I have been using i-cues for years, and the past couple of seasons the company I work for has had increasing issues with the i-cues holding their correct position. Or more accurately homing to a consistent position. Causing either the programming to be off position (as it did not home correctly at the start of a long day of tech and writing cues) or the run of a show to be off position. I know I-cues are not always the most reliable accessory, but this has become a more common issue. The same issue presents itself with the units that are a few years old, as well as in the units purchased just last season. In conversations with another theatre company that had similar issues, they made a macro that pushed the motors to their extreme pan and tilt positions, thus resetting the parameters on the unit and correcting the issue. This works much of the time, but is not a 100% solution.
Has anyone else come across the issue of an icue not homing correctly causing the light to be off by several feet through the whole show? I am wondering if it is a network issue as our network is about 25 years old. The console is an ETC ion.
As we typically use the i-cues in combination with a DMX iris, we are creating a low-end, low-profile moving light. What other fixtures would be good for a similar low-profile and low-cost moving light?
