Hello, This is my very first post on the ADJ site. I want to thank anyone who replys in advance. I have just purchased a DMX operator and a pair of pocket scans. I have no idea what I am doing other than knowing how to plug them in and turn them on. I would like to start programming some scenes into the operator to be able to control the scans but the instruction booklet gives only basic info without any real working examples. It seems that the only way for me to see what changes I am making to the lights using the slide adjustments on the controller is to have the light plugged into the board but Not in program mode. So do I have to switch back and forth for every step I want to program?? I followed the instructions as to recording a setting for the light but now I can't get the light to actually play the program that I think I made. I am so green that I dont even understand the terminology that the book is using ( ie. scene, chase, etc.) Are there any "dummies" style books or web sites that could teach me more? Is there anyone who feels like talking a newbie thru the process, STEP -by - STEP of getting a basic lighting effect set up from plugging the system together to playing it? If so I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks so much!
