Given the fact that these are the requirements just to transfer a fixture profile, I doubt it.However, someone on Reddit says you can go from .Dot2 to MA2.

We ended up just doing an iPad with a ACN Node. It was better for that client anyways as really all they wanted was a color picker and a handful of scenes they could record on the fly.

We had a few of these in an install and ended up ripping them out for the same reasons you are having. My theory is that they constantly wrote to the SD-Card because we would go through a SD-Card once a week.

Honestly it's all personal opinion. If you are running the show, then whatever it takes to make the show look good that you are comfortable with is your answer. If you are programming a festival rig for others to walk up and use, keep it simple. A executor that has each type or group of light's...

I never got around to modifying them to run off AC. I wouldn't recommend attempting to do any modifications involving mains power unless you know what you are doing.What I ended up doing was removing the entire amp assembly and putting a piece of wood with a 1/4" jack in its place and just...

Try right clicking your fixture in MA3D and click simple duplicate.

I believe these have some menu options for stand along functionality. Make sure your dimmer curve is set for Linear (LN I believe). You can also try a factory reset which I believe is achieved by holding menu and then turning on the breakers for channels 1-3.

1) Executors can do just about anything. You can store Macros, Sequences, Masters, and probably more things I haven't discovered yet on them. Research temp faders, they are super useful. 2) Create your look hit store and tap a button associated with that executor. If you try and store a second...

I second OLA. Wonderful piece of software.

We have some Chauvet Legend 230 Beams. Never used one next to a Sharpy but they do what you would expect a beam to do. They are discontinued now but the Rogue R2 Beams are the same fixture with a new name.

Why don't you use the Leprecon to trigger Qlab? Sounds like you got that side working.

What kind of projectors? If they are classroom/office projectors you're gonna have a hard time regardless. But a decent projector like a Christi, Barco, or Panasonic should have the ability to stack and make a solid image.

You would need the Midi box from Chamsys to get timecode out of the laptop (I assume you where hoping to remote into the laptop to control the strand?).You would be better off getting a ChamSys Dongle and just unplugging the strand while focusing. Then you also have a backup desk.

How about a laptop with some programmable USB buttons (think arcade style) or a DJ turntable interface (like a VMS 4.1 or something along those lines).

I'd recommend a wash light first. Decent beam angle and color seems like it would be the most important. You can also get some cool eye candy effects if they allow zoning or pixel mapping control of individual LEDs. At work we have Chauvet Rogue R2s, which might not be what would suit you best...
