  1. Hi, I have a christie m series projector and an ir remote (that works with the projector) The remote has a 3.5mm jack socket and the projector has an xlr socket labeled remote. I want to join them together via a cable. Does anyone know A) the wiring for the jack to xlr cable (I've tried sleave to pin 1 and tip and ring to 2 and 3 both ways round) B) if I have to turn this feature on in a menu on the projector C) any other reason it's not working The manual doesn't seem to help other than saying to use the supplied cable (long lost)
  2. You used to be able to get reflectors for par 36 cans to take a1/244 500w 240v lamps or similar . Not sure if theyre still available
  3. This works quite well https://www.lemark.co.uk/arts-crafts/j-lar-ultra-clear-tape/
  4. The air pump looks about right, apart from the fact it should be attached to the case The element looks wrong from memory, im sure it should be a straight long thing, the replacement comes in a cardbourd tube I can photo mine on thursday if that helps
  5. why, are the source 4 too bright ?
  6. I have 4 claypaky miniscan 150 that are all broken and missing parts does anyone want to save them from the skip ? free to collect from Guildford
  7. Sounds good. You say... We've gone back to basics and sorted out some of the problems that have plauged other systems What problems have you sorted?
  8. What I found quite inapropriate was the way every news report finished with a fan who had traveled a long way showing their ticket and saying how disapointed they were. Not blaming the fans, but the journalists who felt missing a concert was more important ( better news) than injuries and deaths
  9. Large scafold towers either side of stage to suport the roof is a design thats been around for years, just not so common in this country these days. In theory its a good concept especially if the towers have a large floor area. Its a bit like builders choosing a prefabricated aluminium scaf tower or erecting steel scafold on site. The steel scafold can be built stronger and to fit better, but requires lots more competance on site to erect. What suprised me from what I can see in the pictures is that the roof does not appear to sit on top of the towers but rather apears to sit between them. To me this would seam to rely on whatever is clamping them together rather than gravity
  10. or a very long cable :) you got a disk drive? I'm jealous. I've just got a blanking plate. I have no idea why when spending 12k on a desk you wouldnt spend the extra to save your show :(
  11. well a quick look through my rolacue 60 instruction manual suggests its for linking consoles in master/slave mode perhaps we should get together and attempt rolacue "desk link mode" the master desk will display "boss" and the slave desk will display "serf" my rolacue was recently fitted with DMX output cards :) and the horrible power XLR connector finally retired in favour of a powercon
  12. personnaly I would avoid pinspots and profiles as I feel the effect looks very yellow and gives the impresion that you havnt dusted the ball lately , the abilaty to adjust the focus is also important, fillament lamps can leave you with lots of filament effects floating round the room , I would always aim for something giving a much whiter light such as a discharge lamp, goldenscans, miniscans, scans without the mirror or pro 400s are all excellent but expensive the abstract colour flood I suggested earlier is a cheap version (£100ish)of a pro 400 and gives a nice white (or coloured) even spot and can be run off a stand alone controller I would use a minimum of 2 if the audience only see one side of the ball or 4 if they see all round
  13. an abstract colour flood with the optional spot lense
