Hi, my name is Matt. I'm the tech manager and lighting designer/producer at my high-school. We have a decent sized auditorium with 96 dimmers/faders. We have an EDI Bijou Ver. 2.00 48/96. Along with it we have the Control Freak which is used to control moving fixtures. My first problem is that the main control board will not recognize the Control Freak. Under the Bijou's setting menu, is checked yes for CF enable. I connected a five pin xlr from the back of the Control Freak to the Input terminal on the back of the Bijou, and the whenever I press the setup buttons on the Control Freak, nothing happens on the screen. So, if you have any input that would be greatly appreciated! After fiddling with that, I decided to try just hooking up the mover to the DMX #2 slot with a 5-pin XLR to 3-Pin XLR and try running it from subs on the board. Sub 1 pan, Sub 2 gobo, etc. Well, I'm not sure how to do that exactly. I understand the DMX 512 concept. Since its in DMX #2, it goes from 513-1024. I'm pretty sure that if I set the channel on the light as 001, then the board should recognize it as value 513. Does anyone know how I to set the channels for a Mac 500? Any help would be great! Thanks, Matt.
