At least, I can do that on my Ion.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Hey, thanks to everyone who provided advice over the last couple months as I work out the kinks in the lighting at the educational theatre that I now oversee at Grand View

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Turns out that the 120 circuits in the theatre had nothing to do with dimmer doubling and everything to do to hooking circuits above 96 directly to dimmers 1 through 24. I
relabled the circuits on the catwalks to reflect that 97 was REALLY 1, & 98 was Really 2, etc...<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">However, what I really seek advice on is about the Elation FUZE Z120 fixtures. I am putting together a capital request (over $5000) for lighting and as you probably surmise
from the inventory that I have related, our lighting situation is somewhat basic. I DO have 6 ETC LINEARs & 2 ColorSource PARS (not sure what all can be done with just 2 of these), but our ability to isolate and highlight a variety of theatrical moments in
a single play are limited by the current technology.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We have an ETC Element board with 2 DMX universes and I have experience at a small theatre in Florida with the FUZE WASH Z120s which were very handy for just the type of thing
that I contemplate. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The first question revolves around the fact that that theatre only had a 10' grid & was something like 30' deep & 40' wide when in thrust. My current theatre has a 16' grid,
but only a 20'x 30 ' thrust playing area for the stage. Frankly, I found that the throws in the first theatre were usually too shallow, but I wonder if the slightly steeper but still longer throws in my new space might be too much for the light output of
the Z120s. Thoughts<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Also, since the ELEMENT doesn't have encoders, I wonder how arcane focusing these might be using the ML tab on the board. (I have used the ML tab to select color for the Linears
& the ColorSource PARs, but didn't really see how focusing moving lights is accomplished.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Frankly, I am concentrating on the Z120s because of the current relatively low price which should allow me to source 6 or more on this request. If others have any opinions
of options or cautionary tales, I'd like to know.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
