Thanks for the reply, All the cable is 'high quality', and the power supply is only running the two I-Cue units. However there is no termination - I thought the I-Cue units did not require this. The DMX runs directly out of my board (Strand 520) on a 100' to the first unity, then to the...

Hey out there, Has anyone experienced a slight twitching in Rosco ICue mirror units? I have two, and both of them on this rig are constantly twitching. It is not the actual units as I swaped them out with new ones. Power..DMX ?? THANKS..

Cool,That is what I do when I need to say for example have running lights backstage for wardrobe, but have them completly independent from the rest of my programming-rig. However something tells me that it becomes a little problematic when programming cues and using exclusive, because you...

Throw them on a dimmer with a non-dim profile (dim # @ 100 *), then put them on a 'exclulsive' submaster. Keep the sub at full, it won't be recorded into cues when made 'exclusive'.PJCps. no need to park anything.

Has anyone had expereince with the Seachanger or something comporable for a Source 4 - theatrical application instead of scrollers? Why are we still using high maintenance scrollers? http://www.seachangeronline.com/index.asp Cheers, PJC.

Hey, So, has anybody played around with a MAC TW1, compared to the VL1000??? Any comments about lamp life, especially considering the recent posts on the 'short' Tungsten life in the VLs. We would like to buy six of something that moves moves, preferably with shutters (you know the theatre...

Hey you great brainstormers... I thank you, and think that we are going to have them re-think the design by way of using 3 ol'fashioned slide projectors (6 for dissolve) and work in panorama. Does anyone have a good projection (lense) calculator. Not sure what kind of size I can get with 20' of...

A wall.I find the question and the answer rather amusing. No, we are not thinking of blowing up the wall. ;-)

Thanks for all the discussion, I also have read your other threads regarding the new Strand boards - I suppose my question is based on the ability our theatre has for an upgrade - we also need a back-up board, and therefore I was hoping to get feedback on the future of Strand and if it is a good...

Cool, this forum is really quite great considering I just discovered it. The problem to me is still trying to solve the 'friggin' huge' dimensions of the screen - still any thoughts then with the slide projector idea -1. rear projection, screen size 35'x27' (landscape) 2. 20' throw distance...

We are looking to upgrade our 750 seat theatre, we now own a Strand520, and would like to control some vl1000 in the future, and have a backup - so has anyone played with one or heard about the new Strand consoles ?(combo with the Marquee)? As well, since the new takeover by Genlyte, Strand's...

Hey thank you all so far for the commentary. In response to Van, the show is the straight play Blood Bros you are thinking of, however the design team wants to do something different, and project approx 40 still images and possbibly one video image.i am getting the sense that this is clearly a...

Hey All, Some projection advice is needed, and since there is no other place to put this...Lighting seemed most fitting. I am the head lx in hamilton ontario, and am looking for any suggestions that would help solve the following application for a designer who would like (ideally) do the...
