How rare do you all imagine a resident LD would be? I imagine they would frequently be a ME also... I feel like a "semi-professional" theatre (see earlier posts...) would have a sound/lighting guy on staff typically.

Or a Pacifica! Anyone ever tried the whole plastic gobo deal? Never seen one before.

Thanks guys, a lot of good info. I actually had in mind the sorts of computer case mods... those are intense, especially the steampunks. I don't know if this will ever even happen, but if it does that certainly won't be that complex! As for talk of the cost equaling that of a real...

Can't lie that's pretty sweet. Not saying that I am particularly a fan of slipknot... Maybe they're strapped for cash and needed some dimmers? No? Ok.

Very nice! Still, however, does not compare to the original, the DMX coffe pot. Brilliant.

BCF2000 doesn't work with Magic Q, good to know. I understand that the case will take more a great deal of money and time, but also remember that I'm only just barely considering this, I don't have any definite plans to go forward, just curious as to how this has been done before and any...

I see, sorry bout that.

I've been hearing some other issues with the Open DMX... hmmm. I guess I'll probably go with the Pro, for stability and for the added DMX input being quite nice. There's nothing exactly advantageous about building a custom case except containing everything in one case (computer, faderboard...

I don't know anything about patents, so I may be saying crazy stuff, but just at first glance it says the patent was issued in 1988? So times aren't lining up here...

Well I'll be darned, you're right. Its funny how I forgot that good old fashioned humans are useful now and again for more than just pushing buttons...

Just watched the Daughtry video. Personally, I would have loaded up with Some bright LED backlighting, a bunch of Mole Lights, and Atomic Strobes, and video screens. Although... putting up a bunch of video screens would be difficult as your competing with that ridiculous of an imag up above...

Agreed, the beams were doing nothing with the field lights on.

Definately agree. It was just a little gimmicky... clearly not really on the field.I have to admit, the first time it was on... thought they turned on some serious LEDs...

I've been doing some searching around, and I've dug up a little bit from some old threads, including this link from Len's post a while back. Very interesting.Otherwise I've found very scattered information about it. I have an older (XP) laptop I'm thinking about doing something with, and...

Def showguns. Look at :13 and :50 Interesting video effect on the field by the way...
