Yessir. Things changed with the Vision stocks, for sure. In many good ways, of course, but the mojo of those 80s stocks seemed diminished in the newer T-grain stocks, from 1986 forward.

Sounds like you got there! What was the software you found for the DMX controller / DMX 512 output to the fixtures?

Ah, maybe I misread that you were attempting to use the Luminair app. Carry on!

That era, and many of the films we all come back to as 80s favorites were shot on Kodak's 5247 (100 Tungsten) / 5297 (250 Daylight) / 5293 (250 Tungsten) / 5294 / 5295 (400 Tungsten). They had a wonderful tonal quality, in spite of their relatively limited dynamic range (about 13 stops), and...

Luminair is a streaming DMX platform, meaning you need a gateway or other such interface between it and most light fixtures to get into standard DMX universe(s). You can connect to Lumenradio CRMX devices from your Luminair device via Bluetooth. Range will be limited, of course. One universe...

Coming from a film and TV studio systems integration background, I will always advocate for wired DMX in permanent spaces (theatres; sound stages; newsrooms) and encourage only using the best wireless technologies for location and temporary installation work. Wired DMX can be networked, then...

Just picked up this deal today. Backordered, but they lock the price if you order now. $399 This will play on my BMD P4K and Pyxis cams. https://store.hollyland.com/products/mars-4k?utm_source=hollyland&utm_medium=detail_page&utm_campaign=buy_button

The BMD deal on their Resolve and Color Davinci consoles was nifty!

Whether buying items imported from Europe, Canada, the Americas, or Asia, I don't see how such tariffs don't quickly affect our end-user pricing. Between 2017 and 2021, we saw a big jump in raw material costs, especially in metals and processors / chips. Some of that was tariff, and a lot of...

Welcome, Stephen! There are fantastic (often helpful) people here, with many collective decades (centuries... millennia?!) of experience between them. Good luck in your new ventures.

Luminaire requires a network connection. It could be: iPad ))) ((( WAP > Switch > Gateway / DMX Out(s) > DMX Fixtures Companies like RatPac Controls have devices like the AKS Plus, which combines a WiFi Access Point with a CRMX Tx and DMX 3-Pin Out (1 Universe) (Mini, must be adapted to...

There are a lot of thin, inexpensive, portable solutions for control via iOS or Android devices. For studios, stages, theatres, and architectural integrations, we usually install a permanent network and DMX distribution solution, as you do not want to exceed 31 total devices at each optically...

Interesting conversation here! In the past, we captured images on fixed color temperature and fixed exposure index celluloid film stocks. These stocks were exposed via a relatively narrow variety of light sources, including natural sunlight, arc and discharge, incandescent, and halogen, all of...

Can you post up a picture of where it broke? We sell a lot of the 546B tripod with mid-level spreader and I haven't heard of them breaking. I also owned one for about a year of intensive shooting and had no trouble. It looks like the mounting point is held in with a rolled pin. From there...

Green and magenta a la 1982 - or is it 2019?
