I've actually seen this done in Denver before, but they at least filled the slots up first.

Evening all,This is my first issue with a hog3 pc widget since they became recently "discontinued". I'm using a co-worker's rig that includes a single universe hog3 usb widget and 48 channels of dimming. I am having a previously unseen issue with the system. 8 hours ago (at the beginning of my...

Hi all,I find myself in a situation where I'm wondering if artnet is making it from my console down the line to my media server. a ping from the media server to the ip addy of the console proves the connection in good health, but my dmx control is spotty at best. I'm trying to eliminate a few...

re: Help! Need Info on "Rat Pac" 10x1.2K dimmerStrictly inside: problem number 1 occurred in an air conditioned hotel. Problem number 2 also occurred inside sans A/C however. I agree with you that this sounds like an overheating issue. The lack of fans and reliance on a heat sink seems...

re: Help! Need Info on "Rat Pac" 10x1.2K dimmeryou sir, are a scholar and a gentleman, thanks for the info.

Greeting from NOLA,I'm having some very frustrating experiences with a 10x1.2K mobile dimmer pack known only to me as a "Rat Pack". I've run into it a lot recently on film sets and would like to get a few solutions in my bag of tricks for the problems I'm having. A few specs: I dont know make...

Thanks for all the input guys. This project is in the early rehearsal stages currently and I'm trying to get a handle on the director's wants. I've determined that this was a favorite tool of another designer this director has used in the past. This is the first time he has used me as a...

Hey all,I have a director who is persistently asking me to create some par cuts of gel made up of four or five different colors of gel. He swears this creates a look that he wants and I'll go with his idea, but I wanted to pick your brains on if this idea held any validity in practice...

I've personally owned Doug Fleenor's Marconi WDMX system for about a year now and my confidence in it has grown considerably in that time. I've had 0 dropouts in signal in that time! That being said, I would still not yet recommend it as a full-scale replacement for a hard-wired DMX connection...

Trying to find out a cheap way to convert single RCA video signal (not composite) into a VGA signal. I'm looking for a low profile device that will take an RCA input and spit out a stable VGA signal. Any thoughts on the subject would help.

A great front-fill speaker is the Meyer M1D. Its a self-powered box and it has a great throw for its size... packs a nice punch too. The Mica box from Meyer might do the trick as well, but neither of these boxes are cheap. They are also both line array speakers normally used in clusters of 4-16...

Just recently purchased an ETC Smartfade 24/96 for a small theater. Having some trouble with the boards timed crossfade feature within the cue stack. Here's the problem in a nutshell. We are using some cheapy LED PAR 64s for our color wash and backlight, we have 8 Source Four lekos and 2...

thanks cdub, good to have a first hand account. you rock.

generally speaking, I've found floor wedges to be good for a full-range sound. I dont think your friend's speakers will sound bad to the average listener's ear, but then agai I've never tried it. However, if he's started drilling into the cabinet itself that may affect sound quality in another...
