New ETC Paradigm control system installed

[@bryanskinner]

I know this video was a year ago those light touchscreen looks awesome! My church i go to might need one of those but idk how much it costs

[@springws14lbss]

They aren't cheap, and you also need to have all the other system bits to use these particular ones. But they are very powerful, and you can pretty much get them programmed to do anything you want.

The portable nodes on the Electrics how did you run the cable to them? If there ETC I'm guessing they had ETC Net on the Electric but did you just run a new cable to the POE/ Pargadigm system?

[@springws14lbss]

The network cable runs in conduit to a gridiron junction box to each electric, then drops down and is tied to the feeder cable that runs to each electric.

[@Prudda]

springws14lbss that sounds so much easier than what I may have to do to even get DMX to the Electrics without running wireless DMX

[@springws14lbss]

We've done wireless in some schools as well, just depends on the budget and what we think would be a best fit for the school at the time.

Do you happen to have a copy of the paradigm light designer software?

[@springws14lbss]

I do, but I only got it after about 8 hours of training direct from ETC.

[@jakevinton2075]

Where can you get the training for etc. Is it inperson or are there online classes? Thanks!

[@samkphx]

I just talked to my ETC rep and apparently because it can affect life safety and UL924 they rarely allow end users access unless there are special circumstances.@@jakevinton2075

@@jakevinton2075 Mine was in person several years ago. They sent a rep to us. Contact your local ETC dealer to see if they can set something up for you.

I know the strand dimmer rack powers the fixed house and stage lighting, but what powers the fluorescent lights since they are non-dim?

[@springws14lbss]

The ones for the "sky panels" are also powered through the dimmer rack, though they are on relays, so they are on/off only. They are all 120 Volt fixtures.
