mrfrog Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 During a recent show with the Bullfrog we needed the deaklamps to be dimmable and upon entering the menu we found that unlike our previous board they were not. Obviously we had our scripts (white paper) under the lamps and the spill lit up the lighting booth like a floodlamp, and it also ruins night-vision (trying to see when the stage is clear etc). It would be great if this feature could be implemented in a future version of the Frog. Thanks David Quote
Pipo Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Had that problem before, just put a small piece of color filter on your desklamp. Just watch out with the color, you don't want people to think the are in a 'red light district' 8) Quote Den Pipo Pro Light Design
K-Nine Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 If the desk contains the STMain 2 processing board (which all Bull Frogs have), then theoretically this would be possible with a change to the software.

erikje Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 we normally use a separate dimmable gooseneck light Quote
Haytech Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Install a separate dimmer pack in your booth so you can implement your gooseneck´s in the plot 8) :mrgreen: Please don´t take me serious.

ice Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Just program a decent show, install a footswitch and you've got no use for the entire console The GO button is a wonderful thing Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt?
Haytech Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 I want your easy live Ice Are you Programming one show per month or more ? I program every weekend a one or two new ones - they aren´t perfect - that´s why I have to use all the desk abilities.... at live situations ... Quote Sebastian H.

mrfrog Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Posted September 29, 2004 Install a seperate dimmer pack in your booth so you can implement your gooseneck´s in the plot Thats almost as silly as the parcan pizza oven we installed in our dimmer room and programmed into the console, so that by interval the pizza was perfectly cooked... mmm.... lol on a serious note we could just use a spare dimmer channel cus the dimmer room is right next to the booth. Thanks for the ideas and the Frog Reference David Quote
