Hi guys, I am currently writing a show controller software suite (see http://mycms.nl/item/TJShow) and it is currently capable of controlling DMX512, MIDI,...
... Basically I know of two approaches: The "State machine" and a little more flexible software representation of that. You can think of a state machine as a...
... This is basically the philosophy we use as well and it's why the MSC spec says it should not be used to determine what is safe only to tell other function ...
Hi Tommy, ... I think Charlie makes a really important point here. While all of us here most likely consider show control software to be "mission critical"...
Just for information: some major controllers, such as Entolo's system, actually did a full capture of other pieces of machinery's states. Each cue couldn't...
Hi folks - We have a request for a ShowMan programmer to do programming in two venues on a cruise ship from October 7-21, 2007. Everyone will be boarding and...
Thanks for all the replies! I think the emphasis is on safety too much. As Charlie points out, mission critical safety should always be enforced by industry...
... This sort of think has been done right from the beginning of the simple show controllers, which were actually PLCs in the 'beginning' and even before that,...
Very nice article in the summer edition of ESTA's Protocol outlining why Shure will be migrating to ACN for use in its audio products. This is wonderful to...
Hi, ... We always try to hold the show in the deterministic part of the universe. Actually it is not that hard as it seems. It is only a question of the amount...
Just to show an example of how we are doing it currently in our show control software, this is a screenshot from the program's "capacity model viewer", where...
Wondering if anyone has some advice or experience with these products. I have two video binloops, (1) 16 reproducer, (1) 4 reproducer. The object is to sync...
Are the machines actually locking? When you plug the BNC in, do they jump? This may just be a signal level thing. There's flavors of sync (as you may know),...

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the reply, I do not notice any jumping, I am using this generator (BSG-50) and internally it is set for composite sync (supposed to be...
That sounds a little hot for a black burst generator. It's well above the standard interface levels. Broadcast station interfaces are 1V p-p terminated 75...
Close-ish. If you're seeing over 1V, then that's a big enough clue. If you feed the sync into a pro monitor and hit pulse cross (h/v delay) you should see...
Not a level I've ever seen used for the video equipment I work with. RS-170 is 1Vp-p at 75 ohms terminated. That's for sync as well as black burst. But, yes,...

Hi Bruce, This show was put together by a company from Melbourne Australia, and toured here earlier this year, I don’t have any detail on the control of the...

It was pretty full on. Our company did the lights for the Aussie tour, so I can't tell you much about the puppets - except they looked pretty amazing! Regards ...
