Hi all,
At my school, we are looking at how expandable our lighting setup is for multicolor LEDs and general longevity of our system.
I've recently been exploring our venue's system and trying to figure a lot of stuff out learning as I go along, as over the past decade there has been no cohesive documentation left. Our lighting console is a Strand presetPalette 48/96 connected via Shownet to two C21 dimmer racks. Our lights (mainly Strand's SL Coolbeams) are on motorized hoisted rails that have stage pin connectors. For the motorized rails, I was unable to see the exact model or manufacture, but there is a blue motor at the top if that helps.
Would multicolored LED fixtures work? If my understanding is correct, typically these fixtures are attached via DMX but our rails only have stage pin power outputs from the C21 dimmer racks. How would, or could, those work?
Additionally, how "reliable" is our Palette board?
Thanks!
