About

Inner Space 2014, otherwise known as Between 2 Wings, was a project done by first year PTM students in January 2014.

Electrics/Video

The LX rig was primary rigged on the Tuesday, but due to the extent and size of the rig, LX rigging and focussing continued well into Wednesday.

LX Rig

The electrics rig was fairly straightforward, the only complexity being the size of the rig. During rigging, the DMX line on LX 4 had to be swapped out as it failed to function. Also during the rig it was decided that the US Band boom with the S4 Pars and the onstage set up lighters were not necessary and were therefore cut.

Equipment

*This equipment list does not account for the booms and on stage floor package being cut*

Video Rig

Video on this show was an integral component. There were two main video areas, the main screen content and the onstage scores.

The onstage scores, were very simple in their operation. Two laptops sat backstage and the score boards were simply power points with 100 slides with numbers on them, allowing for up to 100 points (even though we only reached 17 in the show). The two laptops were operated by the Stage Management Team.

The Main screen content was slightly more complicated. The content was loaded on to two laptops running [Resolume Arena].
We needed the contestants on stage to see what was on the main screen without turning around. The original idea was to use multiple VGA splitters and run the content from only one server with the other one being a backup. However, we could only source one VGA splitter from the AV stores. The solution was to run one server as the source for the main screen, and another as the source for the stage. These were then loaded with the same content and given the same Artnet control, meaning they were identical copies of each other.

Control

Control on this project was provided by a GrandMA Fullsize. The project ran over 4 universes:

Universe 1 - In-House Dimming - This was connected by using the DMX patches on the DSR Facilities box to the control room.
Universe 2 - Overhead DMX - This was connected by using the Ethernet patches on the DSR Facilities box to the control room. DMX to Cat5 jumps were used at each end.
Universe 3 - Floor Package DMX - This was simply a long DMX ran along the iron behind the full black. This then went a DMX splitter DSL, which provided individual DMX lines to each boom or floor fixtures.
Universe 10 - Media Servers - This universe was outputted over Artnet on subnet 0, ports 0 and 1. This controlled the Media servers.

The following is a network diagram of how the system was built, and a view of the control position itself:
