Hello does anyone know if ETC is offering a upgrade to windows 7 from windows xp for the Ion?

I fthe RGBW profile is not working, I would create my own fixture profile for the LED tape

When I was in graduate school if we were working on a show, we were being paid and considered employees and therefore covered by workers' compensation. On the other hand the undergraduates that were there as part of a class requirement were not considered workers and therefore not covered.

I graduated from CSUF two years ago, I studied lighting and sound but did take a few of the TD classes. They have a good TD program, they do a lot of Rigging and scenery automation. they should also have a table. if you have any specific questions I could try and answer them for you.

We built these for our production of Anything Goes, you have to build a frame and use multiple layers of 1/4" ply glued together to bend the curve and keep it strong enough.

I have this same issue at the venue we rent for our musical, we use tape under the Maso tapping the different sheets together and than tape the outer edge down to the stage. We have danced and moved heavy scenery on this before and had no issues.

I used to build sets for television and we used to build 12' flats out of 1x3 all the time, now in Hollywood you can easily get good 1x3, so that might make a difference.

Hello I have just been asked to create a exploding tape in a tape recorder to mimic the old mission impossible I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to achieve this?

Doesn't the Personus A1 series have fire-wire input on the back? you can just hook your computer right up to the board.

I think what people like about the Element is the built in channel faders, much like that of older consoles. but you are right the Ion is much better for programming automated fixture, and they are the same syntax.

Typically the plot would have foot markers so you know were to hang the lights, for me (and this is just me) having closest dimmer is more confusing. I have attached an old plot I fould to help ilistrate my point, this may or may not help.

What you have drafted looks exactly like the layout I would do. In my opinion putting dimmer and closest dimmer on the plot confuses things, do you channel your lights different than the dimmer they are in? also why do you have a 26 deg as the closest area and a 36 deg as a more upstage area?

This is also called a Combination Circuit, are you in high school? if so you are doing very well and have no need to apologize.

This is not an easy thing to fix, as far as I know. On another note I see 85 Circuits on your plan not 70. It is also possible, and typical for the smaller rack to control the house and work light system.

This is typical of how many theatres have been built. How many dimmer do you actually have? to rewire the building is not going to be cheap in most cases were I have seen this solved is in adding more circuits to the raceways.
