Good to know. I hope to try the 300 soon

Kind of exciting.I can see being able to make gobos on your color printer if the heat is low enough....kinda like the cheaper LED Gobo Projectors. Should be fun.

That probably makes more sense. I was not 100% lucid during the late 80s. ;)

I guess my point was, it appears that the Element is a logical step from the Express whereas the ION is a whole leap past it.

The first "memory" board I ever had any experience with was in the mid to late 80s. It was (I am 99% sure) a Wing brand board. It had kind of a pegboard matrix that you could do all kinds of cool chases with. The board was massive and the dimmer packs killed us on load in and load out. The...

Right. I can do a Jands Software and a control surface of some kind for somewhere in that range. I read somewhere that a guy was having issues with it crashing on him but...that was only one instance of negative talk regarding Jands. We initially budgeted in the $10K range thinking that the...

That basically sounds like us (minus the High Schoolers)....but maybe adults are slower to learn?Here is an idea of our space.

Those are both very cool options. I have watched the first 13 videos. So far, it looks like the only thing it does not allow for, that some software does, is naming a light channel "drums" or something English instead of just a number...but maybe that is in a future video. :)

Does the Element allow for offline editing on a PC or Mac?

any experience with them out there? A 60W LED in the 300 would be crazy bright. Are we beginning to see real world workable LED High Power Fixtures?

Yeah, that is very cool. I watched the intro video and love how no matter how many DMX channels a fixture takes, it only takes one board channel. I doubt 500 would be a problem in that world.

Got it. That was what I was thinking but wanted to make sure I was not out on a limb.

YIKES, if the Google is not lying to me, I think the full boar is fully out of the price point. $38K?

I was wondering about that with the Element. It says 500 channels but also says 1024 outputs. I am not sure I understand that. I assume that means my 99 conventional channels eat a real 99 channels. However, my LEDs in 9 channel mode (162 channels) and my ColorKeys in 6 channel mode (48)...

It appears I got the cart out in front of the horse and didn't post here before diving in. I have been lurking for a long time and have gotten a ton of great info. We are in the middle of a tech upgrade and finally felt the need to actually ask some questions instead of just reading. I have...
