Hey all! Couple questions from a relative newbie. ETC Express Board. I can only add channels up to 125, so guess that means I have the Express 125(?). Does that mean I am limited to 125 dmx addresses, less my 48 dimmers? If that’s the case, does that also mean I do not have access to the...

Can’t wait (i.e., impatient) for tech support to open tomorrow — hoping you guys might be helpful.Just got an Enttech DMX Pro Mk2 (USB) for my MacBook Air (2011).Problem is it continues to blink white, which apparently means idle and ready, and I am not able to get any Qlab commands to be...

Hey guys, I help run the lights at my school and we have had some recent issues with our house lights. When we try to control the house lights via the light board or via the light control switches throughout the Auditorium they dont respond in anyway. They remain on and refuse to listen to...

Not sure if this is possible to do, but here's what we're wondering: We're running into a lot of quick plot re-hangs where fixtures are moving around between any of 9 universes frequently. We're trying to see if there's a way to have the Console or Concert automatically reassign fixture DMX...

It's been a LONG TIME, but DMXGAFF is coming soon!

Hi all,Our Show Baby randomly stops transmitting during shows. Unplugging and replugging the DMX cable from the Ion seems to "wake it up" and it's fine for a while, then cuts out again. We have never had issues with it before. Thoughts?Thanks,Josh

Hi everyone,This is a long shot, but do any of you know where I can find a four scene Lytemode DMX wall panel? Not the master station, just the panel itself. I've found one master station on ebay for a very high price, but it won't do any good. Yes, I know the real solution is to upgrade out...

Last summer my theatre purchased two Chauvet R3 Spot intel lights. They are connected to Showbaby wireless dmx and are powered by parked dimmers. During the past two productions of our musical, part way through the show they failed to turn on. I have had trouble figuring out if it’s the light...

Okay, so I work at an Event center/venue. I've been tasked upgrading out lighting "system". Currently, we have track lighting with an assortment of par38 and par 36 bulbs all over the place. These are all run back to wall outlets that use cheapo inline dimmers from the home despot. For obvious...

Hello all, I am involved with the ESTA CPWQ task group that is currently working on plans for future protocols. As a part of that effort a survey was written to gauge peoples satisfaction with current protocols, fixture libraries, etc... We'd like to have as many participants as possible and the...

I'm not sure what else to call it but after literal hours of Google I just have no clue. Any tips would be appreciated! -- I have a 6-channel Leprecon LD 360 DMX dimmer pack with 4 fresnels and 2 practicals (normal lamp bulbs) hooked in. They all run correctly and independently on the channels...

We bought 4 used DDS 9800 dimmers, and 4 DMX conversion kits. Converted one to DMX, and tested. Several of the no load LEDs were solid on and channels full on. So converted one of our 9800's we know works on MPX, and that one worked great on DMX. So we tried converting a second 9800 from the...

Hello,There is this huge yearly event coming up at our school and I am the technical director for this event. There are some pretty big performances and poets coming for this and I'd like to be able to use some of the theater's fixtures to light up these performances.I will be purchasing...

Hey all, I'm looking at artnet to help expand the amount of channels my movers can take up on my board.Currently I'm using two separate dmx transmitters for two different universes. Is there any way that I can transfer artnet wirelessly, or is there a better way to wirelessly run a lot of...

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with some LED tape.I have a billboard in a show I'm working on. There are 4 lights at the bottom. Inside the housings are 2 runs of LED tape. RGBW 12v, and tunable white 24v. I have Environmental Lights DMX decoders for them all. They have DMX down to the...

I bought a Showbaby 6 in May of 2018. It recently has been having issues where it cannot recieve a signal. I tried changing the ateni but it didn’t help. I also put it as the dmx transmitter at the board. When I did this it could only interact with the closest 3 led pars. It couldn’t control the...

So I have a city theatrical Showbaby Wireless DMX 6 attached to my etc ion. I was wondering if that could connect to the wireless Chauvet FlareCon that is contained within each freedom par. I know they both run on the same frequency so how would I make them communicate?

This is probably a terrible ideas but I want to know. Is it possible to send a 3pin dmx signal down a dimming circuit that is not connected to a dimmer? Would there be too much interference from other live circuits?

Hey everybody!I’m looking to be able to control about 5 Philips Hue color ambiance bulbs through DMX with an ION board. Has anyone had experience with this and can help me out with it?

Hello everyone!We are renting a few ADJ Eco Bar UV lights for our production of A Christmas Carol to be able to do some fun effects.I have used a Chauvet Geyser with our board before, and we are using that again in this show. The way I set that up is to output DMX signal from the “universe...
