ETC Introduces SmartBar 2

ETC SmartBar 2Back during LDI 2009, ETC, (Electronic Theatre Controls) demonstrated their update to the SmartBar series of portable dimmers, the SmartBar 2.  I don’t know how I missed it at the show, but I did. No worries though, more from ETC on the SmartBar 2.

The SmartBar 2 provides an integrated dimming and fixture-mounting solution for compact, low-power applications, such as rentals, industrials or even small touring productions.

Set up your system in minutes and light like a pro – just plug in and play anytime, anywhere. Schools, churches, community theaters and outdoor events will benefit from SmartBar 2’s easy setup.

SmartBar 2 is fully digital, with operational and programming features similar to SmartPack – presets, sequences (chases), choice of dimmer curves – as well as many new features. And the console is optional thanks to SmartBar 2’s chases and local control, but pair it with a SmartFade® lighting control console and you have the perfect production combination!

Now available with more power! A SmartBar 2 high-power option is available to handle twice the fixtures on a four-circuit bar!

David from ControlBooth.com did a quick video of the SmartBar 2 at LDI 2009.

Dr. DMX YouTube Channel

dr_dmx_youtube_channelJfleenor, a user on the ControlBooth.com just recently put up a post about Dr. DMX, better known as Doug Fleenor from Dour Fleenor Design.  Jfleenor is actually Janell Fleenor, Doug’s Daughter and Master DMX Blender from LDI 2009.

Janell posted over at the ControlBooth about DFD, (Doug Fleenor Design) latest adventures, the Dr. DMX YouTube Channel.  Dr. DMX himself has started an informational video series about the properties and functionality of DMX.  The series kicks off with two videos with Dr. DMX talking about the importance of using the proper DMX cable and how DMX works over cables.

When you get a chance, head over to the Dr. DMX YouTube Channel to see the animated Dr. at work. He really is a mad scientist some times! ;)  Thanks David for point this out to me!
