Introduction to Show Control explains the methods and practice of interconnecting and synchronizing entertainment technology systems such as lighting, lasers, audio, video, stage machinery, animatronics, special effects, and pyrotechnic systems for live shows such as concerts, theater productions, theme park attractions, themed-retail installations, cruise ship shows, immersive art experiences, museum exhibits,and traditional performing arts.Topics covered include cueing systems, show types, system architectures, methods of connecting systems, such as OSC, SMPTE and MIDI TIme Code, and MIDI Show Control. The book culminates with an easy to understand set of system design principles and then examines a cohesive show control system design approach that is explored through realistic example systems from throughout the world of live show production. This new book-along with the companion volume Introduction to Show Networking-are the successors to Huntington's now-retired Show Networks and Control Systems, the industry standard since 1994.
