Turkey, Baby

This is a great story from our lighting designer friend Jens Hillenkotter about programming a very complicated show from his hotel room in Turkey by using a pair of SHoW Babys. It is a pretty amazing story that shows what designers sometimes have to do to get the show up and running. This is a very slick use of wireless DMX.

Poor Quality Wireless DMX Systems Can Cause Random Flashing

In our research of products in the wireless DMX world, we discovered that there are widely used products that can, under circumstances that you may face on a show, exhibit random flashing of lights not planned to be in a cue. This could ruin your production. We set up a large lighting rig to test this and filmed the results. Watch this viedo to see why lighting professionals trust their shows to City Theatrical and SHoW DMX.
