magish01 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Here is the scenario. I would like to have about 1/2 to 1 hour of static lights (all on, no animation) with Zara radio prior to my animated show, and the same thing after the animated show. Show will be about 25 minutes long and will play for about 5 hours.My question is....would it be best to make 3 schedules 1 animated and 2 with no music and all lights on. Play one static with a show length of the 1/2 hour. Then shut down the show and start up the animated show?What are the lag times between running 2 schedules back to back.Any input or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

jimswinder Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I ran a "static" show from 4:30 till 6:00 before my musical show started.And I had no "lag" between shows...Static show ended at 6:00...Musical show started at 6:00:01There is somewhere (under preferences I beleive) where you can state how much of a lag time you want between shows... (at work, so can't dive into my LOR Software).Edit:Here is a post about the "lag" between shows and where the settings are.http://forums.lightorama.com/view_topic.php?id=17824&forum_id=25&highlight=time+delay+between+shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My static shuts off and the show starts immediately. After the show there's a static display until midnight. Then there's a static with just minimum light overnight. It shuts down in the morning. The whole thing starts over at dark. It takes me 3 static animations, 1 before the shows, 1 after and 1 for overnight.And by the way, there are no stupid questions here...JeffDitto what Jim and Jeff said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shfr26 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I guess that person did not see the word "about" in my post. Hence the 2855 comment. Maybe if that person actually read the complete post, instead of just making his post count go up, than he would understand. The problem is, he is just too nice not to have here, OH MY GOD!!!! Did I really type that out loud????? I need help quick!! Another open one for "him" to add another post or 500 or so about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
