  1. Composite to VGA convertor as mentioned. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Composite-Video-Converter-Mini-AV2VGA-Box-AV-RCA-CVBS-To-VGA-HDTV-Adapter-USB/143208293043 pair of these or similar, dinnae fork about with RG59 or shotgun cables https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Pair-BNC-CCTV-RJ45-UTP-CAT5-Balun-Audio-Video-Power-over-Transceiver-Cable-UK/372546991741? Low / star light cams are pretty good now, varifocal lens will cover you up past 12mm.
  2. Earthquake! in Sensurround :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensurround
  3. Keep the cordless drill and rivet gun handy... True1 getting phased out to be replaced by True1 TOP "With the introduction of powerCON TRUE1 TOP, the existing TRUE1 cable connectors and chassis connectors will be discontinued." https://www.neutrik.com/en/news/the-brand-new-top-product-range Is backwards compatible with True1, but harder to misplug , better IP protection and changes to latch design.
  4. https://www.glassonelectronics.co.uk/ were possibly first with controllable festoon, think White Light used to handle them. TMB have a couple of variants.
  5. Yep - but a hefty price tag on those.... :( More as search term than supplier recommendation ;-) few moving ones in this list http://www.cosplaytutorial.com/list/wings.php
  6. Cosplay articulated wings are a thing like http://www.thecrookedfeather.com/
  7. PCB making including the manufacture of the glass fibre, resin and mining and processing of copper, for quite a lot of it to be removed with highly toxic etchants. LED emitter manufacture including sourcing materials and manufacture of precursors and processing of wafer before encapsulation with more resins. Its a total energy cost looking at, not bill of materials ;-)
  8. Really... glass fibre/resin PCB with etched copper tracks, alloy solder, driver semiconductors made from rare earth minerals, some very very toxic,capacitors made from other materials, never mind the manufacture of the LED itself, hint , few furnace operations involved, ,acrylic lenses and plastic housing. Bit like sausages , like the result , wouldn`t want to see how they are made. Then end of life recycling... http://www.it-green.co.uk/images/burning_e-waste.jpg At least don`t have trace of mercury that landfills full of lighting`s last revolution, compact fluorescents, had in them. It`s an economic argument to keep the lighting industry fed on it`s constant diet of replenishment, like electric cars requires creating a complete disconnection between total energy cost including manufacture and disposal and energy use in service lifetime.
  9. Not long into a new year...Issue Date: 20.12.2017 but it`s not linked or searchable from Neutriks front page. Your thinking of the original Powercon which don`t like being hotplugged, hence some places have spent good money replacing them with True 1 Can`t say it instills confidence in Neutrik brand, how many goes are they going to have at a mains connector. Bit worse than that afraid A cable connector inserted the wrong way could, in some circumstances, lead to contact between live wires and the grounding contact in the plug socket.
  10. Just when you`d replaced all the last ones... http://www.neutrik.us/zoolu-website/media/download/18363/SAFETY+NOTICE+-+powerCON+TRUE1+
  11. Looking for someat else on the bay , this popped up in suggested Battle Rope , apparently common in 38 and 50 mm diameter http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battle-Rope-Training-Battling-Sport-Exercise-Fitness-Gym-BOOTCAMP-Choice-Anchor-/222281267496
  12. Be kind of suprised if the PSU kicks out a regulated 31V ;-) Sounds like something intended to be 24V under light load. Some drivers are easy to split control and load supplys, usually FET on output will be rrated for much higher than 31V.
  13. How loud can an uanmplified orchestra hit, with kettle drums, or original thunder roll effects ? Flying heavy sets goes back a lot more than 100 years. Main problem is still theatre owners, then and now, have deep pockets and short arms...
  14. He claimed that he only sold to Nimax to raise £10M to refurbish his other theatres. He made a huge deal about theatreland being protected by "sharing the load". He sold what he now calls a demolition site as a functioning theatre. Not quite he said that in 2000 as said in the itv peice Times is behind a paywall, but a search for `lloyd webber apollo` on website brings back no results out of 72 hits for the year 2000. Guess is depends if your buying or selling Andrew.... Grauniad of 2005 mentions the putting up for sale of the 4 theatres, he had bought them 5 years earlier from Stoll Moss. http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/jan/18/arts.artsnews Lot of rain fell very fast just before the incident, accompanied by wind that can drive rain up hill and round normally waterproof parts.
  15. http://www.itv.com/news/story/2013-12-19/rescue-underway-after-part-of-balcony-collapses-in-apollo-theatre-london/
  16. Universal Guest Luminaire Interface , UGLI...
  17. Inspirational, quality design and build :-) Sure you know but for others, LED drivers come in 2 flavours, constant voltage, supply voltage = LED voltage, used for things like LED tape then constant current, supply voltage > LED voltage usually used for big LEDs, where the voltage is settled to maintain a current through the LED(s). The 700mA used by the LEDEngin device is common for 3W LEDs.
  18. Triacs are prone to it, its why Dimension dimmers have the triacs on clamp connectors, large as will pysically fit triac, 800V devices if you can fit them in in. Could try FF rated fuses but they cost almost as much as the triac. SCRs are historically less prone, something to do with DV/DT , but tend to need much bigger heatsinks and cost a lot more.
