    Help a director out? Insight 2 board

    Alot of organizations, roadshows, etc. rent out our facility year round. Once I get my channels, submasters, etc. set how I want them, how can I save them (or is it possible to save them) so that once the shows have loaded out, I can reload my defaults back in? This would be a huge help, as it...

    I have a new super beginner question for you. I almost feel dumb asking it....I plotted out all of my dimmers on a diagram so I know where they all are. Then a I did a dimmer check [AT] [FULL]. Some of my dimmers aren't producing any light. Now I know from having lowered the electrics for...

    Is this a fuse that is readily available? Or would it be an item that would probably need to be ordered from somewhere? While I am at it, where would I go about getting extra fuses for the console? I feel this is something that should be kept around as a just in case....

    Okay, so I'm sitting here at the console and just tried plugging the RFU directly in to the back of it and still I get no power on when I turn the switch to ON. Does that mean its done for? Do they have any type of fuses or anything I should check?

    Thanks for setting me straight on whether or not I can mess up the Presets on the architectural control panel (new vocabulary, thanks) from the console. The facility is Myrtle Beach High School, the install was probably late 90s to early 2000s. Thanks alot David.

    Also, we have an an RFU. It would be great if I could use it so that I could do some of the work from the stage where I can be nearer to the fixtures I am working with (as opposed to running back and forth haha). I followed the console manual regarding using it, [plugged into ETC Remote...

    The term "Unison" is new to me. Where can I educate myself more on this? All I have is the light console manual.

    Loads of great information, thank you ALL.I probably won't be moving any of the fixtures just yet, however I probably will be refocusing some of them as all of the fixtures on the electrics (with the exception of the cyc lights) are currently just facing straight down.So tell me this, what...

    Above you talk about how putting each light on its own dimmer and channel, but can take alot of console channels - Are the number of channels on the console (108) the end all number of channels? AKA, I can't just go to another page like I can submasters (10 pages on Insight2)Also, I see that...

    lwinters630: do you mind elaborating on that statement a little bit? I saw the SOLO button directly below the SUB MODE button but was a little at a loss to it. Do you mind explaining it and why you prefer your statement above as opposed to the solo function?All of this stuff is really...

    You guys have been a huge help. I tried it out and it worked in the manner that I was looking for. I did a lot of reading up on submasters and am now a little better educated on the topic. Now that I know a little more about what I am talking about and also still on the topic of submasters...
