NEW YORK – Three newly proposed industry standards, relating to manual counterweight rigging systems, RDM and Automation Control System show file exchange formats, have been posted to the Technical Standard Public Review Page maintained by PLASA. The last day to comment for these three standards is Oct. 7, 2013.
More details from PLASA (www.plasa.org):
The newly added standards are:
BSR E1.4 – 201x, Entertainment Technology — Manual Counterweight Rigging Systems, describes the design, construction and installation of manually powered counterweight rigging systems used in theatres to support and move scenery and lighting equipment. The 2009 edition of the standard is being revised to include additional essential safety requirements.
BSR E1.37-2 – 201x, Additional Message Sets for ANSI E1.20 (RDM) – Part 2, IPv4 & DNS Configuration Messages, provides additional get/set parameter messages (PIDs) for use with the ANSI E1.20 Remote Device Management protocol. Messages in this document are intended for configuring network interfaces and Domain Name System settings on devices with an IPv4 address.
BSR E1.44 – 201x, Common Show File Exchange Format For Entertainment Industry Automation Control Systems – Stage Machinery, defines a common show file format for the exchange of automation control data between control systems by different manufacturers of stage machinery.
These three standards join BSR E1.48 – 201x, A Recommended Luminous Efficiency Function for Stage and Studio Luminaire Photometry, in public review. E1.48 was posted earlier and remains in public review only through Sept. 2, 2013. The document specifies a more accurate luminous efficiency function for light meters, which is particularly important when measuring the light output of RGB LED luminaires.
