• Configured Control for Live Events:
Drew Taylor of High Resolution Systems, will present on new generation control systems for live events that now allow the user to quickly navigate the user interface that hides nothing and allows the user to view, edit, and have full control and flexibility of their control system. So a “configured control system” is now within reach of the average stager. How do they work? And how do these new generation “device controllers” fit in with the “content” controllers like Dataton, Barco, Spyder, etc? New tools give the stager a graphical interface and the ability to configure in real time– a big step forward.
Kevin Denzel, Technical Director at Swank Audio Visual, Southern Division, will present Nov. 28th, samples of his work using LD Assistant, with a focus on CAD and packaging workflow. At the Roadshow Orlando, Kevin showed multiple examples of how LD Assistant can be used as a Technical and Sales tool. By using pre-visualizations it offers the opportunity to give an event setup a virtual “test-drive” before finalizing all details. Using LD Assistant Kevin can create a diagram complete to scale and identify any areas of concern, create diagrams and plots that help the event setup process, and ultimately show a client what to expect for their event with the pre-visualization and pre-planning involved in his role with Swank Audio Visuals. Denzel will present on this topic at the Nov. 28th Roadshow in D.C.
• Live Event Design & Pre-Visualization:
Kevin Denzel, Technical Director at Swank Audio Visual, Southern Division, will present samples of his work using LD Assistant, with a focus on CAD and packaging workflow.
