------=_NextPart_000_0036_01C7FFCB.8BAA8280--Hi Folks-
I need some hardware advice. I think I've wrecked my EDS input connector.
We're recording and editing in different locations, and I've been lugging
my
Paris rig all over the place. Tonight, while in a hurry to set up for tracking,
I forced the EDS/Mec connector cable into the EDS card at a bad angle, and
broke
a couple of pins. No problem, I have a spare and used it. No luck. When Paris
boots,
it now cannot find the Mec.
A closer look at the female input connector on the EDS card, shows some damage
too.
My question is, can this component be replaced as a separate item by any
computer
repair type, or is it not removable, and therefore I'll need to send the
card away?
Any help appreciated, we're wanting to keep moving on this

you test? And how long ago?
These are the ones (ADJ's) I looked at in the local GC I believe.. no name
present I could see.... probably a month or less ago again. Found them to be
absolutely not adequate for

Couldn't the same be said of tube amps, basically?

Much as I love geekin' out as well, I don't think LED's are quite the future
of professional band lighting -
however they'll have a place in the future almost certainly. They're not
bright enough and not directional enough. Mirror/reflective surfaces could
probably fix the directional problem, and en mass maybe the bright enough. I
love the weight thing, and built in DMX but once DMX is dead the fixture is
useless... not so with my incan/halo stuff. Unfortunately, I can already see
where DMX is a dying spec and running out of wind.

AAJust as an aside, have a look down the bottom of the site at the site
designers, and go to that site and open it up in Flash.
Pretty good.
