Hey All, Im in need of some help, I have been told by ETC to open up my desk and check the connections, but the manual they sent me is for the ETC congo. They said there they open up the same way but i cant seem to find a way to use the congo manual to open the ION. Im looking for a...

Yeh, Unfortunately, i just talked to the powers that be and have been told it must not only have three images, but it must be done from 3 projectors. Its to do with the way the dancers and the images interact apparently

Hey All, I am currently working on a Dance show that requires images to be projected onto the dances, I have one DVD that was going to be run into a Distribution amp, I was then going to run the identical split images into three Sony: VPL-CX105 Data projectors Spaced across the Setting Line...

+1 *Snap* And all that good stuff :) Btw, It looks like a good console, Might have to get uni to buy one to replace our Leap Frog (Which drives me up the wall when programming it, but is great in live mode)

We recently used a light box as part of a lit up picture. It was just a 500x500x100mm box with standard 75w incandecent fixtures. As for the image, we printed it onto transparent paper. Worked fine for the whole season (at about 30%.) At that intencity heat did not seem to be a problem...

As for why i need to do this, Its for university, Its part of my assment (Yeh, i have to print off basicaly 1 page for every cue, its a waste of time and effort, but i have to do it to pass) Unfortunatly i dont have access to the concole anymore, so just printing it off that way is...

Hey, I have just finished a show and need to print a State of the board (Cue by Cue, What happens) and all i have is a save of the show on floppy. I have tried to import it into an OLE with no sucess (Was then either going to print it, or take screen shots) Anyone know how to do this, or...

What we did at uni for our latest show (We did it because a actual low fogger was out of the question for various reasons) anyways, we got a normal fogger and put heavy fluid into it (Cant remember exactly what fluid) From there made an attachment that it sat on, it pushed the smoke down and...

A friend of mine worked on that show and they all had skin coloured body suits on, That worked for them (with the right lighting) Just my 2 cents :) Loki

Does anyone know how hard a Maxim L is to take appart and how complicated it is to do?I have to use it on a show next week but there is no time to get it serviced and its broken parts fixed, its VGA output is broken, i think its just loose and one of the faders is snaped off and im thinking of...

About 6 meters, I really could not believe when it still worked after all that

Yeh, that was fun.. Not.The whole LX crew sitting there between Act 1 Scene 3 to the interval (Over an hour) thinking, "Oh **** i hope that does not happen again" and "Oh **** i hope its not my fault"It was caused by a Flat being flown right next to an LX bar and nocking the light up and...

Answer to question of how far to keep people away: They should not be on the same property as somthing as dangerous as that!!! "It only leaks a little bit" does not cut it with gas, if you carry through with this plan, you can equate that proior quote to "My arm is only a little bit blown off"...

This is why at showcase we have sound guys in the wing who go onstage and position the mics for each individual number, it slows things down but cuts down the errors, Until we stuff it up.... Indeed, that is a bit slack :P Personaly i always re-battery, Turn them on and Tape the controls...

It would appear from that clip that both the Spotlight op and the rigger fail, that would have been a VERY interesting show to work... :P
