After near a year or perhaps even two, I will finally have the scan thru assembly I've desired. Thanks dsli_jon. Swung a trade to acquire it, just got it mounted. It will be controlled right from the timeline in LSX. For now it will reside and just sit in front of the scanners perhaps ill build it in, in the future.

What does it do?
Flips in different effects infront of your scanners. Make a huge difference in show playback. Adds another layer of unique.

Nice. Good idea. A bit lighter than a beam table, that is for sure.
Now that IS cool! Effects post scanners work really nicely.Quote:

Got it talking to LSX.

Got it installed today. Wow!! Can't wait to post the video. Shows will never be the same!!! Now I'm already trying to figure out how to add atleast 3 more to this one projector. Second head ill only put a single on.
Also trying to work out a spinning effect, that will prob come next, before the additional 3. Vids to follow.
Yes, vids please!
i knows it busy, was just playing around to excess. :) also vids are kinda rough, not sure if youtube or what will post better later on.

I need to keep adding heads and layers. Wow I wish the bars were not set so high.
I just the other day figured out how to add 7 more Lumia positions.
Next up though is gonna be building out a PLS case or modding some projectors for others.

Wow, nice effects :)
Pool tables make excellent work benches but please put a cover over it first!!!! I am cringing looking at this video...Quote:

Using this little sucker.. A small 2 channel DMX - servo driver.. I have it configured as only 2 position ( in and out ) but the 2 pots allow me to set the down position for each servo.. Pretty useful to get Linear gratings doing a horizontal line :)

Top notch, John! Lovin the Metallica! Seeing your awesome rig in action is getting me excited to start working on mine!Quote:

How fast are these, I need to add 3 more positions, but have always thought i'd be able to see servos sliding into the beam. Where the solenoids snap in so fast you don;t see it.

A couple shots of the next grating to be added to the assy.

Were these a single grating or grating on a poly20?Quote:

It is a seperate grating. The gratings on the poly20 are way to small to scan thru. There only good for beam effects IMO.
