Next, I check the system log, and use 'ctrl-F' to search the word 'mover' where I do see the lines where it executes which it has done faithfully ever night. But basically, it says 'mover: started' and next line is 'mover: finished' one second later. Seems like it hasn't done anything in 3 days even though it's being triggered?
3. Only - doesn't makes sense on first read. but makes sense after realizing that it will use the cache disk unlike a cache disk (by making the files reside here and only here permanently). ie, use the cache disk instead of the array.
4. Prefer - doesn't make sense on first read. but makes sense after considering option 3. Here it means prefer to use the cache disk instead of the array as long as space is available on the cache disk.
I have 4 Legend 550 Spots that I am using. Right now I am not using any haze so I am just using them to light different parts of the stage. My question is, is there a way to make the mover fade out, reposition itself for the next cue, and then turn back on?
Say cue 1 has the movers shining in red with gobo 1 on the wall, cue 2 has the mover shining in blue with gobo 2 shining on the floor. When I go to cue 2 you see the mover cycle through all the colors on the wheel to get to blue and all the different gobos to get to the new one. Obviously it is very distracting and not very clean. So when I go to cue 2 I want the mover to fade out (3 seconds or so) move to the new location, change the color wheel and gobo to the new one and fade back in (another 3 seconds or so). Is this possible?
To manage this from the console you need to introduce an intermediate cue where the light goes to black, marks to the new location, and then fades back in. You can use follow or hang to automatically trigger this intermediate cue.
As an alternative, some moving lights have a "move in black" or "blackout" setting where the fixture will black out prior to changing settings. I can't find a manual on-line so there's no way to know if your fixtures support such a mode. Personally, I wouldn't choose to use the setting because sometimes I want live moves.
If they are chauvet legends, I think they do have this feature. It's not implemented very well though, the one time I programmed some with it unintentionally enabled, they movers would blackout when you manually pan/tilted them, which made focus remarkably difficult. I'd avoid settings like that if at all possible.
Cue 2.5 - Autofollow. Movers fade up in the new position. Put a follow time of 2x the fade time of cue 2, or change the focus/color beam time to 0, but still give the mover a few seconds to get to it's new place.
I was reminded recently of a video/transcript that I remember coming across when it was fresh, five or six years ago. This was one lecture at Sam Altman's Stanford Startup Class where Peter Thiel was the guest lecturer. His central thesis was that you want to be a monopoly, and that competition is for losers. In particular, you don't want first-mover advantage, you want last-mover advantage. In an example that even he says is just a bit too cute, in chess, white is the first mover. The last mover is the winner.
Or how about this one? An online yearbook for Harvard students might not strike you as a $100 billion idea. But that's how Facebook started. It was the dominant (only) player in a small market (Harvard has 23,000 students). Then in all universities. Now the world.
The phrase "Last Mover Advantage" is actually a chapter from Peter Thiel's book Zero to One, subtitle Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future. Here's where the title comes from (the opening paragraph of the book):
This book had an interesting genesis. In a 2012 course at Stanford Law School, Peter taught "Computer Science 183: Startup". In the audience was student Blake Masters. He wrote detailed notes on the lectures which became an internet sensation, read by many people on the day they appeared (me being one of them). Afterward, Peter worked with him to rework the notes into the book. If you look at the cover, it is by "Peter Thiel with Blake Masters".
I won't rehash the whole book (you should just read it, it is on everyone's list of top 10 books about business). Towards the end of the book, in a chapter called "Seeing Green", Peter takes a look at clean technology aka cleantech. At the start of the 21st century, everyone agreed that the next big thing was clean technology. Literally thousands of cleantech companies were founded and $50B was invested. The problem with this approach was that it might have been an important truth that cleantech was the next big thing, but everyone agreed, so it was no basis for a defensible business. In 2012 alone, more than 40 solar manufacturers went out of business.
In some ways, question 7 is the most important, and it is the same question as Peter's interview question. Great companies have secrets: specific reasons for success that other people don't see. Did anybody get cleantech right?
That was how Tesla got started, with roadsters for movie stars, venture capitalists, and anyone who could afford its $100K+ price tag.. Of course, now Tesla has a much bigger range of cars, but still all more pricey than an equivalent ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle. It's still somewhat of a fashion statement. But it is aiming at the mass market, producing a car that is as cheap as an equivalent $25K ICE vehicle. Not to mention trucks. And battery storage for solar.
But best of all, read the book Zero to One. It is a quick read of 200 pages. If you are still in doubt, read Derek Thompson's (co-founder of Paypal) Atlantic piece Peter Thiel's Zero to One Might Be the Best Business Book I've Read.
In marketing strategy, first-mover advantage (FMA) is the competitive advantage gained by the initial ("first-moving") significant occupant of a market segment. First-mover advantage enables a company or firm to establish strong brand recognition, customer loyalty, and early purchase of resources before other competitors enter the market segment.
First movers in a specific industry are almost always followed by competitors that attempt to capitalise on the first movers' success. These followers are also aiming to gain market share; however, most of the time the first-movers will already have an established market share, with a loyal customer base that allows them to maintain their market share.[1]
First movers can make their technology/product/services harder for later entrants to replicate. For example, if the first mover reduces the costs of producing a product, then they will establish an absolute cost advantage, not just a marginal cost advantage. Not only this, but the first mover will be able to apply for patents, copyrights, and any other protective advantages that will further enhance their establishment in the market.[2]
Another way technology leadership comes into play is when a firm has had a unique breakthrough in its research and development (R&D), providing sustainable cost advantage if the innovative idea can be sustained and protected. It must be taken into consideration that technological changes are happening at an incredibly rapid pace. Therefore, patents are a weak protection as the transitory value is low. With the short lifetime of any technological advantage, patent-races can actually prove to be the downfall of a slower moving first-mover firm.
The second type of first-mover benefit is the ability to control resources necessary for the business that are of a higher quality than resources later entrants will be able to use. An example would be the advantage of being the first company to open a new type of restaurant in town and being able to obtain a prime location. This strategy was used by Walmart when they were the first to locate discount stores in small towns. The first entrant could also control the supply of raw materials needed to make a product, as well as obtaining the ideal supply chain. First-mover firms also have the opportunity to build resources that may discourage entry by other companies. An example of this is increasing production capacity to broaden product lines, therefore deterring following firms to enter and successfully make profits. This strategy is often used by Inditex with their fashion retail supply.[3] When economies of scale are large, first-mover advantages are typically enhanced. The enlarged capacity of the incumbent serves as a commitment to maintain greater output following entry, with the threat of price cuts against late entrants.[4]
The final type of benefit that first movers may enjoy comes from buyer-switching costs. If it is costly or inconvenient for a customer to switch to a new brand, the first company to gain the customer will have an advantage. Buyers will rationally stick with the first brand they encounter that performs the job adequately. Especially for consumer products, the first mover has the opportunity to shape consumer preferences and to earn customer loyalty. Satisfied consumers tend not to spend time seeking information about other products, and tend to avoid the risk of being dissatisfied if they switch. Some examples of pioneering brands in product categories include Coca-Cola soft drinks, Kleenex tissues, and Nestl foods. These brands are known to often dominate their markets for a long time. These brand preferences appear to be more important for retail purchases by consumers than for products purchased by businesses, as businesses buy products in larger volume and have more incentive to search for lower-cost options that will contribute to an economy of scale.[3][5]
