README
Here at [ARHS](http://arhs.arps.org/) we do quite a bit of stage lighting,
from huge productions like the annual musical to powerpoint presentations.
This repo will serve as the hub for collective tech knowledge.
# Lighting System
## DMX Instruments
Scrollers and mirrors are connected to our lighting control via DMX. They self
assign a dimmer address, (usually) above 200, and can be patched like a
regular light, but instead of their level controlling intensity, it sets a
a scroll position in the scrollers, and a pan or tilt for the mirror.
# Lighting Design
## LX[Beams|Free]
### Patch
LX can be used to record the patch of the lighting plot, through the Chanel and Dimmer fields on any instrument.
### Exporting
A patch can be exported from the LX software into the ETC Express, through a
rather convulated process
#### DMX Instruments
*Refer to [DMX Instruments](#dmx-instruments) for a background.*
