Do not put a Mac on a Dante network that is running Catalina... It is a disaster. Wait for the updated version of Dante Control to be released. They are really slow at releasing an update.

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...

Our theater recently had a 2005 power mac fall into our laps, is there any way we can put this thing to use besides as a door stop? I was hoping to use it for audio as it has optical audio out. We need software similar to qlab, but will run on a power pc cpu.

I want to introduce my brand new V-Control 4.0. V-Control is (as far as I know) the only Open Source Show Control Software for professional usage. V-Control is available for Windows 64 Bit, Linux 64 Bit, Raspberry Pi 32 Bit, and soon for MacOS X. V-Control 4 is not really comparable with...

Hello All, I am having an issue with one of our Martin Mac 2000 Performances. The fixture boots up as normal however the "Service" light is illuminated. Once I send the Lamp On command via the Console [ETC Ion], I can clearly hear the Relay click. After a moment the display starts to flash...

Can you hang a mac 2k horizontally? 90° from a vertical pipe? Can't find it in the manual.

I have recently gotten my hands on several Martin MAC2000 Performance fixtures that have been heavily used but still seemed to be working fine. I did a very quick test of all the functions with them sitting on my stage and everything looked fine. I have now hung them (so they are upside down...

I'm trying to make myself a simple live digital scoreboard projection, but what I thought would be an easy task is proving either outrageously expensive or tough on a Mac. All I'm looking for is to overlay text boxes on a scoreboard graphic and manipulate it without the audience seeing my mouse...

I am running ETCnomad can i get my DMX through an exciting system with an ETCnet hookup. I tried plugging the ethernet cable in but it was not being recognized as being in a network port in network settings in the shell. I am running from a Mac.

Hi there, We just recently purchased 6 Martin Mac 301 fixtures from 4Wall (usedlighting.com). They were all working great, but one of them was taking about 45 seconds longer to boot. After about 2 days of use, this one will not turn on at all. The fan on the underside of the fixture will not...

Hello all, I have a Martin Mac 2k Performance that until the other day was working fine with no issues. Suddenly it began displaying an "OPEN" error which according to the general users manual means the Lamp access panel is not fully secured. I have checked the panel many times and replaced the...

Hello, I am currently halfway through upgrading my venue's lighting stock which consisted of strand 2k alto fresnels/profiles and 24 1k pars. Our strand 530i has been replaced with a grandma2 ultra light with additional touchscreen and fader wing. FOH: 6 b-eye k10s, 8 robe dl4s. On stage: 12...

A smaller theatre I work with has a lovely iMac 5k that has the high end specs that had been refurbished so we got it on the cheap. The only flaw with it is it carries a regular 7200 RPM hard drive. I'm already aware of how difficult it is to open a new iMac ("moderate" actually) so I was...

I have been bashing my head against the wall trying to control any of my 15 projectors via serial commands and my macbook pro. I am using a USB serial interface with CoolTerm and a cross over serial cable. I see the usb serial driver and looping back pin 2 & 3 shows the exact hex code that...
