I am currently looking at a complete re-vamp of or school lighting system and I was wondering if anybody could recommend some good solutions.
Our current layout is two front of
house bars - each carrying 8 sockets (2 per
channel) and a further 4 bars (again carrying 8 sockets) over the stage.
We have a VERY old lighting board - Furse Regal - and I am looking at replacing this as the first item. I would like it to be easy to control moving lights with as I am thinking of buying two S4 revolutions as I love the S4's we currently have. This would obviously mean the installation of
DMX universe.
Any board recommendations - bearing in mind that we have very limited space in our lighting box - 60cmdepth - 120cm width are max dimension for the board.
So can anyone provide some very rough costings - I'm sure ship will provide me with a brilliant solution and accurate quote (attempt to suck up).
I have already estimated at 8k for a dmx system and a replacement of our control rack to split the 4 channels per bar to 8 so obviously I would require/prefer a 48/96 board for spontaneity setups - estimated 5.5k for
etc express 48/96 and a further 5k for two s4's revolution
I have my original application for a grant and would be more than happy to e-mail it to anyone for criticism
