Thanks for your prompt reply and useful advice. Our problem is that we don’t have much height above the stage so sight lines are poor to loose the projector without it being too low and thus in view. If we were able to push the throw out to 2m and construct a solid white backdrop out of suitable boarding what would your best recommendation be?

Hi could anyone please advise on the best option for a backdrop/cyclorama projector for our church drama society. The image size would need to be approx 3m x 5m. The likely throw would be approximately 1m. I admit to having no knowledge or experience in this area so any advice/recommendations would be really appreciate. Our budget is likely to be limited by what we can raise through grants but I would expect it to be no more than £2k - £3k. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi can anyone please advise whether a Chauvet 15 Degree lens plate (SPPRGIBALENS15) for a Slim Par Pro would fit a Slim Par Q12 USB?

Let me know when you do!!!!!

Many thanks for that cfmjohn. That’s just what I was looking for. All the best, Andy

Thanks niclights Ive printed off the attached.jpg but am struggling to read the content on the left page. I was hoping to get a .pdf file with the required info Thanks for your help

Hi musht Many thanks for posting this. I can’t seem to be able to open the link that you’ve attached, but am hoping that I’ll be able to download and print the images with sufficient resolution. If so it should give me all the info I need. If not would you be able to send me a pdf by email? Thanks again Andy

That’s the one!! Supplied via Maplin.

Hi Does anyone out there by any chance have a manual for the above? Thanks

Hi Yes it is a C2032. I did replace it a couple of years ago so it’s probably due another by now. Thanks again.

Thanks so much guys for all the invaluable help. I’m now fully up and running with the floppy emulator. Let’s just hope that the old Fat Frog lasts for another few years. I can’t see us affording a replacement for it any time soon ☹️ Best wishes Andy

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a replacement emulator. Took 10 days from china, 10 minutes to install and, hey presto, I've got a working system!! The only thing I can't figure out now is why, when I download a fixture type from the Zero88 on-line library, it appears on the USB 'floppy' as an IFT file, when the fat frog only seems to recognise CFT files. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong??

I do have an old pc base unit in the loft which I opened up the other day. (I don’t have any problem with doing this kind of stuff). The only issue is I don’t still have all the (plug in!!) peripherals such as mouse keyboard etc. The pc has a floppy drive which I disconnected and replaced with the emulator. This however was before I’d been able to format the pen drive and not surprisingly when I fired up the pc I got the same results as when I first tried it in the FF. I’ll have another go now I’ve sorted the pen drive but, as I say, it’s only effectively energising the emulator as I can’t really do anything else via the pc without all the peripherals. Thanks again for all your help.

Should also have mentioned that the data cable is definitely plugged in correctly as it does have the alignment pin on one side.

Thanks again Ian. Unfortunately I’ve tried booting the desk with and without the pen drive plugged in, both to no avail. I’ve also noticed that the green (power?) led comes on at power up but goes off after a few seconds. The red led, which I’m assuming is the drive busy light, doesn’t come on at all.
