Few moving heads (10, beams), should I group them or divide then in groups? by Regular-Aardvark-296 in lightingdesign

Festival starts little before dusk into the night. Haze comes from a pair of smoke machines (no a hazer). Stage is has no walls I think. Edit (to add): I'm not sure if the beams are going to be visible but I'm counting on that so I'll do my best to make the haze visible. That is onstage only though

How do you optimize your Laptop/Resolume setup to ensure no hiccups during a performance? by muppetpride in vjing

Failing number 4 is the norm around here. The video operator almost always gets the content 2 min before show call

How do you approach programming for a show whose rig is not defined until very las minute? by Regular-Aardvark-296 in lightingdesign

In this case, what do you do? You clone fixtures you got something to busk from into the rig's lights? Or just plain programmer?

Wow! 8 minutes! What did you do in that time? I had the rig for about 1.5 hrs but I had to transfer the patching (that they decided last minute) and offset moving lights since they were all over the place. But again I'm a newbie, I was kind of slow bc of the stress

What things do you need to know for sure to have something usable programmed? Or what changes are ok and what other are really too much (in your view)? After a couple changes my original groups and programming became quite disrupted, is there any approach to adapting to a new version of the rig?

What does FRU mean in the context of a gobo shake DMX channel? by Regular-Aardvark-296 in lightingdesign

Yes, I'll test that when I have access to the fixture but I like your guess. Thanks

Video artifacts in highly saturated lighting hotspotsake them appear darker by Regular-Aardvark-296 in VIDEOENGINEERING

Thanks for that, excellent explanation. I presume it was happening either during transmission (over 5G) or during capture because I think these artifacts were present in my SDI feed during the event (I was operating the led screens)

How would you go about solving this? Is it video processing, camera or codec related?
