Hi Everyone
I thought it might be a good idea to do a "hello" kind of message as I've been hanging around here for a little while now and have a few questions.
First, a bit of background:
I currently have 2x 2.7wRGB Pluto 2's and a FB3 (Quickshow).
I run a successful sound, lighting and dj equipment hire business and have been wanting to get some proper lasers for ages so I've been reading everything I can find on here and speaking to a few of you guys who have been really helpful already.
I'm booked on James' next safety training course in May.
I was really hoping to make it to the Surfleet LEM but it was a bit of a tricky weekend for me so I've set myself the goal of getting to the next one!
Maybe not this year, but I'd like to build my own projector at some point. Probably starting off as a single colour unit but in a case big enough to fit the other colours so I can upgrade it later.
Most of the questions I have had were easy to answer by searching the forum but I'm having trouble getting any decent information on using the APC40 with Quickshow. I understand that it will be reduced functionality compared to Beyond, but if I can get the cues and effects to trigger then that would be great. I'm no MIDI expert so I'm struggling at the moment.
Is there a "how to" guide somewhere for this?
In the future I might consider getting Beyond. Can someone explain how the licencing works? Can I buy it "used" from someone else (with/without their hardware)?
Has anyone fitted the Stanwax ILDA interface board to a Pluto 2? I'm keen to retrofit this because of the enhanced safety features over the basic interlock supplied on the projectors.
Cheers,
John
