  10. PDA?

    in Frog Range MK1

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I am about to purchase HP iPAQ Pocket PC h4100 to give you its proper name! I was wondering will i be able to control the fat frog, or phantom frog via the PDA , using some type of DMX adaptor?

     

    Any ideas would be appreciated,

  12. Addition Chase - Confusing or What?!?!

    in Frog Range MK1

    Posted

    Heya,

     

    bit confused

    desk went in fine and everything works super

    but...

    when setting a chase, (this worked fine the first time, how it should)

    i.e.. fader 1 up

    programme step

    fader 1 down

    fader 2 up

    programme step

    and so on

     

    so when playing back it would go

     

    step 1 - channel 1

    step 2 - channel 2

    etc etc

     

    however later on in the night , I was programming on the desk and when doing a chase this happened:

     

    fader 1 up

    programme step 1

    FADER DOWN on preset

    however lantern stay lit

    Main LCD says that I am now on step 2 (2*)

    I try moving the preset and grandmaster faders to 0 - no affect

    move the playback x fader down and the light goes off

    move playback x back up and the light on fader 1/ channel 1 comes back on

    so I now programme step two , thinking it is just showing me what was my last step...

    however when I play back the chase all I get is an addition chase,

    for example:

    step 1 - channel 1

    step 2 - channel 1 and 2

    step 3 - channel 1 and 2 and 3

     

    however at each step only the last channel number on each step (as above) as had its fader up.

     

    I'm confused!?!

     

    any ideas what's wrong

  13. Movers on Submasters

    in Frog Range MK1

    Posted

    Hey all,

    Recently got those NJD lights to work with the Fat Frog and they work super!

    ...

    However when putting a chase with a mover onto the submasters , when I raise the fader it starts but when i lower it the chase keeps the last move ie. green on a tree.... or something like that! Sp and I came up with the idea of having one of the submasters set to lamp off for the lantern, so when you want the chase to stop all you have to do is bring that fader up, that works fine, but is there a easier way?

     

    To turn the lamp on and to go to blackout you use beamshape instead of brightness because you cant dim it!

  15. LED Flashing

    in Frog Range MK1

    Posted

    This sounds really silly... but... just wondering when you flash either a flash button on the presets or on the submasters is the led in the flash button meant to light up. also when you take one of the faders on the presets up is the led light meant to come on and also when you are using playback x to playback the memories are the corresponding led's meant to light up on the flash buttons when the channels are being used?

     

    thanks very much

  16. NJD MICROBEAMS!

    Thanks Stage Frog!

    One of the problems i think i may get is that the output from the NJD Microbeam is a 3 pin XLR (normal sound cable)

    I went to stage electrics in newcastle yeasterday to have a go on the desk and for the life of me cant remember on the back of the desk if it is 3 pin input or 5. what would i do if it is 3 pin. just must be able to do it beacause if you couldnt it wouldnt in the fixture libary!

    Oh yea, lol here is another question. The back of the lantern is a series of switches, if i get the manual will i be able to use these to chance the address or is it just pot luck!

    Thanks for the help once again
