Thank you les! I sure appreciate the information, from some of the info i found online parlight is capable of performing repairs, and has a limited supply of parts. Another question i have is how compatible is this board with various dimmers? I wouldn't expect the console to be compatible with...

So a local theater is getting rid of its EDI Bijou board, and i am getting it for free. This is my first console that i would own, but not the first console i have ever operated. I am trained and profeicient on everything from 12 channel, 2 scene preset boards, all the way to the roadhog. I...

Checked for parked channels and parked dimmers - nope none found. Unfortunately no chance to check for the other end of the dmx path as the dimmers are well secured in a steel cabinet which of course no one has the key for. I am curious if the key slot on the wall could be this mysterious take...

SO i didn't get a chance to move the board back stage last night, or take a look at the dimmers. The dimmers themselves i traced back from the race ways, to a steel box which is secured shut with several 1/2" bolts, so i didnt have the chance or time to open it up. I did how ever take pictures...

I plan on just moving the console back stage to where the dimmers are and running the chord from there and seeing what i come up with. Will post pictures of the set up of the board, the dimmers, and the panel tomorow night when i am in the building again. Has anyone ever worked with a setup like...

The dimmers on on when i run up the architectural dimmer panel. The panel itself looks to be just a random panel that one might come across in a commercial building.The panel is located stage right wing, about 5 feet in from the proscenium, and on the the panel it self it has an on/off switch...

All right back ground leaving out pertinent details. I currently work for a rental atmospheric lighting company who has hit the slow time in the year. I just picked up a job doing a graduation party for a friend at a local community center. The design is 10 par 220w uplights, with purple gels...

So i am currently A stage manager for an upcoming show in July. While running productions, i have become fast friends with the lighting dude, who has offered me a job working with him, as an av guy. Now i can't remember the name of the company, but from what i can remember they do mobile...

Well here goes the dilemma, being a typical college student and a complete moron. I have wasted a few years, and not really ended up with any form of actual paperwork. Though i have landed a wonderful job working as a theater tech on campus. This has renewed my love of theater and the jobs we do...

Well i can tell you this much working in bike shops for the last five years leather isnt used on anything but saddles or grips. I would suspect that the leather is great for hanging things. Used in sails where the rigging runs through to keep the canvas from ripping

Im allowed to moderately to extremely dislike all i want. Though i do acknowledge they are in show business as well. I just have no love for the high school aged ones who are indiscriminate, and have no respect for others, in other words the ones i dealt with. Anyways I am assuming since they...

Thank you for answering the question because it was beginning to drive me up the wall. I second the spotlight cage, i have a common hate for students especially athletic types.....So i can see the definite value

Please someone answer cause now i am really curious......

I figured as much, i mean the typical digital camera is capable of revealing infared light, but not capable of viewing in strictly infrared

Thanks for all the wonderful ideas guys, i hadnt thought of donating them. Though in my area i doubt it would do help anyone any. Im from fairfax va, one of the richest countys in the states, the schools actually have newer equipment then the college i attend. I think they just got a brand new...
