I'm contemplating purchasing several of 36w RGB floods (similar to the colorblast12), from aliexpress(china vendor)... I'd like to connect to my laptop for DMX control maybe open usb Enttec, but, which out of the box software/hardware gives me the most routines, or, are routines are most...

There's a few ways to build the drivers for each RGB, current restricting, constant current...etc and have pretty good idea on what is needed, I'll post the build out after doing so bc I think alot of folks would be interested, est about $2 or so per driver/per RGB.I suppose, if I didn't use...

fyi, I found out you can't run RGB's in series to your driver if they are common anode,which was one of the questions I had.The cheaper 3ch DMX RGB controller from holiday coro are only $8 but don't relay DMX, if make the first fixture in the daisy chain run having a controller that...

The individual star 3w RGB leds have come down in price quite a bit so I purchases a bunch, specs are (R=2.5, B=3.5, G=3.5) 350ma per channel. I'd like to make several wash fixtures each with 6 of these RGBs and single DMX addr per fixture. I was planning on using one of these DMX512 Decoder...

Color Kinetics ColorBlast 12’s max out at 50watt and a power supply (PDS150e) obviously being 150 watts total. In theory, I could probably do the following then. If I wanted to run 6 ColorBlast 12 fixtures off a single PDS150 and maxing the fixtures at 25 watts (somehow) I should be able to...

(part1) Will MagicQ work with an ethernet run without additional hardware. Aka, If I have CK colorblast 12's connected to my Ethernet Data Enabler > connects to standard ethernet switch which them my pc connects to. Would I be able to utilize MagicQ in this situition, I believe it does work...

Does MagicQ work over an ethernet inputed run vs all dmx? or will it only work with the DMX to USB dongle from Enttec?

I read from the CK documentation, if you have an Ethernet Data Enabler that plugs into your home computer network switch, just use quickplay software and should be able to address your fixtures. Have to make sure pc is on same subnet as your PDS (must have ethernet out)... this would work for...

So can you use a Enttec DMX to USB with quickpro to address your CK fixtures?

Yeah, I know about the connectivity of the colorcast 14's.. they are a powercore product so PS is built into unit, so can daisy chain. Just need a data enabler and would use enttec dmx to usb pro jack and run from pc software. Would anybody be able to demo one or two as a wall washer? maybe...

someone recently told me CK just reversed the pins, (negative pin) I believe, but can always check their site for wiring. I think I have to use the Enttec dmx to usb jack to use the CK software(on pc) to address each, aka, don't think you can connect directly thru the DataEnabler.. unless the...

awesome, ok, there just seemed to be alot of confusion to me at least. Likewise, I shouldn't have any issues addressing the CK fixures assumming? I guess the smart jack pro really is nothing more than rebranded Enttec dmx pro then as the one gentleman stated here.

I've seen some posts, but, haven't seen any yes or no... does or doesn't work, anybody know?

if you type in color cast 14 in google or see link here Color Kinetics ColorCast 14 ... I'm thinking these woulid be plenty sufficient for inside uplighting, just wondering how compare to others.

These fixtures total at 30watt and are about 13" long, nice wide display. Has any used these and would they suffice for wedding uplighting? Supposedly, they project upward to 13-15 feet. I know they're a bit older items but should still give nice saturated color displays I think. thanks
