    Thank you for all of your videos. I think you have the best vids and easiest to understand. I have a China version of this board and the exact same light (among so many others). You've been a great help. I think I'm sticking with the Venue Tetra Control though since I'm a bass player and really just want an easy way to run lights while I'm playing.

    Thank you for this. I’m struggling with my 4 new mini led moving heads and my controller that’s similar to the one in your video. If all lights are channel 1 they work fine with the controller but when I rename them to their individual dmx channels I can’t get them to work with the controller. Do you have any tips please? Cheers

    • @KrisSzanto

      How many channels are on your lighting controller. If your controller has 16 Channels like the one in the video your 2nd fixture would have to be addeessed to channel 17.

    Do you use this light with a software such as Martin Mpc or lightkey? if so what dmx profile did you use.

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  6 років тому

      I use a program called eclipse from Blizzard Lighting. I believe it is similar to lightcaster. I created the profile in the software as it was listed in the manual. It is easy. Just try to find a tutorial o UA-cam for your software. Always happy to show how to do it on mine.

    Hi my question is did you turn the sound off before you plug the cable in or keep the sound on to plug the cable in on the moving head?

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  4 роки тому

      That does not matter. Set the light address, press enter and leave the light alone.

      @truongvo8543 You would make your changes then turn on the next SCANNER button and use them for 17-24. Not the easiest thing but can be done. So scanner 1 for 1-16 then disengage scanner 1, press scanner 2 and make your changes for channels 17-24 using faders 1-8. Got it?

    DJ Kris I just found your channel. You have some good info on your channel. I have that Obey 10 controller as well, but I never knew how to program it until I found your channel. By the was what model and year Van do you have? I like the size of it and how did you get your Logo put onto your Van?

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  6 років тому

      Very happy u got some useful info! The van is a Nissan NV200. 8 think mine is a 2014. They are great! The wrap was done by a company in Philly but there are many around. Had it designed by a guy on Miami... sent up specs and was ready to print. :) email me if you want more info. Kris@bydesigndj.com

    • @KrisSzanto
      @KrisSzanto  5 років тому

      I haven't heard alot about that system but I think it has its limitations. Everyone likes the simplicity of it but if I am correct it would be hard to add your own light profiles from no name brands and for me I dont know that it allows me to take one light... like a moving head spotlight and direct it to a particular point and point one to a totally different point. If it does please let me know, always like to learn. Also I do not use the old controller, but dmx software and have built many programs and chases over time that allows for good shows. I also can strobe all my lights with a touch of a button and trigger independent lights, groups and more. Thanks for checking out the channel and I will definitely look into the aforementioned software. 👍🍻🤘

      Chris, it has about 15k fixtures loaded in. It does have the Lixada movers listed as well as a bunch from the Tom Shine brand. If you are currently using software, you more than likely will have more control than what Light Rider provides but I believe it's worth your time to look into it. Great way to control lights without building scenes, and a TON of programming.
