I got it! The wiring and the patch were alright. The decoder itself has a whole bunch of profile/control options. I had been assuming that the "512" option was the setting I wanted. Turns out it's "---" instead.Thanks so much for your responses! I hope this helps someone else who decides to...

Hi folks,I'm attempting to control a string of LED pixel lights via DMX and an ETC console. The decoder we purchased is the Alitove SP201E, which should be compatible with both the WS2811 chips in the lights and regular ol' DMX. The manual leaves much to be desired. Reviewers on Amazon say...

Hi all,A show I'm working on wants "makeup-mirrors," ringed by lightbulbs, on vanities that move around onstage during scenes. The pre-made led-on-a-battery-pack options I have presented have been vetoed, so I'm looking at powering a short string of globe lights off of a 12v battery. A cursory...

Apparently I don't have permission on this company computer to access "Computer Management," so I can't really get into disk management. I can try it again later, when I'm back with my own personal computer. Thanks!

Update: I found a smaller usb stick (958 MB) and formatted it on my pc. I stuck it in the board, formatted it successfully, saved a couple of bs cues onto it. No problem so far. Cleared the show, read from disk, and everything is peachy. However, when I take the stick out of the board while the...

We had an Express that was having some trouble with its disk drive. My boss purchased this floppy-drive emulator:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C4PCK9S/?tag=controlbooth-20This afternoon he installed it. So far, we've managed to "format" and "write all to disk," but are unable to "read...

I'm having an issue calibrating Coloram scrollers on an ETC Ion. I am familiar with the calibration process, but the scrolls are so far off that when I attempt to calibrate them, they are automatically assigned to the frame previous. For example, Frame 4 displays what is actually frame 6. When I...

About five minutes before tech stated last night, one of my Forerunners decided to quit responding. I've gone through all the usual trouble shooting, but even with a direct feed from the power supply and a new address, I can't get him running. The odd thing: the data indicator light on the...

Ah. Thanks much.

Hey all,I'm working in a space with a bunch of Leviton D4DMX-MD5 packs. They're the sort with breaker switches instead of fuses. Yesterday, a lamp blew and it tripped the breaker on the pack. I replaced the lamp, reset the breaker, and plugged the unit back it. Now it's just on all the time...

Figured it out! Thanks for your help!

New ME in a new space here. So I've got a hazer tucked up all nice in this grid. It's receiving non-dim power at present, but was previously run (for a long time as I understand) on dimmable power. When it broke at the end of last season, Barbizon suggested running it via a DMX relay instead of...
