Hello all. I have a Strand Light Palette and a copy of Virtual Magic Sheet Beta 2. I have seen a video demonstrating how you can select something in virtual magic sheet and it selects it on the board. I see the Strand Palette console option in the Virtual magic sheet preferences, and I can see...

Recently several of our studio color 250's have been making an awful screeching noise when they change colors. Does anybody know of a fix for this?

Occasionally our Strand Palette blinks FACTORY in the lower right corner. When it is doing this there is minimal output from the console and it eventually requires a restart to get it working again. It will usually boot up into this issue. Has anyone else had this problem / found a way to fix...

I had a similar problem. One of my movers would never go to home or be controllable. Turns out I had accidentally bumped a sub master up just enough and I didn't even think to look at that until after like 20 minutes. XD

Thanks for the quick responses everyone.

In the theatre that I commonly work in we have one dmx line that goes to our dimmers and another that goes to the stage for some led's and movers. The board has two outputs that are both on the same universe. This board is becoming unreliable and the new board has only one output. Since...

Hello CBI have just obtained the chamsys MagicQ software and have gotten familiar with it over the course of the week. I was wondering if any other magicq users had any preferred layouts that they put on the 3 layout butons. I'm growing to like the rig plan and have been keeping it on its own...

Is there a way to create a cue or a multi part cue on the element to unpark a channel, dim it, bring it. back up, then park it again?

Recently our Mac 250s have been doing strange things when we pan or tilt them. The light shutters closed as it moves, and the shutter opens again when it finishes moving. This is for normal control since there are no cues yet. Is there an option somewhere that might have been turned on. We use...

Good First Light BoardThe company I work for is starting to grow. We have several moving lights and we have been controlling them with dmx controllers. What is a good reasonably inexpensive light board to start with. Either a board or software with a dongle. We use Mac computers and would...

I don't know if this is the thread that this should be in but I will ask here anyway. I am helping out with a show and in one scene, an actor has to fall off a five foot platform as if falling off a building. What would be the safe recommendation to break the fall preferably without the audience...

First off, I know you will all hate the brand, but there is an old dimmer rack that needs to be identified. It is made by Lehigh and it looks like an old sunburst rack. This rack was installed in the early 2000-2001 timeframe. Also, once its identified, if anyone has a link to a manual of some...

I don't plan on making one, I just want to know more about them.

Recently on a job, the company I was working with had an adapter for when there was no 3 phase for their amp rack. It was 3 edison plugs one one end and a 3 phase twist lock on the other end. The plugs plugged into 3 separate circuits and the 3 phase adapter went to there amp rack. I was...

This is just a suggestion since a similar problem happened to our facility yesterday. We have the c21 processor as well. Our facility runs five universes, It turned out to be another light board in our facility was patched to the same universe as the board we were using at the time and the...
