Hi There! Send me an email with a phone# and I will ask my old EDI contacts. Tracy

If you want something new take a look at the Zero88 Jester TL It's got all the spec's your looking for and it has an offline editor. It's very compact as well.

Try ELS at 301-953-3679. Either Ken or Dan should be able to help you out locally. You can contact EDI directly at 503-645-5533. Tracy

Try getting an Fleenor single Opto Isolator. MKVII is an RS422 input. Your consoles don't have an isolated DMX out.

Re: DMX Distribution Question As far as a console goes take a look at Zero88's Jester ML/TL range of consoles. They will work within your budget, been on the market for about 2 years now so most of the bugs are worked out. They are also opto-isolated on the DMX output which is a good thing...

Hello, I've attached a drawing from the my Altman parts manual which should help with this. Good luck with it! Tracy

Most likely bad plugs but here's some other things to look at. If these are EDI SPP or DIMMEX packs you should also check the wiring to the receptacles. Kill the mains power and remove the covers. If this is something like the SPP 2X2 Pro those modules mating pins can also get pinched. Make sure...

As far as what PC hardware to use I recommend the brand of gear that's used in the rest of the school. That's usually the easiest to get and maintain. As for software, most of these PC based systems have "try before you buy" versions you can download and play with. These guys have some stuff you...

Getting people to agree on what to call a product can be more continuous that deciding on what it actually does. The short cleaned up version of how it became Bijou (bee-zhoo- fr. for "little jewel" unless you are Cajun in which case Bayou is fine) EDI's sales manager came in and suggested we...

Hi Ryan, looks like you have an early generation of the bijou. Before EDI made the control freak (long drawn out story about how it got that name, which requires many libations for me to relay) that was a DMX IN. I don't remember if we got it working fully or not. When we designed the CF power...

Hi there, Try F1 then the ENTER button to load the channels. Set the channel levels to where you want them then RECORD (type in your cue number) then Enter. Feel free to call EDI directly at 503-645-5533. (the Old 800 number goes to cooper controls now so you have to go through there phone...

Hi Sam, If you have the bucks and the time to learn it LD asstiant gives you a full version of autocad and some marketable skills outside of entertainment. Vectorworks is another good piece of cad software that does a great job of supporting lighting desingers. If your on a budget take a look at...

Hi Maurice! Yeah I did not have it either, but Debbie did have a scan so no sweat. TCC was replaced with the Lite in 89 I believe so you don't expect to see a lot of 20 year old+ consoles still running systems. Take care, Tracy

Here you go. As I recall the rotary time POTS on the TCC are obsolete. As long as those work you should be fine. Best of luck with it! Tracy

Hi Bill, If you want to tie an effect to a cue on the Bijou you can write 2 macros (one to load the effect to a sub and one to unload it) then go to the cue list screen and assign the macro to the cue you want the effect active in and then assign the second macro to the cue you want it off. Make...
