Can anyone explaine to me the diffrence between the SGA gates as opposed to the SG-1 gates. From the graphics I've seen they use diffrent symbols. Do the new ones just an advanced form of the constallation co-ordinate system like the SG-1 style?

They do use different symbols. The actual gate prop doesn't have the symbols on it. They're added digitally later.
Anyway, it's hard to say how the gate actually works. I don't really know. There are a few other threads on this that you should check out.Tripudire est irritus

They are added later. If you watch Rising again when they first dial the gate "Chevron 1 encoded" etc. when they show a closeup of the cheverons, you can see the dots from the glyphs actually shining, more like the shadow of, through the chevrons where they shouldn't be. It must be a rendering prob.Before this day is done, I will feed on your buttery defiance

I'm 99% sure the dots on the glyphs are actually small lights on the gate. Heck, just check out the thread in General Discussion by the guy who just visited the set. He posted a link to where you can see many of his personal photos taken on the set, and lo and behold - the Atlantis gate has shiny glyphs on it. I doubt the visual effects people digitally alter all the photos guests on the set take...

I just looked at the part in rising, and you can see the shadows of the glyphs shining through the chevrons. Either the chevrons are made of a much much thinner material than I thought, or they dots have been added, or enhanced after.Before this day is done, I will feed on your buttery defiance

This is a screen capture from "Rising" when they dial the gate out of atlantis the first time. It is taken just before the 7th chevron locks. You can see the dots of light in front of the chevrons. Click on it to zoom a little.Attached FilesBefore this day is done, I will feed on your buttery defiance
