| SceneStation for Entertainment Applications |
|
Using the Portable SceneStation Kit, you can have DMX control virtually anywhere for a variety of Entertainment lighting projects. Many times a job requires some color-changing fixtures, or a few moving lights, or an LED curtain, etc., and needs to be set up to run just for a weekend. Additionally, you don't want or need to leave a full-blown lighting console on site. This is a great job for SceneStation! Imagine the simplicity of leaving behind a small controller with just a few buttons that the on-site staff can use to turn on and off the display, or change between a few different programs. There's less that can go wrong when you've provided only a few simple options! You can manually program simple scenes and/or shows using SceneStation Studio or the Programmer's IR Remote, or you can set up complex looks using your favorite lighting console and then have SceneStation take snapshots of the scenes for playback later. You can even use SceneStation Studio to save several commonly used show files and upload them into a SceneStation when needed. Either way, it's easier, safer and more convenient in many circumstances to leave a SceneStation behind when you need DMX control for a lighting package. Here are a few examples of how SceneStation can be used in Entertainment settings:
Example 1: A fashion show needs an excitement-generating lighting package with LED fixtures and moving lights - but it's going to be operated by on-site staff that's uncomfortable with using a lighting console. A professional lighting programmer/designer sets up a dozen or more sophisticated scenes and chases for the show using a lighting console. Then, these scenes and chases are copied into a SceneStation with a very simple setup. The first button goes to all-white, the second button selects one of several static looks, each of the remaining buttons selects a different chase sequence. The on-site staff only has to push a single button at the beginning of each show segment.
Example 2: An office building is having a grand opening weekend. The building has been covered by color-changing fixtures. A series of slowly crossfading looks are programmed into a SceneStation that loop every 15 minutes. The SceneStation is programmed to automatically begin running this sequence when power is turned on. Each night when the building lights are needed, the staff just turns on the power and the lights will automatically begin their pre-programmed show.
