Re: Stage Pak 1 how to set up?
Oh man I can't tell you how much I laughed at that! Ok anyways, DMX, it really is a cool thing. Here are some basics. DMX stands for D igital M ultiple X . It is a way for each and every (DMX Compatible ) light, made by any manufacturer, to interact with an universal DMX controller. In a standard DMX protocol (called 512-DMX protocol) there are a total of 512 "channels" In order to get your lights to interact with the controller, you must address them. There are 2 ways (that I know of) that...

Re: DMX Operator Pro and MIDI
I've been asked to jump since I did a LOT of testing with MyDMX and MIDI and had documentable and repeatable results. Issue 1: Does MyDMX respond to MIDI triggers? Yes, it does. This has been resolved and in the latest version, you can use MIDI triggering, so we can just move forward from that. Issue 2: How easy is it to trigger MyDMX? Well, it really depends. Overall, the answer is yes, since most people are going to use MIDI NOTE ON commands for triggering scenes. Once a triggers are...

Re: DMX Operator Pro and MIDI
thanks everyone. I am going to really dig deep into the mydmx software tonight. I am fairly familiar with the compuware software so I hope it isn't to different. I would still like to have a couple questions answered about the operator pro though: Can you independently choose par scenes/chases from moving light scenes/chases? Is this the case with MIDI as well? If so, doesn't that give you thousands of combinations to choose from via simple midi notes? i.e. this par scene with this moving...

Re: Using a Midi controller to activate buttons
John, You're right - I probably was not clear. I have a midi controller, actually an M-Audio Radium 61 keyboard. It has keys (obviously) and buttoins and sliders and knobs.

Re: Audio Analysis
Dunn, I spent a ton of time figuring out how to do lights triggered by sound. You can do it (although you'd never know it if all you did was read the manual) Check out this thread: http://forums.elationlighting....842/m/6861011826/p/1 Read Elation Pro's post about how to do it in Easy Step.

Re: Pinout for copilot relay cable
Relay cable to connect/add the relay packs. DE9 (db9) com cable m-f. somtimes call 9pin Dplug. for the 8 channel analog controler or the copilot.

Re: Hazer/Fazer....confusion :confused:
A Fazer does both fog and haze. You simply run it at a lower output to get a fazer to haze. All fazers (that I know of) are water based only. Most hazers are oil based. There are some that are water and oil based. The HZ-400 does both oil and water based for example.

Re: DP-DMX20L dimmer ... is it 20A or 15A max?
I don't doubt you in the least. Furman even makes an AC power conditioning product rated at 20 amps, and they know the problem is so prevalent that they even state that they won't honor the warranty if there are "Field modifications" made. My attitude is that I'm protecting 15 amps worth of gear, so I want the unit rated at 15 amps, mainly so I can pop my breaker instead of the house breaker. If anyone has seen a 20-amp Edison outlet, they'll note it's completely backwards compatble. So it's...

Re: Looking for Par64 Replacements, sort of
Well, the Opti RGB would probably be closer to a 300w Par 56 lamp. As for beam sizes of Par 64 lamps, they are roughly as follows: VN: 12 Degree N: 14 Degree M: 24 Degree W: 50 Degree Keep in mind they are rough numbers. Also remember that Medium and Wide lenses spread in an oval, not a circle. Here is a Cheat Chart for Par 64s. Granted, it is for 1000w, but the dimensions are the same for a 500w lamp.

To get the boxes to have circles I must right clik and check circle, then invert one of the circles and now I have scene 1 with blue cicles going in the opposite direction. Should not the easy edit when opened with scene 1 have the circles already in the edit box???? Make sense?

Re: Operator 192 Question
I meant to say "As good as the iPad is, I'm switching to a padKontrol." The problem with the M-50 trigger buttons is that I use the same patch on multiple songs. The lighting for one song might be inappropriate for another song that uses the same patch. Sometimes having only four light settings during a song is limiting (but in all honestly, not very often). I could solve that problem by having separate patches for each song (max 128 songs selectable with my FCB1010 - which sets the patches...
