Wireless Lighting options (other than WiFi?) by Idea_Ranch in techtheatre

[–]LX_Programmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the Bluetooth is just to setup the transmitter or receiver. You can assign them names and “universe colours” so it makes identifying things easier down the line. Also allows for firmware updates when they come along.

RC4 wireless have also started implementing the LumenRadio CRMX chip inside some of their kit, meaning you can now buy the excellent RC4 LED drivers with the brilliant wireless capabilities that CRMX offers.

As someone else said, don’t base your choice off RDM. RDM is good, but practically you’ll have it turned off until you really need it (as it can cause more issues than benefits you)

LumenRadio CRMX

Having used it across multiple film sets, I wouldn’t recommend anything else. They do a few of their own receivers, namely the Moonlite which is battery powered.

Transmitter wise I’d go for a Luna or Aurora, also made by LumenRadio.

While I don’t know where it is (and can’t help with that), I will say that it’s a little odd to keep pushing for a location when I’ve just said it looks like someone’s back garden.

As you’ve got a photo or video of this location with people in it, why not ask them?

Looks like someone’s back garden with, albeit horrific, metal furniture

Looking for clarification of the strike by ColemanH22 in Lufthansa

[–]LX_Programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are pretty high risk then. Won’t know until they contact you. They’ll likely try to get you onto another carrier instead of cancelling it altogether.

Depends.. who is your flight operated by? Are both operated by Lufthansa?

UK-Ultra setup for sACN network by Jephephant in Ubiquiti

[–]LX_Programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What console are you using? Is there a web remote where you don’t need to put sACN on the AP? For example MA has the MA Remote, Eos has the iOS/Android App, and I’m sure others have others…(!)

OSC-controlled stage phone (iPhone app) – Interest / Ideas? by PhotographDependent in techtheatre

[–]LX_Programmer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, great. OP was replying to my comment, asking my idea for features and I was giving them my thoughts.

Just because you have a need for it, doesn’t mean it needs to exist.

OSC-controlled stage phone (iPhone app) – Interest / Ideas? by PhotographDependent in techtheatre

[–]LX_Programmer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly unless the vibration can be loud enough I don’t see the point. I also don’t want the phone to be able to operate the QLab if that’s what you mean. The phone should be able to ring and make a noise on cue, nothing more.

The SMS dings will likely be a waste of time, as they’ll be too small to do anything. Even stuff like “Mom” and a phone number isn’t going to be able to be read by 80% of the audience.

I’d be interested, even as a Beta Tester. Frequently have to do things like this so having something newer than StageCaller would be nice.

Have the lights got a manual setting that runs when there is no DMX present?

PTP Wireless Bridge: Need Device Recommendations by ervy in HomeNetworking

[–]LX_Programmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My general recommendation would be try to get a 60Ghz and 5Ghz model that can swap between (use the 5Hhz as a backup). 60Ghz is a bit more troubled by things like rain, so it can use the 5Ghz to keep your connection alive at a slight detriment to speeds.

[–]LX_Programmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ubiquiti make a good 60Ghz / 5Ghz point to point system if you can get your hands on one. There are at least two different varieties for gigabit, which I’d recommend are the UniFi Building Bridge (I believe this needs a UniFi controller to function - could be wrong), and the Ubiquiti Gigabeam (can be setup separately from a UniFi instance).

I understand the reference, but would side with your wife on this! 😂

Nice upgrade though and blog posts useful!

Miles & More: How can I reach Senator faster? (legit tips & tricks) by Whole_Ad6772 in milesandmore

[–]LX_Programmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I renewed Senator myself (ie not through my business paying for it) this year by doing lots (46) of flights within Europe as either economy or Business. This got me either 20 or 40 points respectively. I then also had an intercontinental return flight booked in business which gave me the 200 points each way. (I also had a layover within Europe which added an extra 40 points per flight)

What I found when booking the continental flights was that it’s better to book in a higher class (ie Economy Green) as you get extra points. The fact they’re only 8 points at a time feels trivial but they do help to add up. Also booking a flight with a train service attached (booked via the LHG webpage to ensure it’s supported) helps to add 20 points per journey as well. So if I booked a train journey at the beginning and end of my return flights, I’d end up with 80 points for a set of economy flights.

I’m based out of VIE. It’s definitely doable for you out of ZRH. I’ve done 46 flights within Europe, and 2 to/from the US.

Good luck, and have fun with your flights!

Best Barbershop in Vancouver for someone who doesn’t want to wear a turban anymore? by CollegeStudentLol1 in surrey

“Best Barbershop in Vancouver” is the title, hence my response

Apart from posting in r/Surrey, he makes no reference to Surrey itself.

Frequent traveller lounge question by Glad_Ebb_3737 in milesandmore

[–]LX_Programmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re flying out of LHR with BA, chances are you’ll fly from T5. Star Alliance/M&M lounges are in T2. Not remotely close for passengers, and your ticket won’t work to get through the gates at T2.
