    Genesis lighting video?

    I was watching it specifically looking for shots of the lighting and the way I remember it they only showed a very few backed off shots of the lighting. They may have shown a good bit of backed off views between songs, but when the band was playing it was always close shots of the band. They...

    Genesis lighting video?

    I've seen it and from what I remember it only showed a very very brief few seconds of the lighting, not doing it any justice at all.

    Genesis lighting video?

    Are any of you old enough to remember when Genesis came out with the first moving light show on their Mama tour, using Vari-Lites which I believe they were investors in? I remember seeing a good article about it in Lighting Dimensions. Later when a VHS of the tour came out I could hardly wait to...

    How to control moving lights using a PC?

    Many thanks to ALL of you for your suggestions and advice! So far I still would like to try the M-PC in the hopes that it's like the program on our console, that allows you to turn off tracking, make inhibitives, and has 100 programs on the playback window...I hope it's like that. If I could get...

    Problems with Maxxyz PC

    In my ignorance I thought XP was later than 7. I have a laptop runnng Windows 7 version 6.1 and have the same problem. Will M-PC not run on that either? If not, what program would you recommend that will run on XP and 7 v6.1? If you can tell me where to get an older version of M-PC that will run...

    Problems with Maxxyz PC

    I'm trying to try out Maxxyz PC and downloaded the .exe program. The first time I opened it it said it needed three things so I said ok and believe it went online and got what it needed. Then it said something about Windows 7 or later and I clicked ok. The OS is Windows XP, so I hope it will run...

    How to control moving lights using a PC?

    I tried looking into the Titan One but couldn't find it. Do you have a URL for it? We had an Avo Pearl for a while when our Maxxyz was being repaired, and it didn't give the option to turn off tracking which is an option I've become very fond of. Are any of the things you taught available to...

    How to control moving lights using a PC?

    Thank you. Something I like about the Maxxyz we have is that you can select options for chase patterns and turn off tracking. I don't understand exactly what that means, but I know by doing that you can have any solid color wash and then add a color chase to it that will let the lights go back...

    How to control moving lights using a PC?

    I want to work on some Martin Mac 500s and 600s at home and would like to be able to control them with my PC in order to test them. Are there any programs we can get for free or cheap that can do that? What about something to accept the data cable? The place where I work uses a Maxxyz and I've...

    Looking for tri-LED Pars with motorized zoom

    Those two statements seem to conflict from my pov. In addition, since the Chinese seem to have the most advanced options for the best prices so far it seems to me that they might come up with some of the ideas first. Either way, building on ideas seems like the way things go and the way they...

    Looking for tri-LED Pars with motorized zoom

    Do they have zooming pars? I didn't see any at the website. The X4 seems to be a moving head, probably $1K+? What is power factor corrected?
