Amazingly, I have not been able to find the answer to this question in the oh-so-clear, 440-page pamphlet that comes with the ETC Ion.I have learned how to program basic cues and play them from a cue list. When I play a cue, channels set to specific intensities fade to those intensities...

In my previous post, Stupid Ion Questions 1, I don't think I ever quite got around to asking this, but having now spent some time programming there (finally, shut up) and on our Express 24/48, I now have one very specific, laser-focused question:When I build a look out of submasters and...

Hello,New member here so be gentle.I'm looking for some help with an issue with Qlab 4 and sending MSC commands from my Mac to our ION desk. Firstly, I had it all setup and working to send commands over USB to fire the lighting cues. For our normal performances (live conferences, live...

Hello everyone, Our theater just finished settings up multiple consoles. We have an ETC Ion and Hog 4 PC on a Net2 lighting network. Everything works great except for moving lights. This is because the network works that the highest value for each DMX address is the value that is outputted...

Hey All,I'm doing a show with an Ion running v2.5 and some Forerunner 7" scrollers (powered by Apollo's Smart PSU if it matters).My ME just went to calibrate the scrollers and it seems the profile has changed? You can't wheel to the +/- of the frame and then hold down the encoder and hit...

I was wondering what the best practices for programming video on the ETC ION are. We're thinking we have to cue Q-Lab through the ion board (having one cue list for lighting and another cue list for video, and then linking them together). I've never done this before so any help would be greatly...

Just had the whackiest thing happen to an LD on a show I'm working on.We just finished the Act 1 tech, and he went merrily along writing cues in the 100 and 200 number series for the first half. Played a few of them back along the way with Goto Cue, and everything worked just exactly like it...

Having a weird issue with one of our Ions. It just started to randomly input values / commands and ignore others. I can see that a channel is put in the command line but then the last digit will be cleared as if someone hit backspace. Sometimes the command line is completed without hitting...

We recently replaced the video card in our RVI. The dual link dvi one. ATI FireMV 2200 128M. I have not been able to make it work. Tried installing the driver to XP and bricked the unit and had to reimage. Our issue is that the dual link DVI operates as just a single output, both displays are...

I've been trying to control a ION light board with Qlab and a USB to MIDI wire. I have all the licenses. But nothing happens when I press go.

Hey all!I was wondering if anyone had outfitted a Nomad system w/X-keys 80?I would love to borrow that setup if someone was willing to share!I have tried to start with the 60key setup from ETC, but having difficulties since I have an 80key plugged in.Thanks! -Driscoll...

So I am looking into a nomad setup for a mix use space in University Student Union Building(Ballrooms, Live shows, etc...). None of my students are particularly tech students so I was looking at getting a setup with nomad involving a touch screen and some magic sheets so they could quickly build...

Hello interwebs! Working with a projection designer right now and having issues with our MSC setup. I did this a few months ago and stupidly decided not to write anything down. Running on the latest software in both Ion and Qlab 3, but cant seem to get the Midi to connect.I've run through...

Hello I am in currently a bit of a tight spot.I am trying to trigger my light Q's in an ETC ION via MSC messages in Qlab 3. I have done everything just about every manual says to do in terms of device ID, Shocwontrol setup in the console, and making sure that the MSC cue in Qlab is set to...

HELP! My 10x10 universal fader wing display is not functioning properly. The light is on but no labels display nor does the ETC namesake appear on boot up like the other fader wings. HOWEVER, the fader still operates the lights assigned to the sub, it just doesn't display anything. I can also...

Greetings! I am having a very peculiar challenge and am wondering if anyone has experienced similar things. While trying to interface an ETC Ion with Entertainment Technology Intelligent Raceway, I was unsuccessful getting the console to output to these dimmers directly. I first tried using a...

Hi all,I have a very low-end LED controller with Cat5 ports that I am trying to run directly into an ETC Ion. I can't seem to make the light board see the controller, although the controller claims it can go directly into any DMX control system. I have tried all of the deep settings in the...
