible!So just to clarify - you essentially only want control of the intensity on the submaster?Have you tried using "Record Only" and recording just the...

As has been said really - there's no point upgrading a show just for the sake of it!Phantom in the West End still has (or did when I went to see it a year or so ago if I remember correctly!) Strand Patten 123's 23's, 743's and lots of old strand kit. I couldn't see a Source 4 - certainly not...

Re: Software queationStage Technologies - Nomad Stage Command System - PRG KinesysThere's a few systems to have a quick look at.

Hi Aaron,Welcome!I've just checked on my version of Magic Q and it does indeed seem that the Open DMX interface is no longer supported. The Pro version is, but the open version is not listed under the interfaces.You may be able to download an older version of the software which does still...

See I've just heard something else from someone I know. Mr Jim Laws - Strand expert in the UK and has loads of strand (and other older) lighting kit. Including a Light Organ from Drury Lane Theatre! He said the two holes at the back were for ventilation and the lamp sits base down in the 763/764...

It sounds like there may be a blockage in the pipe somewhere - I assume everyone knows to turn the haze off first, let it finish doing it's thing, and then switch power off? Switching power off whilst it's hazing can sometimes cause blockages.It does indeed self clean which is why you get the...

USB - DMX Wise - what about the Chamsys Magic DMX Pro? I think it's the cheapest USB - DMX device out there!I know recently the software has changed slightly and I can't remember if there's a time limit of 5 hours if you're not using the Magic DMX Pro (or other Chamsys) hardware. I know they...

I don't have any experience with the 560 (although I know a venue near me that does have some) but I use the Q Spot 260 an awful lot. A rental house here in the UK I freelance for owns a load. The only slight issue with them (I believe the 560's use the same LED's as the 260 but instead use 3 of...

Hi there!I assume you're running Hog 3?If so - what effects do you require that the built in ones can't provide? Have you checked the High End forums - that might be worth a look at too.

I'm afraid the Zip doesn't appear to be working properly.Certainly on my PC (Win 7) it says that the compressed folder is actually empty?

I stand corrected!However don't expect the quality of build to be very high or for them to last very long. Is it for just one production - if so is renting an option? How many are you looking to buy too? Dimming wise I imagine it'll be very steppy and I have no idea what the colours will be...

There isn't currently a personality in the library which will work 'nicely' with your LED cans that you have.I think the first thing to do would be to drop an e-mail to Chamsys (with the manual too) and get them to build a fixture profile for you. They'll also then be able to help you patch it...

I honestly don't think you'll get a DMX Zoom LED can (especially a tri version) for around that sort of money. That equates to roughly £200 GBP I'd say and I know I wouldn't get anything decent for close to that money!The colorado zoom cans may be your best bet (nice and bright, good colours)...

1) No idea!2) Truthfully no idea but I would guess at because it was made to originally hold a larger lamp. (I know lots of the old strand kit was certainly this way before many of them got converted for T18/25 or T26/27).3) Made by Strand Electric! Over here in the UK that green colour is...
