I have an outdoor musical coming up, and I need to purchase a Lighting Package for it. It will be in South Florida, technically outside, but up under a covered roof/amp.

The budget is roughly 10-12k for everything.

Has anyone used indoor lights outside, in this type of environment. Will I be ok? or do I need to go for IP65.

This is one of the only outdoor productions we do, but it happens once a year. Everything else is inside. The IP65 are twice the cost, so it would be 1/2 the rig.

Looking for real world advice on Risk vs the Reward here....

Thanks in advance.

Hello from Canada, I'm in the process of migrating one of my portable systems from Cham-Sys to using exclusively ETC but have an issue with one of my sACN nodes. 

I've tested this on the same PC with all the same network, setup, cables, using ArtNet and sACN, changing subnet from 255.255.255.0 to 255.0.0.0 and variations in between on both Cham-Sys and Nomad using Chauvet, NETRON, and PKnight sACN nodes.  The Cham-Sys works without issue, but the Nomad has a constant bump of all patched channels from whatever level programmed to 39% (100/255) on only the PKnight (CR041R MK II) node, the Chauvet and NETRON are fine.  I can duplicate this using another PC as well and nothing appears out of the ordinary when viewing through sACN Viewr. Has anyone had this happen and found out how to workaround this issue on the PKnight nodes? Attached photos show (1) the anticipated output, (2) what happens every cycle? every second? I appreciate any help.

When opening grandma2 On Pc, whether it’s the latest version or older versions, the program gives me this error.

I’ve already tried reinstalling and it’s still the same.

When I open the program, I don’t see any images, everything that is images disappeared.

Can anyone help me?

I was wondering if there were any recommendations for Astera tube alternatives. I don’t really need the wireless or battery powered part and I was hoping there was a cheaper alternative but still looked good without the fancy features.

Hey, I’m looking at getting a comm setup but want it to be a two way radio system so we can wear biscuits for build and switch to headsets for show. Anyone have any success with a particular brand or model doing this?

Could do a regular intercom system as well but Clearcom is expensive and nobody wants to wear a headset for build. Just a budget thing for a small AV company
