Is this a spam in a can show or are there go buttons to fire sets of effects at important points in the script? {^_^} I'm just curious and in theater tech...
... Yes, this would be of interest to me as well. If it's a canned show, you could easily pull the Hogs after recording the DMX streams....! ... Um.... as has...
... As opposed to those old disobedient Strand, Altman, and ETC Lekos, Fresnels and Par Cans? ;-)) Down, boy, DOWN!!!! I SAID!!!! Or crap, the Leko did a...
Our new DC dimmer is just about ready for sale and I was wondering how important people think adding RDM to it is? I'm sure I won't have it up by the Stage...
... That depends on what functionality RDM brings to the dimmer. If it's only to add an RDM dot-point to the features section of the brochure, then it's a...
... True. ... For the dimmer, it would report back faults (on our little DC dimmer, overheat/overload are the only faults). Also, the default levels the ...
Hello, ... If RDM is monitoring the dimmer, you should respect that the data-rate is decreasing. We thought of using RDM-Dimmers for a local television studio,...
I know this is kinda beside the point, if a three phase dimmer could remotely tell me... - overheat - overload (trip circuit) - no load - current output (in...
... I think the Jands HUB24 already does that. I have one and I'm sure I read something about being able to set the max draw per phase via setup. Or do you...

... The RDM packets would only be every so often (say 1 in 50), so would not really affect the DMX update rate to any significant degree would they? David......

... Yep - that is what I mean. Plug in a 3K load, dimmer fades up and checks the load and sets the top trim to 80% of full. Most of points I made can be done,...
... The above isn't hard in larger dimmers (one's with board space and budget to allow the extra parts/firmware). ... This, too, isn't all that hard. ... ...
It's what I'm guessing you might call spam in a can. The "show" is a 6:30min lighting/sound/water feature/winch/animated set piece show running all Feb for...
... I seem to recall that the Bytecraft (StateAutomation) VST Sinewave dimmers were doing about 95% of that (plus a lot of other stuff) in 2000 when they were...
As I've just said in another post, it is canned. The show that runs throughout the rest of the year has been recorded onto DMX recorders, however we find it...
... of ... show, you could ... Disclaimer: Horizon grew out of a show control system, not a theatrical lighting system, so I am definitely biased in this ...
ok... let me ask the question: is this a show control or lighting control system? can be triggered from: * SMPTE * Midi Notes * Telnet * Serial * Opto-22...
Hi, ... That depends on your system, if you have a lot of fixtures and they all want to tell you everything they know about themself it can reduce signicantly ...
... Yes, you are quite right! But my point was that if this canned show contained none of those applications, there could be no need for several expensive Hog...
... Unless it can be triggered by MSC, then I don't consider it to be a show control system because most other show control systems do that plus everything...
... No there won't. Devices only transmit in response to a request from the controller. If it only asks for the temperature once a minute, then that is how ...
It sounds like it is "every performance identical to all the others to the limit of our ability to control it." And yes, they can be quite artistic shows but...
I think one of the means John "Wrote the book" Huntington uses to discriminate the terms is the answer to "how many different control protocol interfaces does...
My decider is what the interface is designed to do. I think a lot of systems qualify as Show Control by all other measures, including Horizon. The key is what...
Charlie: Thanks for your input, it's nice to hear some seasoned perspective. You're right about Disney, but that's a case where the lighting control folks...
Except that we own "several expensive Hog systems" (4) which would have no use during this time. They were purchased specifically to program new shows, and in...
