  1. Done a DanceClassics Party last saturday, my first real hand on experience with a frog, and i must say, i was amazed how easy it is to create some nifty effects with intelligent lights.

     

    4x Martin MX-4

    4x Martin CX-4

    4x Oby 3

    2x Showtec SP250

     

    On a Fat Frog and

    2x Martin RoboColor Pro 400

    Martin Magnum 2000

    and a bunch of T4 bars with Par 56 on them

    There is a bug in the board, it tries to parse smilie code inside img tags

    My PCDJ setup:

    For this show we had to go really back in time, one of the dimmerpacks suddenly refused to work and we had to go and fetch the old dimmerrack (back to the DMX -> 0/10V converter days) And some other stuff that never had malfunctioned before didn't work anymore :)

  2. Point taken, however we sometimes use up to 30 intelligent lights (colorchangers, scanners, movingheads etc) and we then have to group some fixtures together again.

    But i agree that a leapfrog may be a better investment for our specific situation.

  3. I'm 'afraid' that the frog 2 will be more of a pre-programmed show desk than a live table, meaning users wil have less means of controlling the show directly.

     

    External touchscreens, hmm :) i've got a few 12.1" touchscreens here :) (€ 169,--, run at 800*600 or 1024*768)

     

    Has the implementation in Phantom Frog started?

  4. little typo ;)

     

    just consider this:

    concert with some basic lighting (ie 24 par channels, some floodlights and a few movingheads) so say 32 channels conventional lighting and 4 moving heads, the way the current frog's work you can setup the conventional lighting with the preset faders and use the submasters to control the moving heads (chasers etc) and some basic lighting(say all white etc)

     

    so if you want to dim a single channel you just lower the fader for that channel without having to switch to a different page (where you located the induvidual channels) en set the desired level?

     

    (or maybe i'm just to conventional in my thinking :D, ah wel, since i can't even get them to buy a leapfrog here :(

  5. I'm really interested in what you've done with all the generics faders. Counting just 24 faders in total I can imagine it programs shows excellent, but running it live... I'll just start thinking of a way to explain to the tech of another band he's only got 24 pages, or he has to perform some tricks...

     

    Hehe I'll just shut it and wait for the first demo-run in Holland :) If Rolight is going to do that, I'd surely want to visit, so keep us informed please!!

     

    Yeah, i have to agree, generic faders would be nice, we are currently using a MA 24/12 which ran out of channels a year ago so we tried a fatfrog which is perfect for both disco/live/theatre work.

    But i don't see how one will be able to easily dim a few parcan's without having to swap around submaster 20 pages.

     

    I'll just wait for a demo from rolight then :D

     

    [btw]

    This design looks nice, i just hope the plastic top is less sensitive to fat (from the fingertops) i had that fatfrog covered in fingerprints in 10 seconds :)

     

    Keep up the good work
