Well, any multicast IP, which I think is 224/4, right?Whatever's suitable for an implementer, who wants to be able to -- my hobby horse -- have everyone on a production's script displays change pages as the show proceeds.

Wow.You did not link your main website, but I will:https://www.da-share.com/

Well, that sounds like it could be fun, particularly in the context of "keeping everyone on the same page of the script" while mounting a play...How hard would it be to make it listen to a multicast address?

A bit of useful pedagogy, based on Jojo's posting: even if you think the OP can't actually execute all of what The Right Way is to diagnose a problem, it's probably worth everyone's investment of time to enumerate what that is anyway -- they know which parts they can do, and which parts they...

Similar lamps are probably still in manufacture for aircraft landing lights, which you might look into; voltage might be a problem, though--for a 4 lamp display fixture--both that and size are likely less important...

So there are, I see from looking at the photos again.I was confused because Sweetwater's description says, in pertinent part:"USB 3.0 Audio Interface, 6-in/4-out, 32-bit/192kHz with 4 XLR/TRS Combo Inputs, 2 Line Inputs..."Clearly, those "2 Line Inputs" are meant to be 5 and 6, and they...

Perhaps.But I am allergic to complexity where it need not be, and my instinct tells me that that's the case for 80% of their target market.I'll check out the presentation, though, since I've got most of the next 3 weeks off after 8 straight. Tnx.

I think it was just peeling the top black, not the whole paint sandwich.

Seems to me the gooseneck is the kicker here: the market for this system is boardrooms and the like.

That UR44 looks good, except that not all 4 inputs are line-level...

Honestly, it wasn't the reliability of the Rolands.It was that they were insufficiently orthogonal to suit me: they knew what I would want to do, they provided easy ways to do that, and I couldn't do *anything else*. What You See Is ALL You Get.For all the lack of reliability of BMD stuff...

Thank you, though the Firestudio we've used for 8 years hasn't been at all bad.Do you have any opinion on the Tascam US-4x4HR? I'm really looking for 4x4 with balanced line-level connections for all 8 ports, and that's apparently a little hard to come by; the Tascam hasn't got XLR outs, but I...

13 lavs. Piker. :)In general, though, follow spot is a psychomotor skill; you just gotta do it, a lot. Warn your director and LD, and then, during warmups, q2q, and whereever else they'll let you, just follow people. The more you do it, the easier walkon-pickups will be. And...

We have 6 SLBAR-660's top and bottom on our 22x42 cyc; neither makes it all the way to the center of the curtain, since we have to have them so close to it -- we have a pretty shallow stage. They're 18 pixel in pairs, though we only just went from addressing them as one long fixture to six...

Well, 7/16-20 is a fairly common bolt-screw designator, though whether that would default to UNC (like a 1/4-20) or UNF (like a 5/8-27 mic stand thread) I don't know off hand, and it should probably say -- though in most cases a given size is only *available* in one thread pitch, so it may not...
