| The power sockets on the ceiling are still safe to use, but all lights must either be on the floor or on one of the lighting stands. | | The power sockets on the ceiling are still safe to use, but all lights must either be on the floor or on one of the lighting stands. |
| == '''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.
