dmx

I was wondering if there was any dmx control software for older computers, I was hoping to get something working on an iMac G4, but the older the computer the better.

Hello,I've been asked to help recreate a show on location (a community hall) and am thinking I could take some D-40's on some trees to light up the stage. I have a ETC dongle, but short of taking our console, can anyone suggest a way to trigger effects or cues? Can I use the ETC Family...

I am wondering if anyone has any products in mind that would work my the show I am building. The design calls for globes in a tree that are all RGBW, DMX controllable, and wireless. I have found a lot of LED gear out there but nothing that meets all three requirements. I don't need to it be a...

I'm helping out a theatre purchasing some new lighting equipment. Given that they tour from 2 different cities across the state multiple times a year I thought that it might be helpful for them to get a couple of showbaby wireless dmx devices. Some that stay, some that go, some that are in box...

Maybe I'm just daydreaming here...Is there a product out there that outputs on multiple Wireless DMX bands? Something that can talk both to CRMX units and W-DMX units? Or is this not feasible?

Hi:Total newbie to this forum, with a question to the experts out there.I have two sets of three 1500W quartz fixtures (i.e. 4500W per set), running off 220 or 240 V. I would like to be able to control them--on/off only--with a DMX relay, so that I can do this from my console rather than...

Hello, I am a part of high school theater company and we are putting on a production of Still Life with Iris by Steven Dietz. In this play, there are numerous moments where the main character recalls a still life image and a smaller version needs to be seen by the audience. We have created a...

Hello All, I am working on a converted cathedral about 1200 seats. Control is MA2 on PC to a POE gigabyte switch. I need 2 DMX uni's on the truss and say 2 or 4 backstage. The nodes should have both input and pass through for the network. I plan on running Cat 5e or Cat 6 depending on price...

Has anyone had experience using Venue ThinPar 64s? For a show we are using about 26 in one DMX line with some other fixtures (movers, geyser fog machines) and all our other fixtures work great but the LEDs just don't seem to want to work right... Incorrect channels will turn on lights, some...

We are a small community concert provider in Montana and acquired some moving lights with expanding to more later, (2 now more later) and am trying to find a affordable controller (new or used) that would fit the bill for both moving and non-moving dmx fixtures. Some of the ones I have looked...

Hi All, I recently acquired a number of color pro classic fixtures. These are the old ones that used 3 MR-16 lamps. The only way I currently have to control them is with the proprietary controller that came with them. However from what I can gather online from others, and from the High End...

Hi everyone! I'm an undergrad trying to light a ~13ft light box with LED strip lights. We've been trying to figure out how to control them with our ETC Ion board. We don't know exactly what materials we need other than the board, strip lights, and dmx box. Also, if its possible, we also wanted...

Hello everyone, I bought some used SGM Idea Spot 575's some time ago, but the DMX input stopped working on one of them. Now, I've already checked the wires through, and nothing seems to have blown up on the two control PCB's, so I'm rather clueless as to what would have caused this. Before it...

Hey there, Does anyone know of any good free or cheap DMX Control Software? I have an ENT TEC USB to DMX light controller and will be using a windows laptop if that helps.

I have a generic rgbw par 64 that started out functioning just fine. After a few shows the white leds quit working in dmx mode. They would work in other modes properly but everytime I put it back in dmx, nothing. Yesterday, I turned it on and now the whites are staying on and I have no...

I'm in a theater with an unknown number of dimmers and an ETC Element (250-channel model). By patching channel 200 to addresses 210 through 505, I can get a specific light to light up. What I want to do is figure out which address in particular controls that specific light. I could use a kind of...

I an contemplating -- because I am a weirdo -- the idea of repurposing a dead Express console as a wing, say, for M-PC, by ripping out the existing CPU board, and replacing it with something more... malleable. Like an Arduino. Or an RPi 3, with some hat.Anyone got a 48/96 gathering dust in a...

Hey guys, A friend of mine is in tech for a show out in LA and ran into an issue where the theatre only has 4 As-42 dimmer packs from lightronics, of which only 1 has DMX out, which of course, pins 1, 4, and 5 are broken. He is trying to run into an artnet node to run lighting off QLab. Anyone...

I attempted to hook up my Rosco Delta 3000 to a network, which we discovered after the fact that was not supposed to happen. The thing won't work now and I really need to fix it. I checked the fuses and they are intact. I know this machine was discontinued, but if anyone out there has any info...
