    Painting FOH Bulbs

    Just a thought which maybe could work: embrace the difference and place the (c)old ones alternately with the new warmer ones. When done consistently chances are anyone thinks it's designed that way.

    First Aid kits

    For AED's scheduled maintenance is advised. A regularly check, at least once a year, is mandatory. The check must at least include the status of the battery and the pads. Both have an expiration date. As far as I know will most AED's give a sign if the battery has to be replaced. Our former...

    PC devices no longer work on system But Apple still works

    I agree with Ruinexplorer. Probably some how the handshake doesn't succeed. You can try setting another (lower) resolution or refresh rate in your screen options. Or put a simple HDMI-splitter between your laptop and transmitter. This was the only solution for me to get SCS send video over my...

    First Aid kits

    On this site of the Atlantic Naxolone is certainly not available over the counter. At least here in the Netherlands, I presume the same goes for (most of) Europe. As a fully trained first aider I am not allowed to administer it. Nor are first aiders with a specialization for festivals. They have...

    I'm curious, why did you make that last stipulation?

    Converting SMD5050 RGB+ header analog to DMX or other systems

    @Malabaristo , you are right, the controller outputs will not easily convert to DMX. And in mine opinion investing in that solution knowing the next step will a new and more up to date system is, in my opinion, dumping money in the pool. AsI read the TS (with some corona sheep wandering in my...

    Converting SMD5050 RGB+ header analog to DMX or other systems

    I think, very humble, you are on one of those journeys the real question is: "Do I invest in hardware and mental input to reconvert my existing data, or start from scratch with aa new system and try step by step recreating the existing programs.. In both ways you end with the eight programs in...

    Is it possible to control the new Philips interact house light with our light console?

    All I know that it will be dimmable luminaries, presumably something like this panel, controlled by Interact. They will install an Interact dimmer backstage (same location as the currennt dimmer). Yesterday I've been told there will be a second Interact dimmer provided that I can place besides...

    Is it possible to control the new Philips interact house light with our light console?

    Is there a way we can control our new house light with our lighting console? Current situation: the house lights consists of dimmable fluorescent lighting. With a key switch you can opt for operation with a standard installation dimmer or via a DMX converter, which is controlled by our Chamsys...

    Specific 360Q Rebuild Questions (have done due diligence on searching these awesome threads)

    I remember with some embarrassment the new part-timer I sent all those years ago to the basement to look for the "blikuitdeuker", that would be an apparatus to remove dents from food cans. She's been around the building, and ends with telling the boss she can't find it. He said, trying to hide...

    Rear Projection

    I've not done rear projection on a scrim, that said I have some experience with rearprojection on a screen. The hotspot can there be a problem, which can be handled by putting the projector low behind the black curtain (how do you call that?) under the screen so the public can't see the...

    Stage windows

    Here we avoid the whole SI/imperial/freedom-units discussion by saying "Give him a finger an he takes the whole hand". Thinking about that, would the saying be: "Give him a thumb..." it had easily gone wrong. In early times we used de unit duim (thumb) which is an equilavent to inch...

    2022 Olympics

    The venues will also have pre- and post-olympics activities, where the moving lights may be usefull. All the indoor events where held in renovated venues, mostly from the 2008 Summer olympics. All except one: the speed skating competition as seen in the video and photo. That's build on the old...

    Middle School Theatre cameras - on a budget

    Since I'm not really cameraguy I had a pragmatic approach. After setting a basic lighting, one camera was set as good as i could do. Starting with it's basic setting, adjusting the white balance, and possible some things as diaphragm and such so it delivered a nice picture on the monitor. Most...

    Middle School Theatre cameras - on a budget

    First, I am not a video-expert. However, we've had some streaming projects last year because no public in school was allowed. We used up to four Sony FDR-AX53 camcorders with a Atem mini. We hired some led-panels for lighting. No problems with white balance an good picture quality. Sound was...
