Three draft standard have been added to PLASA’s public review website at http://plasa.me/4xvjf bringing the total to six. Their reviews run through June 30; their review will be over when July 1 starts. These recently posted draft standards are:
BSR E1.31 – 201x, Entertainment Technology — Lightweight Streaming Protocol for Transport of DMX512 using CAN — This is a revision of the existing standard that describes a mechanism to transfer DMX512-A packets over a TCP/IP network using a subset of the ACN protocol suite. It covers data format, data protocol, data addressing, and network management. It also outlines a synchronization method to help ensure that multiple sinks can process this data concurrently when supervised by the same controller. This revision includes the addition of DMX universe synchronization.
BSR E1.37-2 – 201x, Entertainment Technology – Additional Message Sets for ANSI E1.20 (RDM) –Part 2, IPv4 and DNS Configuration Messages — This document is another part of the multi-part, open-ended E1.37 standard. It provides additional Get/Set parameter messages (PIDs) for use with the ANSI E1.20 Remote Device Management protocol. Messages in this document are intended for configuring network interfaces, routing information, and Domain Name System settings on devices with IPv4 addresses.
BSR E1.39 – 201x, Entertainment Technology — Selection and Use of Personal Fall Arrest Systems on Portable Structures Used in the Entertainment Industry — E1.39 establishes minimum requirements for the selection and use of personal fall arrest systems on portable structures in the entertainment industry. The standard establishes minimum requirements for products and portable structures used in the service of PFAS. Other methods of fall protection, such as safety nets and guard rails, are not within the scope of this standard. This standard does not preclude the use of other standards to promote worker safety.
