I have had many conversations with Keith at Apollo. Once I have the time I will be writing a flash program that simulates the effects in Apollo's Smart Move, once I have the time. It will be listed on my website and will feature all 3,000+ patterns in my database.Matt McCormick...

On a Hog 1000 I will setup the preset banks so that I can wing the entire show without any thing programed into the sliders. Granted, I only use the preset banks for moving lights and I do mostly corporate shows, with group and pig + time I can set my timming for differant attributes within a...

Re: More PowerSpot 700 InfoMartin's gobos and animation discs are made by DHA, which was acquired by Rosco.2 gobos stuck out to me:http://design.cablepick.com/images/display/ms-1005.gif http://design.cablepick.com/images/display/ms-2232.gifWhich are both from Apollo.Matt McCormick...

If light spill is an issue, try Source 4 ellipsoidal's. They have shutters that can chop off unwanted spills of light. Look into Applied Electrions L-16 lifts. They have 16' of trim and a steaper angle also help reduce light spill.http://etcconnect.com/product.overview.asp?ID=20080...

Their last big product was the Smart Track™ Lighting System. Which an architectural product.http://altmanlighting.com/smart_track.htmI am still waiting for someone to revolutionize the fresenl market like the Source 4 did to the ellipsoidal spot. And no, I don't mean the Parnel.I do have...

Re: More PowerSpot 700 InfoThose look really similar to Apollo Gobo's. Is there any markings on them that might indicate the manufacture? Same for the animation discs. The unit that had for a demo was a protype and did not have any of the extra gobos.Matt McCormick www.cablepick.com

Well, now that you are getting proper fall arrest equipment, don't get lazy and not use it. It can be a pain snice the harness will get uncomfortable after long periods of time and the leash will always get in the way. It still beats becoming a paraplegic for the rest of your life. I'm not...

I have a client that is using the same console as you are and having the same problems. I plugged a Martin MP2 in the B data and it was the console that was causing the moving lights jitters. Seeing as how it was your work lights, I will suggest he put a power conditioner on the console...

Try the Antari HZ-300. That should fit into your budget, and depending on the length of the show it might be cheaper than renting a DF-50.http://www.elationlighting.com/product.asp?ProductIDNumber=1398&cat=AntariMatt McCormick www.cablepick.com

If you do not advocate piracy, then why did you divulge this information? Thank you for at least stopping short of providing a link to the crack. The lighting industry is small, that is the reason why programs cost as much as they do. If you are working in an educational institution you...

Yeah, but if you have CDL, and you also do lighting. You will find that you do more driving that lighting. For some reason (or another) no one has a drivers license. Matt McCormick www.cablepick.com
