 Operation Systems
|
| Operation system is a highly specialized technical area, requiring a thorough understanding of stage and event needs. Particular attention is focused on human interface, to help ensure that the stage equipment operates according to the intentions of the stage production. Sansei operation systems incorporate a growing list of standard features, including: touch panels, joy sticks and other easy-to-use components, to enable easy checking and input; and CRT screens that visually show operating conditions such as current position, speed, and operation status. |
| These features enable simple, clear-cut operation, with a hands-on feel comparable to conventional manual operation, where equipment status can be well understood visually. Specification of equipment operation is made simple, accurate and safe, with entire-scene programming, data exchange and editing, the ability to temporarily skip over pre-programmed operations, and a whole host of other manual operations. |

Control Systems
|
|
Control systems are designed to ensure that stage equipment operates as requested, based on operation system data. Digitalized technology is currently the most popular way of enabling subtle and accurate control. Digitalization has developed to the point where today it allows operators to move Rigging System battens in a smooth, "human" way, as if they were being moved by hand. Another benefit of computer control is that multiple pieces of equipment can be operated simultaneously. Also variety of valuable information is available at the touch of a button - the details of any trouble that may occur can be displayed and usage frequency for each individual unit and other maintenance management data can be recorded and printed out. As for the hardware, modern battens and stage elevators are capable of handling many times the load of conventional systems. They also afford quicker operation and seamless control. |
