We're dropping a duck in Beauty and the Beast. The stage construction guy built a U-shaped holder(think wood box with 2 sides missing) with a steel pin...the pin holding the duck is connected to a rope and run back to tech(we're in a gym) The pin has a safety line attached to the box so it...

Thanks Char5lie, Correction from original post: "of" should be "over"....guess I can't type I'm finishing lights for a private school doing Beauty this weekend.... and just talked to another director about doing pit for Millie in late April...(A PAID GIG...YAY!) Phool

hmm...about me real job = music store owner(band instrument/school music) other real job = youth director at church play job(when time allows) = theatre/drama/etc done most aspects of the theatre: Acting(church musicals - Christmas Post(Maxwell), I'll Be Home for Christmas(Grandpa)...

yes, I originally had my dimmer packs set 11,21,31,41,etc starting addresses(mostly for my own sanity in setting things up)...then later reset all the dimmer packs sequentially1,2,3,4,5,6,7,etc. the problem remained pretty constant yes, you are correct....we thought that quite humorous as...

well, my hunch didn't work, we still have a slight "flicker" on several dimmer packs, and we're basically living with it...it's beauty and the beast...so we're saying the wiring in the castle is kinda old levitron has shipped our replacements, but we haven't had the time to swap out (dress is...

<have you tried running the new dimmers to the lightboard by themselves?> Yes, this was one of the first things we tried. We had a couple of "new" dimmers we had not hung yet and tried those independently and the same problem occurred. <Try isolating the problem - take the controller and...

<Maybe something in this thread will help.> Yea, I saw that thread...didn't seem to tell me much, other than not to buy those dimmers <slowing down the DMX refresh rate> can't seem to find a way with this light board, have the manual, but no mention of that <make sure the DMX chain is...

I'm running a Lightronics TL-2448 board and Leviton D4DMX dimmers. We have 5 older Leviton D4DMX dimmers with only the DMX input/outputs, but the newer dimmers have the DMX and Microplex inputs/outputs. After a lot of frustration we discovered the newer dimmer packs are causing an...
