Hi all,
So this is a hypothetical question. And I am aware (for the most part) of what the official ETC response may be on this subject. So please only provide factual information if you have it, or have heard it directly from ETC.
Does the Colorsource relay have circuiting built in that allows it to be powered from a parked dimmer? Or is it in the same situation as any electronic fixture like the Colorsource that requires non-dim or constant power only?
Situation is this...
Planning a theatre upgrade from halogen to LED. Theatre currently has 2 x Strand Supervisor CD80 racks with 192 dimmers (96 cards x 2 dimmers each) in the rack. We need to know if we can purchase Colorsource relays and park a dimmer at full to power those relays or if we have to forego the Colorsource relay and just put relay cards or non-dim cards into our Supervisor rack itself.
Thoughts or comments are much appreciated.
Thanks.
Darren
