I didn't vote also because the question didn't make sense to me.. I use a 1 dimmer to 1 channel all the time.. then program my submasters or groups to give better individual zone control.. then I'll repatch as a soft patch if necessary on a per show basis..

Looks great.. wish I had the inventory to do that good of a show at my theatre.. I basically get to use washes and when I do get to design and run a show it's usually a punt/drop kick type of thing because I don't get set lists or any advance material to program to anyway..

Theatre Craftsman/Technician/Designer.. first one because I practice and learn my craft as professionally as I know how.. Second one because the mentality is different than "techie".. and third one because I love the way I can make things look through lighting design and my past expertise in...

Lately it's been all set up and tear down of 120K Rock/Country show w/ some ACLs, Moles, Lekos, etc. But on Thursday, The Temptations came thru and let me do the design and run the show.. (they're taking names for their 45th Anniversary tour planned for next year btw..) So, that was a lot of...

JD sent me a PM, and I believe it is the igniter.. luckily it's my fourth spot so I'm ok for awhile.. it doesn't make the characteristic buzz yet the fans still come on and I've tried switching out first lamp and two other new lamps so unless the one lamp died and the other two were D.O.A. that...

Hey all, just getting ready to dive into my newly acquired Lycian 1209 HP follow spots that have MSR 575 HR bulbs because one of them won't strike. Am I right in thinking it's the capacitor that could be blown? The fans all come on, so I'm going to check to see if they've got a separate...

Hey WIU! I've got a friend working on her Masters in Scenic Design (I think) up there.. audio wise you're in a tough position.. some friends of mine went to The Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences at Tempe, AZ and they've said it's a great place to get a formal education (and doesn't take...

I'd rather have mine in the tech booth at the back center above the audience.. oh, but I don't have a tech booth that isn't sunk into the ground, so I make do w/ two side of house positions, two slightly raised tech booth positions, and scaffolds in the back corners of the house if requested...

I've got some DS 250's and like them alot.. one guy I'd seen was out on the road with them for 2 years w/o any problems.. one problem I encountered is even though the user manual of mine said they could be side mounted you have to make sure you bought the "Pro" version of the fixture that comes...

I work in a 1500 seat venue that does tie ins and local community theatre, but is pretty much a road house stop for older country and comedy (think casino type of stuff): Control 01 ETC Expression 3 (No RRFU!) 96 ETC Sensor+ Dimmers 06 DMX Break-outs 01 Enttec DMX-USB Pro 01...

I've seriously day dreamed of the same type of replacement cap; and I think if LED fixtures had a little better output that it would already be worth the savings on a new installation that wouldn't have to purchase so much dimming capability and wiring. My 2¢

Ok, that's what I'd thought I'd read was that each individual dimmer was selectable in the Sensor system; but maybe I misunderstood Icewolf.. also, ETCs stuff seems rather vague on these points sometimes. Are the dimmers easier to pick out on their Sensor+ Connect GUI?

Hmm I wasn't aware you couldn't pick and choose DD dimmers.. I was thinking for example that I could set dimmers 1 thru 24 to DD and leave the rest alone.. so I can see where it really would become a major commitment and hassle to set all your dimmers that way.. thanks for the info..

So, has anyone on this forum used such a system personally? I'm seriously looking into here at our "theatre" so we can double up the amount of DS lights we've got to keep people happier w/ their riders..
