There is a learning curve,but it isn't as hard as you might think.Crawl before you walk, get a 16-32 channel setup and start playing with it. You can demo the software by downloading you just won't be able to output to the controllers. Start small then increase as your needs and knowledge of the process increase. Don't attempt pixels your first year,pixels are a different creature with too many variables for just starting out. The LOR website and Youtube have lots of videos that answer lots of questions along with the forums. If the programming gets a little tough, then you can find free sequences or pay to have the sequences programmed for you. Have fun and enjoy the process! SPaschall

Fantastic as always Frank! SPaschall

Thank you for the compliments, while I would love to take credit for the snowman I can't do it. They are built by Mike Ziemkowski and he has a side business called Seasons Greeters where he sells these. You can purchase them here http://www.holidaytechnologies.com/catalog/index.php?id_category=22&controller=category They are a bit steep but they are all handmade and extremely well built. I would recommend these to anyone who plan or want to take their display to another level. It was probably the easiest thing in our display to program, once you get the vocals tapped out, the process takes about 1 1/2 hours to program a song. If you have any more questions let me know.

Great song and nice sequencing! SPaschall

Thanks for the compliments, No the snowman stays outside, if it is raining I just wrap a tarp around him. The cloth dries out quickly. I have ran him in a light rain but I don't run the show during inclimate weather. SPaschall Thanks for the compliments, No the snowman stays outside, if it is raining I just wrap a tarp around him.

Magical Christmas in Hazel, Ky. featuring over 50,000 lights, 15ft. Pixel Tree and Seasons Greeters Snowman

We have four in our display 10ft. tall with 8 channels. Odd channels are clear, even channels are red. The way we mounted ours is we put a 16 in. piece of 2" pvc in concrete below grade and put a clean out on each one. Then we put a male adapter on the bottom of the pole. When we get ready to set up I just take the cap off of the clean out and screw the pole into the clean out. I run a couple of guys just to keep it stable in high winds. This year we have added 3 channel exploding stars from Christmas Light Show to the top so I had to guy them a little better because of the added weight at the top. SPaschall

A Z-Tree is normally 3-4 colors and separated into 4 zones or sections. On ours one controller controls 3 colors a 3d star and strobes. From a build standpoint I have seen them made out of pvc, wood or lightweight metal. SPaschall

Thanks for the "likeys" lol I appreciate it. SPaschall

Thanks guys for all the input, I guess I have a show to modify. SPaschall

Well do the visitors notice that it is the same show every year? I try to use different songs every year to keep it fresh, or am I looking way to deep into it. SPaschall

Well I hope that I can possibly get the new show ready by midseason but I hate to throw it out there without watching it and making changes if need be. I am really anal about that lol! SPaschall
