ILDA Laser Theater -- Technical requirements

ILDA will produce a Laser Theater for the benefit of LDI attendees at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, during LDI and IAAPA. The theater will operate daily from 10 am to 6 pm on Friday and Saturday, and until show closing on Sunday at 4 pm.

Sponsoring Producers for the room are Tom Harman of LaserNet and Greg Makhov of LSDI. ILDA is looking for volunteers to help setup, run, and teardown the room; if you can help, please contact Patrick Murphy.

The information below is preliminary as of July 12 and is subject to change. Please contact LaserNet or LSDI if you need more up-to-date information.

Laser system

The laser system will consist of at least four laser projectors to provide graphics, beams, and audience scanning atmospheric effects. All projectors will be controlled by Showtime. The Pangolin systems will also source the audio to the sound reinforcement system, and may provide DMX control for room lighting.

PLAYBACK NOTE: For maximum efficiency, we will record laser signals from non-Pangoin systems, onto Showtime. For most systems, there is no visual or artistic difference between digital signal recording in this way, and direct output from the source system. If an ILDA Member feels their laser playback system has special requirements, we will work to accomodate these requests. The Member may need to provide a playback system and an operator.

Audience scanning

Audience scanning shows are permitted. Because we are using an FDA/CDRH approved system for audience scanning, ILDA Members may submit these types of shows. However, due to the FDA/CDRH requirements, beam power and brightness in the audience area may be dimmer than shows done outside the U.S.
 

Room configuration

Due to the small size of the room, and the need for restricted areas for audience scanning, graphics will be front projected on a screen at one end of the room. Beam projectors will be located on either side of the screen, slaved together with mirror image operation. The atmospheric/audience scanning projector will be located on a truss above the screen.

System specifications:
Stereo Audio via USB audio device
Stereo D/I box
Hazer - Neutron Hazer (LeMaitre)
Ambient Lighting - NEED DONATION SUCH AS: 8 DMX RGB Wall washers (eg: colorblast)
Sound - NEED DONATION SUCH AS: Stereo 2 or 3-way system ~ 1000 Watts
