Show Cue System is very affordable, and can do many outputs simultaneously. I just finished running "Nine" with a 3 screen, 3 projector set up. I used small inexpensive USB to VGA to get the extra video outputs from the PC, and then I use VGA to CAT5 adapters to run the 3 cat 5 cables from the...

Since the carousel was only seen in the opening, with the overture, we actually made a little mechanical shadow unit that we placed in front of an un lensed 6" fresnel. This cast a nice carosel shadow on the act curtain.Kurt Herman Tech Director Lakewood Theatre Company

Try "Show Cue System".Its inexpensive and it does Sound and Video Cues (and outputs a black screen when no video is present) It will also output still images as Video as well.Kurt Herman

Looks like a mechanical chaser switch unit.Kurt

Glad it worked for you!I've used variations of that trick many times. On one show a guy was supposed to get electrocuted from a foot bath he was taking, and I did the same thing, with 3 tight spots just in front and overhead, focused onto a mirror under a little water in the tub he had his...

Try Show Cue System (Formerly Sound Cue System). It allows sound AND video cues, and it automatically outputs a black screen when a video cue is not running. You can do all of your sound cues on it as well. Kurt

Check out Show Cue System. Not free but it is cheap. Does sound as well as video cues (outputting video on the second monitor output on most computers and laptops.) This is for windows. Kurt

The last time we did it, I used a 19 deg source 4 mounted above, pointing down, with a red gel. In the bowl they put on the table was a mirror. The S4 was shuttered so that the light only hit the mirror in the bowl, and bounced out onto thier faces. Kurt

Picture rail! That was the word I was looking for, but couldn't quite remember.... :) We have a space downstairs in our facility, with picture rail moulding all around, where we sometimes have art displays. Needless to say, I have MANY boxes of those little hangers. Kurt

They are hangers that hook on to the rounded molding on some walls, to which you can hang pictures and such. Kurt

Note that SCS is now known as Show Cue System, since the programmer added video cues as well. I have used SCS for 4 years now, and I like it ALOT! :) Kurt

I know it may sound stupid, but are you sure the previous cue wasn't on a different set of cross faders? I know that once in a while, If I'm running the show with the AB go button, I may accidentally shift over to the CD go button, leaving the AB look still burinig on the stage, on top of the...
