    Control/Dimming The Phantom blew out my DMX!

    Yeah, this sounds exactly like what I went through that triggered the referenced post...Sidenote: Adam, you're in my backyard... If you need someone to chat to about this stuff, hit me up.

    Chroma Q DB4 - How Bright?

    Bear in mind: You will also need the power supply to run them, they're not DMX Plug-and-play, they take 4-pin from a compatible PSU. (IE: Chroma-Q PSU05)They're punchy, sure... Or they were when they first came out... We've been using them since they were new kit, and they work wonderfully as...

    Looking for tri-LED Pars with motorized zoom

    I believe I posted this is response to your other thread as well, but I'm partial to the MICROH - Professional Products - Lighting - LED Par Cans - LED Max Zoom Tri myself. We have a dozen, and they're just a wonderful fixture.

    Design Beam Visibility

    The only real way to know for sure, and the only way I will ever check in the future... Is to have someone from the AHJ at the control panel with the system in Test mode, and run the hazer to find out... We've had our MDG hazer in the building for years, and it doesn't cause trouble with any of...

    Blacklighting a Hotel Suite

    Nono, it was for the crapshooters dance/Luck be a Lady in the Sewer.All All the guys in pinstripes that had been done with neon/gitd paint... Quite a visually striking number.

    Blacklighting a Hotel Suite

    The last time we needed them for a Blacklight sequence in Guys & Dolls, we rented from PRG (or was it Fourth Phase still, at that time? Memory fails me...) here in Mississauga (Though you'll probably find them listed as PRG Toronto) Christie, Westbury, AC Lighting, Frost and AirMagic are also...

    I-cue Mirror Sticking

    Very odd, could be a crooked mount... Or could have come under some intense heat and shifted... But I'm not sure I see how... (The glue used on those mirrors is some tough stuff!!!)Try swapping the mirrors from your two I-Cue's, and see if the problem moves with the mirror, as it were... If...

    I-cue Mirror Sticking

    So... First thing I notice, that appears to be a round mirror... I-Cue mirrors should be oval and somewhat smaller in both dimensions... It also passes closer to the accessory mount than all 9 of mine do... Was a mirror replacement ever done on this unit? That may be the source of your...

    Please help learning about LED par options

    They're the Cree XP-E Series emitter: Cree Components XLamp XP-E LEDs Given that the component options specify white or "color"... I suspect they're probably a Martin custom color order.We use Microh LED Max Zoom Tri's... I love em personally... They don't move like the 101's do, but then, I...

    Design Mac101 Library File

    You'll be saddened to note that Fixture Library files for WYG are coded by version... IE: One for R22 will not work on R21. If you are behind on the release that has the fixture you need, you are sorely out of luck, likely specifically to prevent what you are trying to do, and encourage...

    Shoebox Dimming ~ Ground Hum

    Well, replacing the bulbs solved it. (See: Inserting a new bulb in Fixture #1 on the strip, turn on, hear buzz, insert Fixture #1's bulb into Fixture #2, etc)It was a bulb halfway down the strip causing it...Still confused, ridiculously confused... Perhaps more-so than when I started... But...

    Shoebox Dimming ~ Ground Hum

    Alright, had some time today to spend crawling around under the deck, and work on this... And I'm still stumped.SFX PC moved to different power, hum gone. Okay, so the problem is with that circuit. That power circuit is still isolated from the dimmer pack all the way back to the transformer...

    Shoebox Dimming ~ Ground Hum

    Rest of the pack is fine (4 Chan Pack), nothing special about the wiring.Pack just returned from service for an (unrelated) DMX Control Problem... Suspect it is not the choke (Do the NSI DDS series even have chokes?), but when I get a chance to crawl under the deck and get at the pack, I will...
