Added 2024-09-28 23:20:29 +0000 UTCJust a photo of the projector room from the Tattoo, showing the racks of video servers and some of the projectors in the background. There are loads more projectors above this area under suitable covers on the roof of the control complex.
This isn't where the actual media is controlled from - it's done from a room with the sound mixing department. This is just the projector management and mapping room.

Windows-based systems?!?!? You're brave! When I did show production we were boned once hard by Windows (5 minute delay in the show for us to flip over to the backup systems) and we kicked it to the curb. Linux/BSD back-ends from that point forward.

2024-09-30 13:04:10 +0000 UTCI'm not sure what software and hardware the projection department uses. I deal mainly with lighting, but can help if projection have technical issues.

2024-09-29 23:25:16 +0000 UTCWhat hardware and software is used? Disguise, TouchDesigner, Mapmapper, Isadora, Green Hippo, ArtNet, BlackMagic Design, 360 Systems, QLab, LightAct, Smode, 7thsense, Notch? What projectors? And what networking, routers, and NAS? It would be interesting to know how the lighting show is put together and controlled.
