Hi, all
Long time no post (since sometime in 2005. Heh). In the intervening time, we've been rebuilding our theatre (destroyed in a fire in 2002) and we're getting pretty close to opening (first show in July. Scary (since I'm the guy in charge of building))
In any case, we've got a 28 channel setup (24 2000 Watt channels, plus a 4 channel portable dimmer that we intend to use for assorted specials - 4 channels sharing 120V@20amps). We were donated a ColorTrans Medallion that we're intending to use as our lighting board and we're just starting pulling it out of storage, giving it a good cleaning/dusting, firing it up, etc.
Anybody ever use this board? Any gotchas or tricks or anything we should know? As far as we know, it should work fine - it was replaced in its original venue just to update to something more modern and it should be far larger than we need, but other than that, is there something we ought to know?
