    Sound f/x Pre-Show Music

    Thanks rdagit, I should have specified the event in a bit more detail. It is a formal end of year awards ceremony, presenting to the best people in each faculty. It can't be anything too themed as it is for all faculties in the college. Thankfully, it is a college with an 'all emcompassing'...

    Conventional Fixtures Do you use a fixture's "integral safety attachment point"?

    Sorry, same part that you mean, where the yoke attaches to the body and has the tilt lock - sorry for confusion!

    Safety cabling on a vertical bar?

    We use these: Atom Hanging Clamp and then loop the safety bond through them. It is quite an expensive way to do it. Depending on how you are rigging your bar, you may be able to get two or three lights to the same eye. We have found that we needed to get some longer safety bonds to...

    Conventional Fixtures Do you use a fixture's "integral safety attachment point"?

    It would be an extremely good feature if it is an inertia wheel. I think if the integral safety points were in better positions, that were less restrictive to focusing, then I would be more inclined to use them. I know that the manufacturer's ought to know where the best fixing point is, but...

    Audio cue software

    Just been trying a piece of software called CSC Show Control. Got it to work using MIDI cues, SFX, and just generally plotting in reminder points of where I am in the script. Looks to just be Windows based though. Next step is to find something as good to run on Linux....

    Conventional Fixtures Do you use a fixture's "integral safety attachment point"?

    Same here. Does depend on the fixture a bit though. Anything which appears to have a 'weaker' joint between the yoke and the body will probably get attached to the safety point. As we generally use ETC stuff which has good joints - no problems!!

    Using Scrollers with a Fat Frog

    Hi All, A question for anyone who knows anything about FatFrog desks really. Got a show coming up where I am using some ChromaQ MkII Scrollers. Just wondering (as I have to use the venues FatFrog to save on the budget) how these can be patched in? Have only ever used scrollers on ETC...

    DMX Signal Problems

    I have yet to find a website or manual for the Horizon rack or the cheapo board on the Internet. It seems to be a standard fit rack and board for schools but I think that the company has gone bust. However, when I have done the same thing with other Horizon boards in other schools in the...

    DMX Signal Problems

    Further to my last post, I have been, made and tested a new terminator, but unfortunately to no avail. Back to square one if anyone else has any ideas. I have managed to test both of the lighting desks on another fully working system and have found that they both work flawlessly. Haven't...

    Martin or cheaper?

    Can't help you on the tech support side, we have always had a local company who are Robe certified come out, and I can't say whether that extends to other parts of the world.
