A couple of things.
1) can you please rename the title of this thread to "
Sneak PEEK". A the top of something, like a mountian peak. A peek, is a look into something, which is what we are talking about here.
Not to be a total A** but grammar and spelling are becoming lost arts these days and they shouldn't be.
2) the SmartPack you see, is in actuality a SmartSwitch. It's just a
DMX controlled
relay rack. Typically these are used to
power 120 or 208 volt moving light circuits in a space like this. I can't speak to if that's what is actually going on - but that's what they are usually used for.
Whoops, sorry about that, I am usually a huge grammar nazi, I can't believe I missed that. It was 3am when I posted this though, I don't think my brain was functioning all that well.
You are also correct! That SmartPack is a SmartSwitch with 20, 20amp relays. They are being used to supply and control
power to the
HMI House Lights and the
LED's, All of the acoustical panels you see in the first photo on the left and right walls are all backlit by architectural RGBW
LED units. The relays turn them on and off, as well as the
HMI lamps in the
house lights (The incandescents are
dimmer controlled.) All movers in the future will be powered by the 400 amp
CAM-LOK panel on the back wall. While touring sound
power will be provided by the 200 amp panel with Isolated
Ground.
The Reason we have 3 Sensor+ racks and not two is, this first SR24 rack is the rack for our smaller
theatre which I didn't post pictures of yet, it has 48 dimmers. The other two racks are the dimmers for the big
theatre which has 144 Dimmers. The
breaker panel is a good 12 inches away from the Sensor Rack so yes the door opens all the way.
The new lighting
console is an
ETC Ion with a 2x10
fader wing and one
monitor. The entire
theatre is wired with ETCNet3, no
DMX at all, we have 6 Touring
ETC Nodes for
DMX where we need it and the lighting
network has plugs all over the place including 2 for each
electric and everything is
POE.
Huge
props to Chris Souza and Kathleen Maynard from ALPS in Randolph, MA for helping consult on this job and getting us probably THE most technologically advanced High School
Theatre's in the country.
Unfortunately I wore shorts to work today and apparently shorts aren't allowed on the construction site. I had to borrow a pair of Jeans from the Costume shop. Haha!
