There were some new product announcements and we actually have more information.<br> <br> <br> <br> One of the items announced was the ONYX Dylos system, a pixel mapping engine. There wasn’t a lot of information provided so I reached out on Facebook to see if anyone was at the show and able to see this new product in action. There are some great videos on Facebook from Eric Loader with the new ONYX Dylos system <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/OnyxUsers/announcements/">here</a>. <br> <br> <br> <br> Another cool item that was announced at the USITT Show was the ETC Augment3d (Augmented). What this is, is a 3D Visualizer that meets real life. What makes it different from other visualizers is that has full integrations with their console. <br> <br> <br> <br> This unit was designed with theater in mind. It allows you to draw out your space physically then you can move around lights with your mouse or using the touch screen on the visualizer. As long as you are accurate with placing your lights everything should hit where its suppose to.

Every time we change the bulbs they will be burnt out again within 1 month to 2 months. Around half of them will do it… I don’t know if we are using the wrong bulbs or doing something wrong. Any idea is appreciated.<br> <br> <br> <br> I’m not sure what type of lights you have or what bulbs are being used but you probably have your sockets going bad. This is fairly common, especially with lights being used over time. You’ll want to order new sockets or have someone come out and replace the sockets for you.<br> <br> <br> <br> Something to try before replacing your sockets is bringing all of your lights up to full and meter the power. You should be getting between 110 volts to 125 volts.<br> <br> <br> <br> Joseph (10:35): Good day, Mr. David! I’d like to ask for your help with regards to the lights I have. Please see the attached photo, my problem is that there is no available cable I can find here in Guam or online that is male in both ends to connect in my DMX controller. Can you please help me or do you have any suggestions. <br> <br> <br> <br> The important thing to know about DMX is that the input and output are a general purpose two plugs that provide input and output. This is known as a bust configuration.<br> <br> <br> <br>
