I always thought a really smart system with video where it would intuitively learn to recognize performers, at which point following with automated or by just areas, being able to add rules, tell it the fair skin blond is to be lit with pink and lavender and the male lead is lit in steel tint and n/c, with similar for other angles. and lets make it smart enough so it recognizes voice commands, and differentiates between the LD, ALD, ME, etc. Be able to paint the stage on the screen - adding light, color, or a practical. Some day we are going to get beyond the big desk with lots of buttons and sliders and displays. It will happen. Maybe not in my lifetime but it will happen. I started with auto transformers and mechanical interlocking, everything from mag amps and thyratron on multi scene analog logic preset boards, to what we have today. I still like the move fade of a piano board - and rope and sand bags - but look forward to what is coming and hope I get to see a few more major steps.
I really appreciate the insight and opinions of those posters who have to deal with what they have now and the show that must go on tomorrow. But don't not dream once in a while. I've only too recently learned teh value of stopping and looking and trying to see what would not just do and make it good enough, but what will be a major step above the last time.
