    Conductor Monitor and Latency with Digital

    We dumbed it all down by removing the flat screen, building a shelf and installing a 1991 vintage CRT tv. Voila. No more latency. Tonight's choruses better end with some crisp cutoffs.

    Conductor Monitor and Latency with Digital

    We just installed a video monitor on the balcony rail so large casts can see the conductor (I know, welcome to the game right?) but after the initial excitement it became clear that there was a millisecond lag and so the director and music director said they didn't want it. Rather than give up...

    Hi all, sorry for disappearing, we have a built in dimmer rack from Electronics Diversified, Theatre Switchboard "MARK" Series. So, maybe an ETC precursor? It does have clean power. It might be too warm in there but it's not a sauna. It probably does need to be vacuumed, our hvac is a joke...

    Yes, we have one splitter running 5 dmx into one that runs straight to the board but which wasn't the problem child.

    No, we cleared the show and all the submasters. We just found that Universe 1 (Dims 1-512) is acting up in one theatre space but the same board hooked to different dimmers is okay. Totally confused. Meanwhile our smaller board will run the Universe 1 dimmers but isn't big enough for the show...

    Help with ETC Express

    Recently we have had issues with lights flickering and flashing and coming up and down by themselves which I suspect is the board (ETC Express 96). I thought I'd read in these forums that there was some sort of safe start to try using some combination of keys when turning it on. Does anyone...
