Element 2 Lighting Control Beginner Training

Hello All. I am an elementary teacher in Cincinnati area that inherited the task of controlling the lights for our "Cafetorium" for various small theater/dance/award ceremony types of needs.  We are in a newly built K-12 building with an Element 2 Lighting control that is probably overkill for our needs judging by the 600 page online manual.  We only have about 18 front flood lights and 15 overhead RGB lights. I am familiar with small DMX fader boards so this is definitely next level profession system. It looks impressive all the things you all are using this for on your posts on this forum, but I just need the basics and wanted to know what you would suggest for quickly picking up the ability to set lighting levels for different scenes, save them to a fader and be able to bring them up when needed. I was hoping there might be someone in the northern Cincinnati area that could offer some basic training oh this machine, or a good training video for a novice to this world of light control.  Thanks and looking forward to your helpful suggestions. ~ Mark

    I first have to say check with your local dealers - they may have someone on staff who would be willing to work with you, especially if they are the ones who installed the system.
    You also have CCM there - contact the theater department and see if there is someone who would be willing to talk to you.
    The Element Videos on our website are for the classic Element (1) but would give you a decent overview. The Element 2 is closer in layout to the rest of the family and therefore the Eos videos would be more up to date but not specific to ELement.
    Another resource for just general lighting would be our Educational Resource page. 

    Hope this helps.
