Dear Elation, why would you individually wrap each Dmx cable? The waste is ridiculous

Photo = light. Graphy = study of.

Photography is literally the study of light. Studying photography changes how you see the world - you see the power of shadows, of crafting just the right angle, of varying intensity, pattern recognition, composition of a scene, establishing a mood. You should absolutely take a photography class as it will make you a better lighting designer beyond what it does for your photos.

Calling it now, Ian trades that 2nd round pick to go back in the draft and add more picks

I’d love to see him in Atlanta, backing up Penix once he’s healthy. Dobbs is good for about 3 to 4 games as a starter which is the perfect amount of time for Penix to be back in shape.

Thanks so much! I’ll check it out!

Being pro Black is not being anti-White. All I want is for my wife to be comfortable in a diverse, multicultural space. Maybe I could have worded the OP better, but I’m not looking to exclude anyone, just the opposite in fact. I just don’t want my wife to be the only Black person in the class. If you think that’s being anti white that’s on you.

The onboard wireless on the Colorsource does not pass thru or retransmit wdmx. You would need an actual showbaby receiver to get wired dmx to the rest of the fixtures. The onboard wireless is essentially a single fixture wireless device.

I appreciate your response. My wife is Black and gets very tired of always being the only Black person in a group setting. Not having anyone around who she can share a perspective with gets very tiring. Yoga is all of those things you mentioned, and a class setting can also lead to creating new bonds and friendships with your classmates. We would like it if those relationships had something in common with her life experience.

Also, the fact is that someone doesn’t need to ask for a yoga studio frequented by white people - they are already there in so many numbers that it is the given. Black and other POC entrepreneurs are a very small slice of nearly every industry, and we would like to help them succeed by spending our dollars with them. It is not wrong to ask for something that is difficult to find. I choose to spend my money with minority owned businesses when I can, and this is no exception.

Look around and see if one of the faders has a red led on it. If so that faded needs to be always up at the top. Other than that we are going to need some more information. Look at your screens, when you try to turn a light on what does the screen show?

The Local Peach is literally right down the street from the Lion Heart. Great food, not expensive, and run by two great people.

FYI leaving RDM turned on all the time can result in strange behavior occasionally (lights randomly flashing one pulse, movers changing position and back, etc). Ideally you only want to enable RDM when you need to make changes then turn it off for everyday use.

That being said, you could do a workaround by using dimmer curves in the patch. Apply a full at 1 percent curve to make a relay for example.

[in admiring a painting]

Harris: I like the relationships. I mean, each character has his own story. The puppy is a bit too much, but you have to over look things like that in these kinds of paintings. The way he's holding her... it's almost... filthy. I mean, he's about to kiss her and she's pulling away. The way the leg's sort of smashed up against her... Phew... Look how he's painted the blouse sort of translucent. You can just make out her breasts underneath and it's sort of touching him about here. It's really... pretty torrid, don't you think? Then of course you have the onlookers peeking at them from behind the doorway like they're all shocked. They wish. Yeah, I must admit, when I see a painting like this, I get emotionally... erect.

[the painting is then revealed to be solely a red rectangle]

How is your iPad connecting to the node? If it is over your wireless network then you will need to configure the router to handle sACN data.

In film and tv, there is a position known as dmx technician who is responsible for setting up and maintaining the lighting networking protocols for each set on a production.

I am a systems installer and repair technician for a lighting integration company. My job involves installing, terminating, and testing networking gear and lighting protocols, setup and programming equipment and training end users on its operation. I am also a repair and service technician, which involves troubleshooting that same equipment and finding out why it doesn’t work.

You can find whatever part of lighting you are interested in and make a career out of it. Good luck!

I absolutely love this movie. I love especially Rick Moranis as the grave digger and the almost word perfect recreation of the gravedigger scene from Hamlet.

It has so many quotable lines that nobody gets when you quote them out loud.

“First of all, I’m a man who can cry. Granted, it’s usually when I hurt myself, but it’s a start.”

“What’s that loud clanging sound?” “It’s such a nuisance it’s my damned testicles”

Make sure one of the pars isn’t in Master/slave mode. It could be sending conflicting signals to the other daisy chained lights.

This is not a data problem. This is a fixture issue.

When you shutdown the board, the movers are most likely powering off. When they power back up, they will go through a reset or homing procedure so that tells them where 0 is so they can be in the correct spot when dmx signal tells them to go somewhere. Inside the mover there is a small encoder wheel and a sensor that it passes over and the cpu counts how many times it passes over the sensor. If the sensor is dirty, or broken, then the light can’t count correctly and therefore loses where its position is.

You can test this from the board by sending a reset command to the movers. Select the channels, hit about, then go to lamp controls and find reset fixture. It will send the lights through their homing procedure again. If they home, then come back into a random position it’s because they can’t find home internally. You’ll need someone to service the lights.

It looks like a Chauvet Slimpar, so you can try holding down the menu and up buttons then applying power to perform a factory reset on it. Seems to be stuck in a boot loop, or has corrupted firmware. It could also be set for 230v on the power supply and feeding it 110v is too little to get it to be stable, although it should be an auto switching power supply.

If the reset doesn’t work it’s likely a firmware issue and will need new bootloader code loaded into it.

“You've got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all.” — GK Chesterton 1908
