I really like the powerpole connectors! We already use them in some applications. Specifically to interface 12V batteries to our RC4 wireless dimmers!

What's your favorite quick disconnect, single wire, electrical connector? I am thinking 14-18AWG. Currently, spade connectors are my go-to, but they pull off easily and are hard to pull apart many times. The usage of this is for set practicals, LED PSU Connections, Wireless Dimmer Battery...

I think that the system wasn't connected as described. That would be my first guess.Also, why is there a return cable from the first scroller? I have never seen a scroller with a DMX in, DMX out, and return cable out too...which in my head makes that physically impossible.

This was a really great read! Have always wanted to live in a theatre and they should let him be in his homeSent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have never used WYG in this configuration but a loop back adaptor is what you use to communicate between offline and a Previz software. It really stressed out most computers and was unusable in my experience but these computers where standard computers

Does the curtain have fullness? This can ruin the effect

Thank you for the information!

That's we discussed in our production meeting. We will do separate runs in the future but I'm not re-cabling a rig for 14 performances. I went and turned it off by ports on the node

SOLUTION:After a quick call to ETC tech support, we determined that the issue was RDM. Upon disabling RDM, the scrollers began to respond as they always had! I'm very glad we weren't using RDM for the rig. Not sure what we would do if RDM where a necessary part of the rig.

We will check that out when we hit a break today. I'm thinking it may be the node since we just had a new renovation in the space so the nodes are all brand new. We have checked cables and since it is happening on all scrollers even though they are powered by different PSU's and those PSU's are...

Hello,I am currently working on a rig with about 40 Apollo Smart Color PRO's being controlled by an ion. The scrollers are jerking when not in the open frame. All of them are doing it with some doing it worse (to the extent of jerking all the way into the previous frame). I have noticed that...

Thank you! I thought so but it was worth it. I may have access to an EOS client dongle and can use nomad with the node. I am correct in thinking that would work correct?

I am working on a production for a brand new theatre company. They have no inventory so we loaned a board from another local theatre group. That board has gone missing and we enter tech tomorrow. I have access to an etcnet 2 node. If I where to use something like QLC+ to output Artnet or ACN...

It does indeed have a mini display port. I will look into the Hub! Qlab can support the projectors. The projectors will be edge blended to create one surface.

A small theatre company is currently doing a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in an old church. The designer's goal is project watercolor paintings on the walls. We can do coverage with 3 projectors and we would use Qlab 3 Pro to push video through a Mac Mini. The issue I am is having...
