Our student tech staff fluctuates between 12-16 people. Shifts is quite limited so I only use it to communicate the shift name, when the shift is and what type of shift if it. We do green for load in, B]blue for event, red for load out and purple for other – meetings, shop, office, training. The students have all found their preferred way…

Sounds like we have had a lot of the same/similar experiences. I have consolidated to two ecosystems – neither are perfect but its the best compromise Ive found.

Under the idea of buy once, cry once- Im going to recommend the SC90 from Sightline.? When we purchased ours 20 years ago, it was owned by Staging Concepts.?

Chris is 100% spot on.? I’ll add that we are currently in the works of updating our main venue as well.? It’s a divisible ballroom that is getting some good upgrades.? Control and Video distribution will be Crestron/NVX, live streaming is NDI and audio is mostly Dante with a splash of QLAN.? All of which will be on the campus network… Read more
