Hey all, first time i have been here in awhile. This summer our community theater is preforming Oz. Usually I am only in charge of the lighting, but this year I am also in charge of effects. I am wondering if anybody has any Ideas of how we can make the red slippers spark when the witch goes...

On our desk (Minstrel Plus), there is a key switch that locks out any changes that might accidentally applied. It's handy for when every thing is set for a big show, or to keep a newbie from messing things up.

If your computer has a s-video out (if you have a desktop computer, you can buy a video card with an s-video port for around $30), you can connect it to an RF adapter, connect a video amplifier, add a F to BCN adapter(s), and put a coaxial splitter on the other end of the cable. Then you can run...

The rack is about due for it's annual cleaning

Alright, so when I had a free moment, I tried flipping the breaker on and off a few times, but that didn't help. I tried swapping the dimming module, and it didn't work at first. I tried flipping the breaker a few times, and it started working. I put the module back into its original place, and...

Our auditorium is about 12 years old. While on the topic of wiring, how is a double patch system generally wired? Is the two sets of wires coming from each dimmer? Or is there one set that comes from the dimmer, and the second channel ties into it down the line? Thanks for everybody's...

We have flush mount connectors in the catwalk, so I didn't test that. I don't think it's an connector issue though, because the troubled dimmer is double patched, and neither circuit/plug is working.

Lol, That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that

The dimming rack is a Mark VII Dimming Bank, made by Electronics Diversified Inc. It was installed in '96, when the High school/ Auditorium was built. I'm pretty sure i flipped it on & off, but i'll gve it another try tomorow. Yes, because I after I moved the light to a working dimmer, I...

I was geling lights for a Battle of the Bands that's coming up, and i noticed an ellipsoidal was burned out in the catwalk. I changed out the bulb, plugged it back in, and nothing. So i tried connecting it to a different circuit that was powered, and it fired right up. I tried a another light on...

I was just thinking that before I read your post.:) I Thought it was an alright show. I got a bigger kick out of seeing Max, Labamba, and Pender (I think that's his name, the trumpet player), who are all part of Conan's late night Band. (I love that show :mrgreen:)

I would have setup the sound system in stereo, instead of current mono setup.

After a Talent Show we held about a month ago, my supervisor had found an unwrapped condom while cleaning up the house.:rolleyes: He had also found a bottle of hair gel that only had japanese writing on it. They were found in different locations, so i doubt they were connected in any way.. :lol:

What about like a Pocket Scan, or other small moving light (set to non-dim on the board)?

Re: Joseph and the Technicolor dream coatThe community production group did Joseph in August, and they had rented four 6 ft led color blazers to light up a scrim. And during Go Go Joe, we had a moment where the actors were silhouetted (the only light on stage was the dancing color blazes)...
