Important !!
The touch screen computer in the projection booth is all set to run the Chamsys MagicQ software. Do not update the operating system on this computer or you will loose everything. If you do decide to move this computer down to the cafeteria level, be careful not to jostle it too much. There is a plastic bezel that is tucked into the right side of the screen that sometimes comes loose. If it does, gently push it back into place. Without this bezel in place the touch screen will not work properly.

If you decide that you would rather use the Lehigh Rendition II Lighting Console get in touch with me and I can give you some pointers. I can save you a lot of aggrivation and I also have patch settings done for that console. Do not just select new show and then patch 1 to 1 unless you really want to be lost.
