Hi searchlight! I am in a similar situation at our church as well. We do theatre performances in spring and do some basic special lighting for Christmas and Good Friday services. Other than that the lights each Sunday are usually the same. I say usually because we do have some LEDs and I like to...

Just a quick follow up, that program did it! It works great and has way too many options. Thanks for directing me to it. PetePete chirpich Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello! We have been using the Martin M-PC program at our church for our lighting. Is there a way to set this up to run certain settings on a time of day basis? For example, every Sunday morning at 8:30 AM (assuming the computer is on and M-PC software is running) it would auto turn on some...

I am not sure how I missed your posts, sorry. I removed tracking and it is working great! I am not sure I see the need of tracking but my guess is someday I would. For what I would use this for, it seems tracking is not needed.I thank you for finding that as I can now move on to creating my...

Thanks for the note. I think I have the cue list part down. However, here is what the issue is. It seems that the cues retain their settings. So moving from cue1 to cue2 will show me settings merged from 1 and 2. For example, I selected fixtures 1-6, set to 100%. Saved in test2. Clear Clear...

Sorry Glenn, I posted but apparently it did not come through.First of all, yes you are helping me out alot and I appreciate it! I followed your steps but it does not clear when I click clear then hold release and click snap. or just hold release and then snap (and no clear first). Things...

Q1: I am only using a PC for this.I had previously tried cue's and was not doing it right or something as they always came up blank. So I was just doing step by step. I had it all setup for our 3 little changes in our service last weekend, but when I went to the 3rd preset, then it never...

That does make sense, but isn't that what I am doing when i press clear clear? It removed all programmer settings so I guess I thought because my lights also go out that they were considered at 0. It also does not make sense that it works between my first 2 settings and not the 3rd. I tried...

Ok I have gone through the videos again and feel I was getting it. I just apparently am don it wrong!I am a little confused on how Presets work, and wonder if it is messing me up on cues. Here’s what I have done:I created a new show and added my fixtures to it. Fixtures 1-12 are on an ETC...

Wow really? I looked at solaris and thought 500.00 was close so offering 400 seemed logical for a pair. Thanks for setting me straight!Pete chirpich Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am so glad I asked! I'll post my next fixture I am looking at as well, in a separate post. Thanks so much! Pete

1st electric is above stage and about 23ft high. 2nd electric is same height but approximately 8ft from front of stage. 3rd electric is same height and approx 20 feet from front stage. The seller used them for dj but I will check cleaniness. I am thinking I would be better spending that money...

Hello, I have an opportunity to purchase 2 of these for $500.00. I think that is a good deal but am a little concerned about the issues and glitches I read about with these as well. Things like needing the special crossover cable and where the lights are in the chain effecting other lights.I...

Nopeda, I actually bought my DMx king through lightfactory.http://www.lightfactory.net/store/category/hardware?mPath=7&osCsid=cac3i465prsno4cmbif3vce273Hope that helps! Pete

Thanks all for the messages. I had not seen the training link. I did watch some on you tube and they were helpful so maybe just need to make sure and do them all in order and see if I get it.Thanks again!Pete
