An RVI is an ETC Net3 device that does just what it sounds like, give you remote video. It allows you to view up to two displays worth of information from the main console. RVIs can be equipped with keyboards and touch screens so that a user may control functions of the console from a remote location. Often RVIs are used to provide tech table displays for an LD or a cuelist display for a stage manager. Some venues put RVIs in various places around the theatre to allow easy access to control of lighting.
Sorry, wrong on many counts.Yeah, they are seldom used anymore. They were a good idea, but there are now cheaper options to do the same thing. And really there are no big reasons to want one.

Here's a recently-built RVI station:
from A sweet RVI setup - Electronic Theatre Controls.
Just like how ETC's RRFUs and wRFUs became RFRs.
Actually I don't think that the Net1/Net2 devices were called RVIs. They were similar in operation, but if I recall correctly they had a different moniker. Just like how ETC's RRFUs and wRFUs became RFRs. For some reson, Remote Video Node, or Just ETC Net Node, sticks in my head, dunno if that is true.

Looking at that, it has an Eos Remote Processor Unit, so it's more of a full on remote console than a Remote Video Interface. Still very nifty, but still don't get why? Talking about a RVI here, great for the crew on stage to see what's going on but this amount of control seems a little overkilly (if that's a word )
And just to put it outhere, in the background of that pic, is what looks like a US Airforce buggy thing, it says USAF and has a US flag on it? Where is this place :neutral:?
And despite what the cart says, I don't believe it to be a Gov't installation at all.
Definitely an RVI. I actually have seen some of those stations in person. It is a great setup, and very useful for that particular system and for all systems in general.
Definitely not a government location (this place has better security ). The size of the facility requires having truks like that around, and I am pretty sure they are overstock/surplus.

Wow... I never thought that picture would spark such interesting speculation...
I took the picture backstage at the LDS conference center in salt lake city utah.
Looks like mid 90's Cushman to me.The size of the facility requires having trucks like that around, and I am pretty sure they are overstock/surplus.
That's what they want us to think......Definitely not a government location
