External attribute control

We're looking at using MAC IIIs in followspot mode for an upcoming production but we need to find a way to give the spot ops control of hte Iris.  The unreasonable clunky solution would be to do USB extensions to external fader wings at each spot, ideally it would just be a lever or fader that we can mount to the top of the light.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

Right now my thought is to somehow give the operators access to an inhibitive sub for their respective Iris so the console still has control but they can override.

  • We just found ourselves with exactly the same problem using two source 4 followspots, where we wanted our operators to have local inhibits, but for the top level of the dimmer to be set by Eos. We went with Dan's suggestion, using the IO Gateways, and two 0 - 10v analogue faders. It's been working reliably for  5 weeks now.
