In our theater we run a DMX hazer, which even at lowest output is too much for the space, so I have it programmed on a chase for 20 second haze, 20 second rest. It is very critical that this chase not be accidentally triggered by someone, as if the AC system is not on the correct setting we set off the fire alarm. Since we have a range of volunteers with their hands on the console, the risk of someone setting off the alarm is real.
Call me paranoid, but to eliminate the ability for someone to accidentally trigger or build the haze setting into a cue, I have the hazer running on a seperate, old unused console on its own universe (which obviously works).But we do have EOS, and my preference would be to have it run from the console.
In short, what is the most secure, most independant way to program and run a looped chase that cannot possibly accidentally get recorded into a cue even if it is running at the time ithe cue is recorded? Is there a way to also set the two control channels for the hazer as independant as well, so someone couldn't type 1 THRU 512 @ FULL and turn the thing on?
