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*
The bars were wired with a selection of IWB's and Socapex tails. Additionally on LX 4, an IWB that was believed to have 10 working circuits only had 9. Therefore there was an additional piece of 15A TRS ran to Prompt Side Flys.
Video Rig
Video on this show was an integral component. There were two main video areas, the main screen content and the onstage scores.
Equipment
2x Macbook Pro (running Resolume Arena 4.1.6)
2x Windows PC (running Microsoft Powerpoint)
1x Sanyo 5k Projector (with Bar Mount)
4x Computer Monitor (Sourced from Ath Control Room)
4x Long VGA Cable
2x Medium VGA Cable
Onstage Video
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.
Main Screen
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. (Adaptors were needed on both ends as these are DMX sends from 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:

Sound Effects
All the effects used throughout the performance were either recorded or sourced from online sites such as televisiontunes.com and freesound.org and were cued and played through QLab. The house music was current chart music played through Spotify (nothing fancy).
Recorded
For the team’s buzzers we recorded Stephen Cunningham shouting “Hold Please” (for Sue’s team) and “Cut… No it’s all wrong” (for Hugh’s team). For the beginning of the show there was a recording of Sean Quinn announcing the show title and welcoming the audience to the performance.
