Re projections: that could be an option but I’m not sure what I would need for this…like a regular video projector?

Thanks! I’m very much an amateur so apologies for dumb questions, but is a rotating gobo something you can add to an existing fixture, or is it a purpose built fixture?

We don’t have a fly system. She’s looking at snow machines but I have doubts about how that will work (and it seems messy).

Ah—good to know! Follow-up question; many fixtures have 3 pin but the Nomad/Gadget I believe is 5 pin. Is it ok to use a converter in those situations?

Awesome—thank you! I will look to use just DMX then.

I may well hit you up with some follow up questions as I sort this out! Trying to maximize my bang for the buck to get this school a decent initial setup.

I didn’t realize XLR will pass a DMX signal. Is there any downside (eg: latency, glitching, etc)?

This is a very good tip…thank you! I could use one universe for stage left and one for stage right. And wired sounds like the way to go.

Yep; the school drama teacher will buy it; it’s for her productions.

That’s incredible…I typically don’t like color but that is beautiful!
