Here is the setup:
One Light Pallete VL console set as "Main" in the control booth (up above second balcony) and one identical console set as "tracking backup" located off-stage right (at stage level, 2 stories down). You can see that during a show, if the main console crashes, the "backup" would take-over to keep the show running. The problem is that it's located quite far away for the board operator to keep pressing "GO" ...
Now as we all know, it is possible to use a PC laptop with the palette software as a "remote control" for a console (usually connected in the board in "main" mode).
Considering this, could it be possible to have the PC setup as a remote in the control booth, connected to the "backup" console, as to be able to trigger cues from the remote if the other one crashes ??
Is it technically possible in terms of network ? (having a remote connected to a Light Palette in backup mode)
Anyone tried it ?
