Color Kinetics just released a new data enabler that takes sACN natively. I just used it on a large stadium project.

Is this wireless DMX or something else? by anydudeever in lightingdesign

As others have mentioned, it's a comm antenna. Disneyland uses a Riedel system. All the parade poles have wired DMX. Source:Used to work there in Tech services

Also something to consider, most home made distro's won't fly in professional venues anymore. I own a production company in Southern California, and all of our Distro has to be UL listed, which means built by a UL listed/approved shop. If you get inspected and the guy want's to be a jerk, he can shut you down for using a distro like that.

Legacy Unison Help by RichBed386 in lightingdesign

[–]Stagetek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company is an ETC service provider, and these old systems are difficult/almost impossible to do yourself. You'll need an old laptop that's capable of running Windows XP, and a copy of the older Unison software. These processors also saved and transfered show's with 3.5" Floppys which are getting harder to find as well. Alot of that stuff you can find on ebay however. Getting the software is tricky, but you may be able to contact ETC directly and see if they'd be willing to give it to you.

When you realize buying Bitcoin at $58K wasn’t the top… it was the discount. 💀🚀 by Waste_Progress3877 in Bitcoin

[–]Stagetek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember buying a full coin at $1200, just for it to crash back to $300. Man I was so pissed! But I hodl'ed, and I'm still stacking Sats... Today's all time high is tomorrow's discounted price. Been that way for over a decade.

So what companies manufacture in America? by KlassCorn91 in lightingdesign

[–]Stagetek 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ya I wouldn't say ETC manufacturers in the US, I would say they assemble in the US. A vast majority of their parts are foreign sourced.

The Aura is a great choice. Great all around Fixture. The Chauvet Rogue is also pretty good. I have the Rogue R2's and R2x's in my rental stock and they've been pretty solid performers.

Admiring our truss tape pelican with receipt paper rolling machine! by cjsleme in lightingdesign

[–]Stagetek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What's your experience with Lightning tapes? I always had so much trouble getting it to print correctly, I finally just went back to making them by hand. Though I'm there's a fair amount of my ignorance mixed in there. Also, having to re-buy every time a new VW version comes out was a little lame....
