A. Control System

1. Control consoles and locations

The main console is an ETC Ion located on the 3rd floor in the light booth. This console has a separate DMX run to the dimmer rack and up-stage right.

The secondary console is an ETC Express 125 and is located in the stage manager panel at down-stage left. This console is running version 3 software.

Both consoles are connected to a ETC Response DMX merger, and can control the dimmer rack simultaneously.

2. Houselight Control

All houselights, work lights, and aisle lights are on dimmers and are addressable via DMX by either console. They may also be controlled using the ETC Analog Address system. There are 8-channel slider stations located at the stage manager panel, in the sound booth, and in the lighting booth. In addition, there are worklight buttons at both upstage personnel doors, and panic buttons (for houselights and worklights) at all house doors. All worklight and panic buttons may be disabled using a key-switch at the stage manager panel.

B. Dimming and Road-Show Power

The house dimming syste m consists of 4 full racks of ETC Sensor+ Dimmers. 356 - 2.4k dimmers are available. Power is provided by an 800-amp 3-phase disconnect.

A road-show disconnect is located upstage right and provides 3 legs at 400-amps with Cam lock ends. Bare ends tie-in is available with a campus electrician required to lug-on and off of the disconnect. An additional 100-amp disconnect is also available with bare end tie in only.
