ERLANGEN, Germany — The Markgrafentheater here has installed a stage management system from the Salzbrenner Stagetec Mediagroup as part of a recent equipment upgrade. New components include a PerformanCeTRL controller and a DELEC CS 1624 intercom matrix from the company’s oratis compact range. The systems were installed within three months. They are currently being used to support the Bayerische Theatertage festival, which runs from May 16-31.
More details from Salzbrenner Stagetec Mediagroup (www.stagetec.com):
The PerformanCeTRL controller from the MEDIAGROUP Audio Video Mediensysteme division and a DELEC CS 1624 intercom matrix from the oratis compact range form the heart of this stage management system. Both systems are linked via an Ethernet connection and work seamlessly in tandem. The compact CS 1624 intercom matrix is the communication centre of the new stage management system and also serves as a digital audio matrix. Among other things, PerformanCeTRL manages the sequence of logic operations that control call announcements and cue lights.
Seven DELEC subscriber panels are included in the overall system. Of these, six are distributed throughout the theatre and one is installed within the stage management desk.
Intercom system functions can be assigned to the subscriber panel buttons. This allows signalling to be controlled from each subscriber unit. Apart from the intercom and paging system, the stage manager at the Markgrafentheater can also use both fixed and mobile cue lights as a means of communication.
