== '''General about the rig''' ==
[[File:800px-LightingRigG045.jpg|thumb|right|The lighting rig being installed in G/046.]]
* OK, in 04/11/2009, the rig can be considered mainly old.
* With a few bits of quite nice new(ish) stuff
* It's analogue. We know.
== Power ==
The rig eats a lot of juice:
It is fed from two 32amp Ceeform plugs on the wall (same wall as fire escape). Note this is not three phase!
YSTV has managed to trip these on occasion!
== Dimmers ==
Pulsar status dimmers: (2 of)
* 8-pin Din analogue signal in, 0-10v
* With pre-heat (good for not shocking cold bulbs if they suddenly get turned on, this increases lamp life. YSTV hasn't used this facility though... until 04/11/2009).
* 6 5amp channels each.
* If they're buzzing, they're happy!
== Desk ==
Zero88 Sirius24
The desk is  a 24 channel model, that can be programmed with chases, steps, memories etc... It's quite obscure: controls aren't used in the order that would make them most intuitive, with a precarious mix of HTP and LTP channels. Because of this obscure programming method, not many people use it fully.
The Zero88 outputs 0 to 10v through it's large D-Sub connectors located on the back panel. These D-sub connectors then go into an adapter, to change the pin arrangements ready for the dimmers.
== Hardware ==
On the ceiling is a home-made steel pipe frame, with some IWB's here and there. These are fed by the outputs from the IEC patch panels  which are above the dimmer rack.
== Lights ==
Furse floods: (2 of)
* Old fresnels.
Selecon Asymetric floods {{unsure|(unknown number of)}}
* Actually not old!
* Asymetric! not even spread of light.
* Use to light back walls evenly, rather than a large "splodge" of light at the top, and not much at the bottom.
* The above makes them very useful when doing [[Chroma_key]] work.
== Gels ==
We have some. In cupboard.
