[Want to Win a Frog 2 ???]

Training is ok, frog or frog2 doesn't matter, BUT we want to win a FROG 2

[Want to Win a Frog 2 ???]

The training at LMP was for frog-Range, not Frog 2, so nevermind

[HOWTO run Phantom frog under linux]

Hi,

 

just managed to run phantom frog under linux. I use debian sarge with the following wine packages installed:

 

ii wine 0.0.20050524-1 Windows Emulator (Binary Emulator)

ii wine-utils 0.0.20050524-1 Windows Emulator (Utilities)

ii winesetuptk 0.7-1.1 Windows Emulator (Configuration and Setup Tool

 

 

To get the phantom running, just configure wine via wine-setup, then copy the Phantom Frog folder of a running windows installation into your "program files"-directory. Change to that dir and just type wine Phantom Frog.exe ...

[Phantom Frog Mac version]

Has anyone tried to get the phantom frog running under linux (using wine)???

 

 

Edit: Jep, works

[Palletts???]

playing around with phantom frog i found another solution:

 

let's take the same situation, blue scene, fading the fixtures to the audience, changing color to white, so

 

1. put the blue scene to a memory, let's say no. 50

2. put the blue and white scne to next memory, no. 51 in this example

 

Then flash your memory 50 (ok, no flash button, but the fader should work, too ) and then press "GO"

 

And if you don't like "flashing" via fader, start with (empty or let's say "dark") memory 49 (and get Memory 51 to jump to Mem 49) .

 

So open memory fader, memory 49, hit go -> blue scene, hit go -> blue scene moving to blue and white scene, hit go -> darkness. Don't forget to play around with fade times ... Cool ha?

[Palletts???]

AFAIK it is not possible to use color and position palletts at the same time But just flashing your submaster (with one hand) and then pressing a pallett button (with your other hand) should be possible if you 'lock' your preset flashs as palletts (via F1 + color/beamshape/position).

 

@Zero88: Perhaps it would be a nice featuere to be able to lock all the color/beamshape/position at the same time (having 8 color/bs/position palletts, each) and/or to be able to put more than one function (color/bs/position or perhaps even a oneshot-chase) to one ("universal-") pallett.

 

@jester777: If you allways want the same things changing after hitting your submaster-flash, use a oneshot-chase, eg. generics and fixtures blue and after one second fixtures moving to audience, changing color to white.

 

HTH

That would be a great feature, indeed. But i think, there is no "intelligence" behind phantom frog (but sure behind the phantom-developers ).

[i like the thinking behind this desk!!]

Look at the MS-100

[Do I need a fat frog?]

I really like the sound of the fat frog but would like a bit of info from people ...

 

cool. I didn't know, it can be used for sound, too !!!

[Strikefestival Tribute to Monsters Of Rock and WYSIWYG]

There is a downloadable (test-)version. But i can't remember what features you won't be able to use with it. Took me hours to install it and didn't work proper on my old notebook ...

[Removing / Editing Fixture Data]

As many users have problems with full mode - 3 threads in the last 2 weeks, i think - perhaps it would be a good idea to deliver the desks in partial mode as default, IMHO ?!?!

Lucky you... we also do a Northern Europe (incl. NL) "Win a Frog" deal!

 

Training and winning in D, A or CH???

 

Edit: Okok, saw the other thread

[Jem TechnoHaze pulsed control]

can you tell us more about the pulsed signal. As i understand a 2Hz-Signal with 60% On is 100% Haze. Is it possiple to set the output to 50%, i.e.?

 

To produce such a signal you can use a NE555, a very cheap and easy to handle, clock chip.

[Frog Manual - German]

BTW: I found a little complicated sentence in the german frog (1) manual (probably as complicated as my english ):

 

Page 4-10:

 

Einfuegen eines Steps

Is: "2. Verwenden Sie die + und - Tasten, um den Step anzuwählen, der vor dem Step liegt, vor dem Sie einen Schritt einfügen wollen".

 

Should be: "2. Verwenden Sie die + und - Tasten, um den Step anzuwählen, nach dem Sie einen Schritt einfügen wollen".

 

Another funny thing about this sentence is, that the same thing is once called "Step" and once "Schritt"

[DMX... adapters/ termination /pockettester]

Hi,

 

as i understand the only prob about microphone-cables as DMX-Lines is the wrong impedance. This results in reflections inside the cable, so that the receiver (probably) may not receive a proper signal (that may result in wrong DMX-values). And wrong DMX-values may destroy Scanners or Moving-Heads ("flickering pan, tilt, beamshape" may be harmful).

 

In addition to that there may be peaks on the DMX-Line, but maximum 10Volts (when 2 +5V-Peaks cross each other), but that won't destroy any DMX-Inputs, IMHO. Besides you have a signal loss because of the wrong impedance.

 

Because of the small difference of impedance DMX(AES-EBU)-Cable/Microphone-Cable (110/perhaps 90-95) you can ignore these problems. Most important: terminate your DMX-Line (otherwise you really have reflections)!
