Well, some people will remember a lot of my discussion of the I-Cue, which I finally hooked up the other day. (Tuesday to be exact.) I have a lot more homework to do tonight, and derek has been telling me to stay off CB, so I'll keep this post brief.
I noticed in the booth while doing some cleaning (the entire crew came in for a cleanup period, after a PM discussion with derek regarding "Pride Of Place".) a female "PC power connector" on a male stage pin. My mind instantly shot to our rotator, but it turns out our Rosco Vortex 360 (I think I have the model name correct.) rotator has a "wall wart" power cable. My next thought was our Rosco PSU-50W (Power Supply) which I just hooked up in the catwalks. Now I think I just figured out what the connector is for while typing, (Rosco ImagePro GOBO Slide Projector) but my question is still bothering me. Can/should a PSU be plugged in for extended periods of time, how about units such as Ellipiscans, I-Cues and Scrollers powered off these supplies? In retrospect, it probably wasn't the best idea to leave the I-Cue powered since Tuesday afternoon. Is this okay, and is it SOP to leave accessories like these powered, and PSUs on? I thought it would be, but now I'm really second guessing myself. Is there any "correct" way of dealing with this? Such as unplugging the PSU after each use? More guidance in this area would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Charc
