I am a Middle School teacher and the "technical director" of our drama department. We are using an old Melange Pro light board with 6-DDS6000 packs. We have 24 channels (I believe) and 37 old incandescent PAR fixtures. We run plays and musicals from a small stage that feeds out to the gym. We pre-program the light cues and run them back from the internal memory. No moving lights. The board is ready to be replaced.
I saw the dmx-lator and was told that we could get a new board and that it should be seamless (or software-magicQ and run on my laptop?). I was also told that the Leviton MC 7000 series would work and can hook up to our old lights and offers dmx512 for new ones.
I am new to this all and really don't know enough to make an informed decision (but I am trying to learn). Any insight would be great.
Thanks,
Dennis
