    J.R. Clancy Announces the SureStop Head Block system as LDI 2012

    From what I understand and talking to one of the JR reps, the SureStop will be triggered if the lineset travels over a set speed, being 90, 180, or 360 Feet/Min. If the trigger was the cause of an overzealous stagehand, the operator just has to pause before the headblock releases. If the trigger...

    grandMA 3D/ grandMA onPC as a summer project?

    Douglas is correct. If you add to your patch "From Library: Generic: Dimmer" it will add a parcan-like fixture to 3D. Just like any other fixture you can position and rotate it in your 3D space until it is to your liking. The gel option does exist for conventional, I believe it is somewhere in...

    LED Source Four

    Re: First look ETC Led S-4You can run the Lusters with the D60 profile, same LED colors. All three versions are very impressive as far as LED technology goes when comparing it to conventional source fours. Yes, they are dimmer than a conventional, but for where LEDs were a year ago, quite...

    Control/Dimming Chases in cue list on GrandMA 2!

    If you record a chase on one faders and your show stack on another fader, you can start the chase in the cue and end it after the cue. Keystrokes should be [Go] [Exec] [page.fader]. Off should be [Off] [Exec] [Page.Fader] *These are keystrokes for MA1* and you will put these in the "loops and...

    Help understanding the math behind donuts

    Our Lighting Professor said that the size of the hole is the same size as the aperture? Aperture being a manufactured doughnut? The size of a real doughnut hole? Changing from light to light? And I just want to say, that the haze was my idea.
