We don't use it in our
theatre specifically, but every other "performance space" on campus (lecture halls, auditoriums, screening rooms,
etc, everything except the big performing arts
hall and the
theatre department uses
AMX architectural controls. The other big
auditorium on campus (now has an M7CL and a JBL
line array, making the
theatre department very jealous because we know that they won't use any of it to it's full potential because all they have up at one time max is 8 or so mics and a few playback sources) had a
Lehigh Dimming architectural
system with nice interface stations for their lighting. In our
theatre specifically, we use the
ETC proprietary direct control
houselight/
worklight system for all of our houselights and worklights. It's got panic/
worklight stations, a lockout station, a master control/patch station, and various places to
plug in
fader/
button stations, each with a 50' cable with 30 or so conductors in it.
