Control/Dimming Something new coming soon: Martin M1 console

[chris325]

Be aware that using [Touch] or [Suck], especially without [Please], could land one into a heap of trouble.

And [Kill] could have the potential to be extremely powerful/convienent. I actually got the button ideas from my previous post by looking at the Ion poster next to me...

I'm only jealous if it's 1) Made entirely of carbon fiber, not aluminum with carbon seat stays. 2) Got Red or DA, 3) Maybe a Dogma ?.

Let's see if these terms are understood by the poor lighting folks hangin' round these parts.

I'll play (I'm only confident about #1):

1. Carbon fiber- a woven cloth thing made of (surprise) carbon combined with a glue like substance which hardens it.

2.Red and DA- Networking related things

3. Dogma- do you mean DOGMA

 

[Corbettlight]

He's talking about bicycles. Nice try.

Care to expand my mind?

Care to expand my mind?

Well Corbet was headed in the right direction and I took a stab that PaulP's "bike" was a true bicycle.

The current high end series of road and mt. bikes are made entirely of carbon fiber. It's not unusual for the really expensive models to additionally have carbon handlebars, stems, cranks (front gears), rear derailer (shifting mechanism), as well as seat post and parts of the seat, pedal and shifter/brake levers. You can even get bottle cages - the things that hold a water bottle on the frame, in carbon, as well as carbon bike pumps.

Red and DA refer to the component groups that make up the drive train, with Red being the top of the line road group (groupo) from SRAM and DA being DuraAce, the top of the line groupo from Shimano.

Dogma refers to the Pinarello Dogma, which is the top of the line road bike from the Italian manufacturer of the same name. Roughly a $6,000 dollar bike, which believe it or not, is not the most expensive bike out there, but this model is considered to be a fine example of an off-the-shelf (not custom built for the user) bicycle.

As one might suspect, this is my other passion, though I don't have a Dogma. Not even a Dog.

...assuming it also came with the buttons Blind, Delete, Hang, Capture, and Learn; all of which controlled actors.

I will take 2 thank you. Price is of no concern.

I am also somewhat of a cyclist, but I did not know that Red was the top of the line of SRAM - I mean come on, everything aside from Campy Super Record and DA is a joke . As for the Dogma, what a beauty!

Alright then... I'll give you two in exchange for an Eos, 300 S4s, 100 VLXs, 100 VL3500s, a ton of Unison dimmers, and an ETC t-shirt. (Good luck on that last one...)

One word: auto-focus.


But it looks cool.

 

[PaulP514]

By Auto-Focus, I assume you are talking about the Wyg connection?

 

[Syphilis]

I meant on the video camera used for the teaser, but thank you for intuiting something much more intellectually rigorous.

 

[LD4tw]

can anyone imagine the price range loool

I am familiar with the practice of using carbon fiber in bike frames.

Shimano, really! Campagnolo is where its at.

The right angle triangle as you call it is the Martin Logo....

I second that opinion.

 

[SteveB]

I second that opinion.

Bah !. When Campy abandoned the mountain bike market I gave up on them.

Esthetically wonderful designs, very good precision equipment, extraordinarily expensive, lousy selection of road cassettes, but I do prefer the shifter cable routing. Note that I have 1 bike with Campy shifters that work very well, but run Shimano cassettes on Shimano hubbed wheels.

1 Tommaso carbon road bike
1 Lemond titanium road bike
1 Miyata steel touring bike
1 Specialized FS mt. bike
1 Fuji steel HT mt. bike
1 Vision recumbent

It's a frigging disease !

 

[PaulP514]

Hummm I guess the next time I want to have a serious conversation on lighting product I will have more chances on a bike component manufacturer forum than here!

 

[Corbettlight]

Possibly, Paul, possibly.

Steve - That's quite a collection you've got there! I am still young, and my cycling hobby is fresh, but I'm sure it will grow. As of now, I have an Orbea Aspin Sport with Campy components.
