DMX Operator II

I'm about to leave so i got to make a quick post

hey estrello! you know the DMX programmer is a nice little tabletop controller and it holds a total of 96 scenes and u can then mix those scenes up into 4 chases as you see fit. i actually recommend the DMX operator 192 but i think for a small set up like yours try for the programmer. you can do a little bit more with the programmer than u can with the op. i would say e-mail me your info and we can send you out some instructional DVDs and then you can see for yourself which one looks easier to use and then go buy it. lol. e-mail me your address here jamesk@elationlighting.com

do u knw how to localize where the acu spots focuses it lights, meaning if i am doing a stage program, how to get the lights to only play around on the ceiling, or only on the stage, or to go to the audience, and back and forth. or is this not possible.

Hi Jpal,
That's what the guys were trying to explain to you.
Your controller does not have pre generated movements.
The feature you are asking about is only found in the Showdesigner series controllers and Compu live software.

In your situation you will need to record multiple scenes.
for example, if you want a circle on the wall or cieling. you need to position the light in one spot..then record that position into a scene, you then follow the same process till you have made about 4 - 8 position scenes following a circular pattern.

After all 8 scenes are recorded, you can now combine them together in a chase..You need to do a lot of these... these are the joys of programming.

Best regards,

ohh, ok thanks, i thought they were speaking of the par can. now has the acuspots 250II's had any problems b4 of overheating or just shutting off the power, bcause i used it for 1 program, and it shut off after a little while meaning the lamp shut off, and then it went to stationary position. Has there been any other complaints or worries like this.

Not sure.. the accu spot is by American Dj..
you would have to hop on that forum or call ADJ support.

i would call support cause i have never heard of that happening.
