Hello all,We are currently mounting a production of The Producers, and want to pull off an effect during Springtime for Hitler where we project a birdseye view of the dancers on the cyc behind them. We have a good projection system, but we have never worked with live video before. The...

Anybody played around with that "Mitti" cue playback software before? Looks like a QLab clone, but it's always good for the consumer to have competition. I don't have regular access to a Mac, so I haven't messed around with the free demo, but I'm a huge user of QLab, so I'm wondering how it...

Hello all, we are currently in the process of figuring out better ways to run things lighting-wise at my theatre. QLab is of particular interest at the moment. The problem that could arise would most likely rear its head due to our outdated operating system: we're running a Congo Jr. on software...

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...

Hi,i am looking for a solution to send keystroke commands from qLab (script cue?) to a Windows PC.Important is that i am able to have this (script-)cue in my cuelist in qLab. Does anyone has an idea or simple solution?Background Info for this:I have a Windows Laptop on Stage with Webcam...

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.

Hi everyone,Not a QLab user, have a bit of a weird issue going on, would love any ideas/feedback.I have a PreSonus Audiobox iTwo that I am trying to set up as an audio out for QLab (v 2.3.9). It is attached from a USB out on the Mac (OSX 10.5.8 / 2 GHz PowerPC G5 / 2 GB DDR SDRAM) to the USB...

I’m working on a small middle school production, and my plan was to use Qlab as a show control device. I would be running projections, sound cues and lighting cues from my Macbook Pro, eliminating the need for multiple computers and operators. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble getting the...

Im looking for a way to display the midi clock to the actors onstage.Any solutions?Clay

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...

Hi Guys, first off great forum I’ve been an active stalker of the site for a while but this is my first post…Im involved in a touring theatre show next year and Id like to know if this setup would work?Basically I want my Mac Book Pro (SSD, 16Gb Ram etc..) running QLAB to:1: send video...

I've been reading up on QLab control and programming and I found in Mic Pool's QLab Cookbook a reference to encoder wheels like the Contour Shuttle. Does anyone have any experience with this product? Are there any cheaper, similar products? I really like the design and the buttons but $100 seems...

Hey guys, I am trying to see if I can build into a magic sheet the time code from Qlab. I don't want to fire cues either way, I jsut want to try to be able to see time remaining or elapsed. Is this possible? TIA!

Hello All, I am using MyDMX 2.0 to run the lights to a project I am working on. On the same computer, I also need to run Q lab for a few sound effect. Is there a way that I can make a QLab cue trigger MyDMX so I am not switching between applications? Thanks in advance, Joshua(BTW I am running...
