    Video Specific workbox/toolbox

    It would need to be somewhat small. I would need to fit it in the car. I might be taking on a job on a cruise line, and so it would need to be somewhat mobile.

    Video Specific workbox/toolbox

    Hey everyone, I was looking for some advice on putting together a workbox/toolbox that I will carry with me gig to gig. I'm looking to see what you guys who specialize in video think I should carry day to day, and what little odd things that might not have been thought of originally but have...

    search for widescreen Front projection Screen

    this is a good point. i think the question could be asked, why not just mount it on a baton. it really wouldn't weight more than a standard curtain.

    Wireless Video (Pros/Cons/Experience)

    Wireless Video (Pros/Cons/Experience)

    those aren't wires there circuit boards i think that binging up wireless mics is a great example. we are willing to compete with cellphones, TV stations, two way radios, cordless phones, and many other unknowns in that spectrum its insane. so my question is that why cant we do the same...

    Wireless Video (Pros/Cons/Experience)

    its not as bad as you may think. avocent has a system that may only cost you $2000 for a complete hdmi, or dvi plus audio system that runs over 802.11 i also saw that markertek.com had some other options on 802.11. its true that the most reliable systems are expensive, but the price is coming...

    ok, this basically conforms what i already know. so we figured out a solution where we drop the basket, then after a short 20 sec time period then we lift the basket and we strike the hoses. this allows for the initial effect and the cloud to move on its own pressure. the condensation would...

    Hazers vs. Smoke/Fire alarms

    i would suggest getting with the company that installed the alarm system and scheduling a day to test. if the alarm system auto calls they put you in a test mode where the fire dpt. wont stop by for a visit. run the hazer to the level that you want to fill the room, then let it sit for 20 mins...
