strand riggers remote

[Lighting_tech]

Hello Blue roomers,

 

I am very soon going to be using the Strand Riggers Remote in a theatre and would love to have some indication on actually how to use them, I'm not strand literate and would just like a few tips on how to bring up a channel, how to bring up a group, next group ect..

 

thanks Folks.

The remote is the same syntax as the console : you don't say if it's the 300/500 series or the newer palette range, but read the manual or look for basic how to guides online.

its the 500 series, does the 300 series differ hugely? Ill check, Ive had a look online and ill look again but im struggling atm! thanks!

 

And thanks for moving the post not quite sure how it eneded up where it did!

300s and 500s run the same software and as far as I know the remotes are/were interchangeable.

grp # ON

grp # REC

# @ #

or

# @## (depending on what mode the desk is in!)

CUE # REC

CUE # GO

 

NEXT REM dim (brings up the next channel on it's own)

 

 

It's nice and easy to work out- it's beautifully logical! I miss the Strand 500 days :(

Don't forget that when you move to using groups, you need to know what's in them! all riggers controls give you the usual facility to bring channels up - but as you don't have the big screens, using groups can sometimes lead to seeing things happen you didn't quite expect. In general, just treat the riggers control as a remote of the most useful buttons. On the 300 and 500, it's doubtful the small difference between them will be even noticed by a beginner.

Excellent thanks everyone.

 

I'll be getting in touch with White Light soon to for a course in the 500 series as its not a desk I am familiar with. That will help more for future shows.

 

Thanks again,
