    TW1 repair

    Wifi iOS/android DMX control, without PC

    A cue server could do that, though you program it ahead, and if youre looking for just static color options, Chauvet;s Flarecon hub and app make easy work of RGBA color picking.

    Keys to Visiting Acts

    Nowhere I've worked gives keys to short term visitors, and its as much about the cost of lost keys as it is about having a known staff member around when anyone is in the building.
