  1. Bought Frog 2 on ebay, No PS, looks like new, said came from working situation. Connected Jester PS, Keyboard, Mouse to console. Powers up to "Loading Please Wait" on internal screen and goes no further? Nothing comes up on external monitor. Downloaded newest update to USB stick and inserted into USB port closest to network port as instructed. Still goes to same point and do not see USB stick light up? P.S. I have Frog PS and Jester PS, I noticed the Jester PS has more power than the Frog and saw the Frog 2 requires more power so am trying with it. Thoughts?

  2. Ok guys need some help here. I am doing a high end event in which the client wants pairs of Mac 250's in 4 different areas of a venue. The areas are not visually connected so I am trying to figure out how to program the memories I want for one area then move to the next area and program it and so on, then connect all the Mac's together with a home run cable going to the console in a hidden area and let the Frog cycle through the memories. What would be my best options?

  3. Not quite sure on this, are you saying I will need to transfer the memory to a pallet to be able to do any editing and still have movement from the remaining lights or that the 9.8 fixed the loss of movement when editing the memory itself. I do appreciate your guys imput back to me on this subject as it has been an ongoing effort for me to try to get this worked out.

  4. If I fire up the lights with a show from a previous gig and want to use some of the memories that are already loaded in the Frog while the scene is paused I take control of lets say two of the lights and adjust their position and focus which stops the lights movement that they were doing before I grabbed them. This is fine but when I go to resave the memory they are on back with my adjustments it overrides the memory and at that point the other lights stop their effect movements and sit still. I need to know how I can make adjustments and not lose the programming on other lights as I am going to be doing an event where I will have different pairs of lights in different rooms and would have to program them in pairs as I move to each room with the console, then save the memory and connect all the lights together and run it all as a show.

  5. Is there a way to set a scene with the top row of faders in 24 ch. mode and save that scene to one of the bottom row sliders as that scene? Or does all scenes have to be sent to memory and transferred to a submaster? If so is there a way to skip certain scenes when using the go command?

  6. I lose my movement effcts whenever I try to go back into a memory and re-adjust my fixtures position for a different room using my memories saved for my show. This is only on the memories saved as a scene with an effect. Is there some thing I am doing wrong that can correct this?

  7. With a MAC 250+ and Fat Frog I am trying to do a simple 2 step chase which consists of step one starting out to the left and step two being 45 degrees to the right of step one. What I am looking for is a slow moving sweep back and forth. I have set the fixture to the speed but when playing back it takes about ten seconds to start the chase when going to it in the memories. Is there any way to get this to start sooner without the delay?
