    Chauvet Professional Ovation E-910FC

    Hi all,This is just a question that I was thinking about having read some other threads.Can the Chauvet Professional Ovation E-910FC be used with an ETC Source 4 lens tube? For example, can I have the Ovation body with a 36 degree lens tube from a Source 4?Thanks!

    The X4 Bar is in there for the tilt like you mentioned as we have a cyc but it doesn't get used in every production we stage so we are trying to kill two birds with one stone as such as the idea is to use the X4 to either light the cyc when it's in use or use it to help add light to the stage -...

    I forgot to put in the list, we've also added the GLP Impression X4 Bar 20 to the list as well.I will check out the Ovation E-910FC and see what everyone else thinks. Would you say it is better than the ETC?Thanks for all your help!

    Hi guys,One of the venues that I help out at is looking at upgrading their lighting rig from entirely conventionals to a LED/Conventional hybrid rig. It's a largish venue, seating around 850 people and the stage is about 35'x75' I think.At the moment, we've come up with a wishlist of what...

    Inventorying...

    @Chase P. That does sound like a good idea with the whole barcode thing and then creating a google spreadsheet to work with that for both cables and fixtures - I might have to give that a go. I didn't think of the google forms option for requisition of fixtures by the various departments - I'm...

    Inventorying...

    @SteveB That's a good point - I have several hours of downtime tomorrow so I'm planning on making some headway with actual physical numbers and locations before trying to find a software solution. As for the gels, I can see why in some venues that doesn't really work but in mine it's so...

    Inventorying...

    Alich: that's kinda what I thought after posting it but then I don't have to worry about enforcing crew to sign it out as it'd literally just be me doing it or maybe our inhouse tech if I can prise them away from the music department... I think it'd would have been easier to do when they first...

    Inventorying...

    (Mods, feel free to move this if it is in the wrong place)Hi all, In short: This is a question that came out of a discussion I had with my heads of P.A and Music at my college (UK college). Is there a program that exists that would allow lighting inventory to be tracked? What kind of programs...

    I found out today that the motor is power controlled so would that make a difference to how it's patched in? I presume that I'd just patch it as a dimmer in Nomad and leave it - is that right?

    "You should try to use the Zero88 and get comfortable with it anyways it’s good to be versed in all varieties of consoles anyways." - AmiersI know that I should try to use the FLX more but it's the first time I've come across it (my previous school had a LeapFrog for all their shows along...

    Ohhhh okay. Speed control would be nice to have but I didn't realise that many motors don't like being dimmed - I thought they were designed to be dimmed as it worked fine with speed control if the FLX is used. If that's the case, I'll settle for on/off control for now and then I'll look further...

    00000000000000000Ah okay, I'll check that as well on Thursday. I think from what I remember about the Chilli racks is that they can change between relay and dimmer. If they can't, I'll pop it on a real dimmer.
