As part of the new ENTECH Technicians’ Lunch Series, this unique two hour session will bring together some of the local industries best practitioners to discuss two topics openly, with a view to offering practical advice and guidance. With a limited number of seats available, join hosts Show Technology as they facilitate the following sessions over lunch:
When things go wrong
presented by Joe Mercurio, Panelists: Liz Beedle, Chris D’bais, John Taylor
The 65,534 most common production problems and some well road-tested techniques for sorting them out.
A group of seasoned lighting techs will look at three general topics before throwing the discussion open for an interactive Q&A problem-solving session.
1. That light won’t come on
How to work out if it’s the shutters, the patching, the dimmers, the control desk, the substation or a dyslexic programmer.
2. DMX strangeness
Identifying DMX system problems. Is a fixture flickering, are channels appearing in strange places, are devices intermittently not answering the console, is your device stuck in a parallel universe?
3. Scheduling your way out of mayhem
The fit-up was going smoothly until a truck went to the wrong venue, or the welders cleared the stage to rebuild a riser, or the engineers decided the only EWP on site was too heavy for the stage, or a transformer blew up in the sub-station. Getting your production back on track when the ship hits the sand.
Bulletproof production data networks
Presented by Paul Collison – eleven DESIGN; Blake Garner – Freelance Lighting Designer/Technician; Vince Haddad – Show Technology
The majority of data networking equipment and practices are based around the electronically-benign and peaceful environments found in offices, homes and schools.
Led by a couple of battle-hardened network gurus, this session is about designing, building, running and maintaining Ethernet/IP networks for the hostile, demanding, high-pressure and complex environment that is live production.
