    Fast DMX Question - Running ColorScroller on an old board.

    Hey CB - we own a LP 1600 Plus board. On the back, it has a DMX OUT, which feeds a DMX Cable to a seperate box (I have no clue what the box is, I just know it has all of our dimmers hooked into it) and on that seperate box another DMX OUT - I am assuming I can hook up one DMX cable and run it to...

    MBT LED PAR 64 Can vs. Source Four Par /w ColorScroller

    Hey all, back again with another question. The MBT LED PAR 64 Can vs the Source Four Par at 750w. I think we are pretty set on sticking with conventional lighting, but the director REALLY loves the idea of color-mixing, without buying color scrollers. It is just not in our budget. However, for...

    ETC Source Four Throw Distance

    Hey All - We've got a 50' Distance from our Catwalk to the stage floor, about six feet upstage from the edge of the floor. For maximum brightness, and to cover a decent area, what degree barrel should we look at? We'd be replacing some LeeColortran's up there, and we currently have 15 of them...

    The Puck, by Blizzard Lighting. Good source for down light, color mixing on stage?

    The Puck That's what we're looking at. If not, what other cheap LED's could we look at for use in the theatre? We're trying not to cap our budget of $10,000, but we'd like to be able to wash the Cyc + add some downlights on all three of our electrics, all LED's.

    High School Theatre in need of Lighting Renovations. Ideas needed!

    Thanks again for all the help guys, it really is, well, helping. Of course I'm doing this with my Director. Seeing as we don't HAVE a Technical Director, lets just say I'm filling the imaginary position with her.

    High School Theatre in need of Lighting Renovations. Ideas needed!

    Thanks all for your help. Our first step is replacing the board, so for now, we're only looking at a few LED's to show off with the new board, or maybe a few cheap movers. My final question is this. I couldnt even tell you what kind of dimmers we have. Or what our Patchbay is. I searched it...

    DMX SolutionsHey all - I'm in need of a few answers. We're investing in some new moving lights, and an ETC Element board. I am the LD here, as well as many other things, but I've got a question: If we were to get a multi-universe receiver, and hook that up to our board, we could then simply...
