Hey, all. I've been lurking for a while, finally decided to register and post because we have a pretty major crisis at my school's theatre. Our TD, who gave instruction in lighting, sound, construction, rigging, etc, had a stroke this weekend and probably won't be able to do any work for our show on which we're starting production this week. He's our handbook for basically everything, so the whole program is kinda flipping out :/
I'm the student lighting designer, so I have to worry about a few specific problems including finding rental contacts, budget stuff, etc. which would normally be dealt with by our TD; most importantly, though, I have to deal with our new board. The touch screen on our console broke last year so we planned on replacing it with the MA onPC Command Wing this summer. We have the control wing sitting in the theatre now, but we don't have a computer on which to run it, nor the two touch screens we planned to set up with it. Our TD had plans for the whole setup and he handled the finances, but I'm sort of in the dark on how to set up (let alone operate) the system.
If anyone here is familiar with the MA CommandWing and its setup/config procedures, it would be great to get some advice/suggestions. We're also looking for online resources to learn the system. We don't have another board to use as of right now, and we want as much time to tinker as we can so that we can program by late October.
Thanks everyone. Any help is much appreciated.
