  1. There's some information about the protocol in the Masterpiece manual:
  2. It would be amazing if it comes to light!
  3. Total long shot, but asking just in case… Does anyone have a copy of the software that Pulsar Lighting distributed for their BBC Micro based lighting package back in the day? (It worked with the Pulsar Intelligent Interface plus a small three-fader unit.) There's a tiny bit about the software here: https://www.theatrecrafts.com/archive/cue/cue_38_22.pdf If anyone has any 5.25" disks kicking about in a loft somewhere, maybe there's a chance! Amy
  4. I wonder why I got such poor performance from my UV cannons? They were second hand and the lamps are of unknown provenance -- do the lamps get worse as they age?
  5. Hall is 16 x 10 metres, and I'm considering getting four of these. I also considered some Showtec UV LED Bar 120cm, but the seller told me their beam angle is rather small so lighting a hall might not be successful. Regarding the old school 400W UV cannons, I actually own two of them. One issue is they're big, and I don't have much car/van space. But the other issue is, at the times I've tried to use them, I was really not impressed with their output. It may have been to do with the light level in the hall, or the angle, or whatever, but last time I tried them they didn't seem to be contributing much. I mainly wanted some UV reactive tape on the floor to glow, and that just didn't happen.
  6. I'm not sure those mounting holes exist on the model I'll be using (Gigbar Move Plus ILS). Certainly the manual makes no mention of it 😞 I've ordered the ali tube to try the fake tripod mount method. But next time I have my hands on the physical item I'll have another look for bolt holes.
  7. https://clubtek.co.uk/equinox-uv-power-flood-light-p-4983.html These are available from various places for about £80-£90. I'm looking for cheap UV to drench a village hall for a techno dance event — so I want wide beam angle, and I want cheap. But these are suspiciously cheap! Anyone used them? Or any other recommendations? Also, how many d'you think I need for a 16x10m hall? (Don't need to get right into the corners.)
  8. (To be clear, I'd also be ok mounting the gigbar below or to the side of the truss, whichever is easier!)
  9. Hi! I'm trying to attach a Chauvet Gigbar on top of horizontal truss. The gigbar has a slot for a 35mm speaker pole. That is its only mounting point (apart from a hook for a safety chain). Ideally I want one of these, but with a 35mm spigot rather than a 28mm spigot. I would then attach this to the top pole of my triangular truss, mounting the gigbar above the truss. (Would need sufficient clearance of course.) Anyone got any suggestions?
  10. I'll need to get it out again to check the menus (have packed away that event now). I'm pretty sure it did work ok, but I only tried changing the DMX address since the issue happened. DMX transceiver sounds likely. Do you know if it's fairly easy to access the pcb to get to it? I've opened the movers recently to change gobo and lenses, but not dug far enough into them to see a pcb! Thanks for the troubleshooting guidance, I'll do that when I next have some time 🙂
  11. Doubt it’s that, it was working ok one day then not the next.
  12. It’s not a termination issue. (Got a source4 with internal terminator fwiw). This isn’t occasional flickering, this is loads of bad data causing strobe channels etc to fire.
  13. Got a Mac 250 that has started misbehaving. Was fine yesterday but this morning, every time this Mac 250 was on the chain, the other fixtures were flickering and flashing. I’m guessing the Mac is spurting out bad DMX. Is this a common or known fault? Is there a fix?
  14. I'm getting ready to go back to the theatre. Yey! I've got an old dilapidated comms system that's been struggling for a bit. I need to test each part of it to find out what is fully working, what has issues, and what is dead. Any suggestions on how to do this? I could just plug stuff in and find a friend who I can talk to, but I'd rather be more systematic. Test the PSU on its own, then test each belt pack, then test each headset. If there's a way I could inject an audio signal from (e.g.) a computer into the line, I could use that to test combinations of belt pack/headset for receiving. Any bright ideas? Amy
