Hello all,
Just an introduction... not my first post (fixture requests) but a chance just to say hi... I am Steve, totally new to DMX and lighting. I am getting involved for our musical ensemble.
I don't have a lot of stuff and less experience, but I can say today that I have (finally) successfully set up my Chauvet 4Plays with my Chauvet Obey 40... a much better understanding of fixture addressing, but not happy with how the Obey directs my lights... the sliders are hard to control (too much too fast) so I am looking forward to learning how to get FS to do it for me.
I have a truss loaded with colored pinspots, 2 4Plays and 2 of the ColorSplash 86b wash LEDs... I also have a Chauvet DMX311x Kinta... hoping I can control it from FS as well. I have a dimmer pack coming for my LED spots (ADJ) and a couple non-DMX foggers.
I think lighting is an art form and I'm hoping I can get enough of a handle on it that I can have one of my kids operate our lights from a laptop, which brings me to my one question for today:
Is FS 64bit compatible? I have a new Sony Vaio notebook (Win7 Home Premium 64) that I would LIKE to use (with the Entec USB Pro)...
Glad to be here and looking forward to learning from you folks here.
Regards,
Steve

My Laptop is 64 bit and works perfectly with FS and an Enttec Pro device. So yesit should be just fine.

Not sure where you are from but in the UK Maplin's stock 5pin plugs or Ebay will have 5 to 3 convertors premade for a few pounds.skintner wrote:I just got the Entec but I don't have a 5 pin to 3 pin DMX cable... crap... why does this always happen in the holiday season?

I carry 3 to 5 and 5 to 3 adapters with me always. You never know if you will need to tie into a house lighting system.
