  1. Find a couple of options within budget and then get some for a demo. Shoot them out, both between the replacement options and with your existing cantatas. Possibly even invite the money people along to see the difference for themselves.
  2. Imagine Theatre have a couple of (possibly) suitable targets with spring loaded arrows available for hire if they'd work for you. Drop them a line at hires@imaginetheatre.co.uk if you're interested. Glyn
  3. I believe they're related to the Araf and Pergyl!
  4. I sold them to Ian before I left! I've been gone 6 years!
  5. Well I suppose it was electrically safe, after all you can't plug it in, so it can't be dangerous as far as EAW goes...
  6. Many Thanks Boatman, It's too late for me this time, but I've filed it for future reference. Do you know if the micros are still available? Glyn
  7. Just to return to this, we hired a system for last season, partly for budget reasons and partly for supply issues (chip shortage, but mostly money people not signing off until too late). Subsequently we've opted for the Leon Audio / Interspace offering and managed to acquire a second hand system. It was very close between this and the ETC / GDS, but for us, the use of XLR3 won out over the Cat5/ Ethercon cabling. Thank you for all the suggestions etc. Glyn
  8. Does anybody know where I can purchase a 19" rack mountable free running clock and stop watch set up without it costing mega money? Ideally 1U with different colour LED displays, but that's not critical. I can find plenty of timecode displays etc for the broadcast end of the industry, but nothing as simple as a clock! Many Thanks Glyn
  9. Doodsons became part of the Tysers Group of brokers.
  10. I toured through a venue (but can't remember where) that had 4 DMX tie lines from the desk position to a patch rack at the rear of the control room where they fed into a node which in turn fed another node in the dimmer room that split them out again. There was also a direct ethernet link into the network so you could do either / or... Its certainly possible. HTH
  11. If you think the shipping to Edinburgh is expensive, wait until you see what it'd cost to get it to the Isle of Man 🤑
  12. I can't help directly, but you also need to consider how the projector lamp / shutter will be controlled and how you play back the adverts. Who is responsible for showing the adverts, it may be fine if you have an in house op, but what if a tour uses their own operator? Is the spill from a black image acceptable or will you need a proper "black out". What happens if the projector isn't lamped on, or worse doesn't get lamped off until the next day? Will these adverts need audio, in which case you'll need a feed into either a permanently installed PA or into the touring desk, that you then need to ensure is left open for the interval. It may be possible to automate a lot of the process using arduino etc so that pressing a button will lamp on the projector, wait a suitable warm up time then open the shutter, run the VT, close the shutter and finally lamp off. Let us know how you get on.
