    Chauvet Stage Designer 50 Help needed

    My main moment was that switch on the back being set to what I can only guess is some sort of fade mode, it seemed like the console was not responding to DMX until I reversed it. In a strictly wash chase situation I would say that board is perfect though. The manual was certainly hit or miss...

    I want to become a Stage Lighting Technician

    I would say college is hit or miss. I know some people went and got a lot out of it (including great career placement contacts), some people went and got nothing out of it (except huge loan payments), some people didn't go at all and are just as good and just as far (with no student loan...

    What do you do?

    I usually set a few basic led chases in a few different color combos first. Once I have some basic flashy stuff going I'll start on my focus points and such for movers and then I'll start making some longer scenes/stacks for more specialized stuff. Mostly my process is get the simplest stuff...

    Control/Dimming One thing I like about the ION

    For my magic sheet I have each channel of my down washes (we have four colors) in a grid (with the backgrounds to match the respective color) on the top, the middle is the same but for my high sides (also in four colors) my bottom row has each of my front washes by light on the left, my cyc in...

    Control/Dimming One thing I like about the ION

    The Magic Sheets are fantastic! I don't use subs for nearly as much, especially during the cue writing phases. The multiple lines of undo is also great, I have already been able to save myself reprogramming with it!

    Control/Dimming One thing I like about the ION

    I find the ease of integrating effects into cues or running them on the fly a vast improvement over previous ETC consoles. I have also found the flexibility of the merge shows functions to be a huge time saver in our roadhouse (My patch, their cues, my settings...).

    Control/Dimming L86 Dimmer Module questions

    Is this what that plastic connector was doing? How do I go about doing that?

    Control/Dimming L86 Dimmer Module questions

    :) I am not really interested in replacing the ND functionality of the modules. That is part of why I was doing this research. We have only conventional lights and never find ourselves adjusting to ND at the module.

    Control/Dimming L86 Dimmer Module questions

    I do not have any flickering modules that do not have the non-dim card, they flicker in whichever of the three racks I put them in, I'm sure it is always the same side of the dimmer, EM64?, the filters are clean and i do have two broken fans that I am working on replacing. It is only about six...

    Control/Dimming L86 Dimmer Module questions

    Thank you! Sadly, as far as I am aware the stacked style breakers are no longer available; we would need the retro fit chassis to accommodate the side by side breakers.

    Control/Dimming L86 Dimmer Module questions

    I have a mix of LMI and ETC 2400w L86s in my dimmer rack. Some of them have a circuit board between the data in and the SCR, some just have a Molex type connector instead. What does this circuit board add? Is it just to give me the non-dim switch? Is this a part I might find anywhere? I...

    Control/Dimming Obsession 2 Bugs

    Wiping the console seems to have fixed the grandmaster problem. I checked the fuse and it is good. I'll put in a call. Thank you!

    Control/Dimming Obsession 2 Bugs

    Thank you :). For parts one and three i have a few days later this week that i will be able to wipe the console and try those ideas out. As for the RFU the unit does not even power on when we plug it in and it is the correct port.
