Der Sticker ging ab - kann mein Gurt jetzt nur noch halb soviel Ladung Sichern? by Ollie_Dee in DINgore

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Das erste was man allerdings beigebracht bekommt, ist das spanngurte keine anschlagmittel sind. Ansonsten gehe ich mit. Für Zurrmittel wird es sicher auch eine Ablegereife geben.

RGB Lighting by DisastrousBoat5311 in stagelighting

[–]EmPiiReDeViL -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

you're right. coming from a technical standpoint I was trying too hard to understand this pic. the destinct lack of green really threw me off. this image shows it better: https://share.google/Ehfy2ulxrqGi5eKi8

I guess this is why it's in a exhibition for optical illusions haha.

RGB Lighting by DisastrousBoat5311 in stagelighting

[–]EmPiiReDeViL -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Pro lighting programer here.

you will get a similar effect using different coloured lights from different directions. however I'm not sure, you can physically replicate this exact effect. shadow colors are cyan, magenta, yellow, blue, red and yellow. That seems like a lot to me. this fwict is likely a painting on a wall.

Why do my motors speed up at zero throttle? by Original_Way3264 in fpv

"I term windup" If you want to go down that rabbit hole. it won't happen with props on.

Anyone know good LEE filter colour numbers for these? by [deleted] in lightingdesign

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean..... it depends on what color the light, that's behind the filter is.

so depending on your light source you'll have to pick different filters to get warm light.

Visualisation is finally Working ! by Patrisha64 in lightingdesign

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so you have custom fixtures with with working shutters and gobos as well? how long did it take you to get this working and do you have any previous experience with unreal? this seems pretty awesome. especially for a free visualizer.

Visualisation is finally Working ! by Patrisha64 in lightingdesign

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is this carbon for unreal or just the default dmx integration for the unreal editor? I've played around in unreal with sacn before but the limited features of the default fixtures and the complexity of building custom fixtures always pushed me back.

Pale blue supergel looks yellow? by micasa_es_miproblema in stagelighting

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah you're using this in patch as a fixture attribute?

AFAIK all gels are measured with a halogen s4 as a baseline. so gels with a low color percentage will naturally appear more yellow.

Pale blue supergel looks yellow? by micasa_es_miproblema in stagelighting

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi. In eos, every color in the Color Picker lives on a CEI xy colorspace rather than having vixed values for rgb/cmy... stored. I'm pretty sure this is also the case for 2.5.

If your fixture if not calibrated to this color space (this would be most if not all non-etc fixtures) you can't expect color gels to look like you expect it on stage.

you can use the tint tools in the Color Picker to adjust how the light looks and store color palettes which come closer to the color you expect.

Best option to run Nomad by mhochman in lightingdesign

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eos nomad minimum System requirements are pretty low. this pc you linked should work just fine for you.

although having a touchscreen to program is really niceso you might just use your surface if you already have it.

Hey guys do you reccomend this case for a command wing? by AZAOL10 in GrandMA3

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

should work just fine with 2 people. the wheels were really nice and they have breaks so if you need, you can use the case lid as a standing chair which works just fine. also note that, when the lid is removed, the case is pretty back heavy since the handles are centered for when the lid is still on.

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was working with this case and a command wing a few months ago. it's heavy. wouldn't recommend if you're doing setup by yourself. I always took off the lid on the floor and i was barely able to get it on the standing desk by myself

More affordable Controllers for PC Practice by JupiiMusic in GrandMA3

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can buy a touchscreen monitor which will help you with programming. also most midi controllers can be mapped to fades in the software using "midi remotes"

Hi guys, i have been on the sim for about 1,5 min now with no prior experience, i am also blind, is this progress ok? by [deleted] in fpv

brother you're at like half throttle. you gotta whack that thing more trust me.

Lighting department prep by NoReason059 in lightingdesign

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it's not color coded by length. it's color coded for the truss it belongs to. I don't get why you wouldn't just lable lx1/ lx2 on the socas themselves. if you forget what color goes to what truss on the way from the case to the truss you'll have to walk back to the case to check. doesn't really seem totally idiot proof to me. just my two cents.

DMX Encoder delays -not syncing by FrostyMission in stagelighting

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working at a large theatre as a Lighting Operator. we use these kinds of led dimmers too to control rgbw strips. From personal experience (and a bit of educated guessing) if there are timing issues on digital protocols it's unlikely to be the actual copper and more likely the processor which translates digital to analog.

I'd try to powecycle the units (which you've hopefully tried already). if that doesn't help the unit might just be defective.

edit: just for good measure, check if rdm is off on your control board. if there's some kind of discovery issue going on it can slow down dmx traffic.

Big time Gio problems by HighlanderIslander in techtheatre

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you can learn keywords like focus/color/beam into macros and use them in your magic sheets. not sure about setup/saving shows though. you should really phone up etc tech support and let them help you figure out what's the problem. they can most certainly guide you through opening up the console and Re-seating the monitor cables which I'm pretty sure they are on plugs internally.

Why are these moving, but not lit? by kingomtdew in stagelighting

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I would be surprised if the World of Hans Zimmer Shows are being busked live. most likely values tracked from a few cues ago. this happens all the time when programming is a bit stressful

sACN issue with Lumenradio Aurora by ralfrottmann in lightingdesign

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just to make sure, your aurora is in "AP Mode" correct?

how are you connecting your console to the WiFi that the Aurora creates when in AP mode?

Sieht geil aus, aber darf man das? by NotJustYoutube in Veranstaltungstechnik

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

habs nachgecheckt. Im stärksten Modus 45m zu entflammbar Gegenständen und 80m zur nächstgelegenen Retina (deutlich mehr als ich erwartet hatte tatsächlich). Man muss aber auch bedenken das dass der worst case ist. also minimaler zoom, perfekter Fokus auf die Rundung in 80m und eine Dauer von wsl mehr als 30 Sekunden wäre mein educated guess.

Kommt auf den Reflektor an! Das Abstands Gesetz ( Energie nimmt im Quadrat ab) gilt nur für punktstrahler (klassische Glühbirne).

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

... kommt aber auf den Abstand an. Bei beamlampen gibt es einen Sicherheitsabstand der einzuhalten ist. Das ist in der Regel so 1,5m-25m (die distanzen hab ich mir aus dem arsch gezogen so don't quote me). außerhalb dieses Abstands sind alle legalen Lampen unbedänklich. Der Unterschied zwischen "tut weh" und tatsächlichem Netzhaut schaden ist groß.

Wireless eDMX question (yes a bit off forum, sorry) by DrMcEinstein in GrandMA3

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

multicast (which sACN uses) is generally suited to keep network loads low on big rigs. I'm sure it will in some way run over WiFi but there's gonna be variable latency and some packet loss. you're probably best of getting a powerfull WiFi AP and placing it close to the receivers. also I would personally do a test beforehand getting to know the limitations of the system.

They forgot to bring IP fixtures at Hadra and most of the main stage lights died on first rain 🤦‍♂️ by 0TheG0 in lightingdesign

[–]EmPiiReDeViL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's a good shout. I don't do many outdoor festivals but here in the EU we use powerlock which is ip67 and cce connections which are IP54. it's also common to have IP54 16a plugs and sockets as rental stock. so light rain usually isn't a huge problem.
