first time user of the Omega 2 need help

[gaustin]

Greetings, CB!
I've had lots of experience in lighting for film and episodic television, but I do not have any theatrical experience with a programmable dimmer board. I am volunteering to do the lighting for the one night run of a small production in May. The theatre has an Omega 2 Control Console. I'v downloaded the manual and have begun reading it. However, I'm hoping there might be a tutorial on the Internet somewhere on how to use that dimmer board. Do you happen to know of one? If not, are there any books you could recommend to augment the manual? Thank you very much for your time. It's most appreciated!

I used that console in the mid to late 90's. I don't think there were very many built and finding information is going to be difficult. IIRC, the syntax is pretty easy to grasp. Do you have the fader wing too?

Am I the only one that thought this might be about fish oil and high blood pressure? Oh well.....

Haha. I missed the "2" and thought it was going to be an easy question about Martin Omega brackets.
