Live Design International (LDI) 2024

Come to this session if you want to learn about working with Augment3d, a suite of tools which adds a 3D programming and visual environment to the Eos Family of consoles, as well as Eos Software on Mac and PC.

With Augment3d, you can control your rig directly on your console, or from a tethered graphics-centric computer. You can even focus lights, preview your lighting looks in 3D space, and control your rig from your phone using augmented reality. Taught on the new Eos Apex console, this class takes you through getting Augment3d operational, introduces you to 3D environments and Augment3d zones, and how to build and use a model and lighting rig.

You’ll also learn about the Augment3d Scanner App and how it can make simple room-scanning a breeze.
Using your phone or tablet’s built-in AR tools, you’ll be able to instantly create a functional working model of your space – complete with floor, ceiling, walls, doors, windows, and proscenium so that you can start placing lights in Augment3d within minutes of walking in the door.

Prerequisites: Attendee should have a solid programming foundation with an Eos family lighting console. Level 1 – 3 are highly recommended before taking an introduction to Augment3d. Online classes are available at: https://learningstage.etcconnect.com/

Designed to parallel SPRAT’s existing rope access certification program, the work-at-height program establishes a certification with performance-based criteria to ensure a baseline minimum of skills for the use of personal fall protection systems. RIG will provide the training and host the Evaluation session. Candidates who successfully complete the evaluation will receive a certificate issued by the SPRAT office and valid for 3 years.

Regarding the SPRAT Work-at-Height Certification Program, information can be found here:

The target audience is beginner to intermediate engineers.

A fast-paced dive into one of the most versatile and powerful effects engines on the market. Gain in-depth understanding of how the Eos effect engine “thinks” so that you can quickly and accurately create desired effects the first time.

This session is for programmers who are already very familiar with Eos family consoles. You’ll be expected to know how to quickly navigate the system, create snapshots, groups, palettes, and cues. You should also be familiar with the basic syntax of building effects at a basic level from the Level 1 and Level 2 classes.

This half-day class will use Vectorworks Spotlight to create and manage lighting plots. It is a shorter version of Spotlight tools for Vectorworks Users, focusing on lighting designs and excluding some scenic and AV elements. Topics include inserting lights, Spotlight numbering, DMX addressing, creating Instrument Schedules, and publishing light plots.
Target Audience: Lighting designers, electricians, board operators, and lighting design educators (anyone who needs to make light plots).

Prerequisites: THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER CLASS. Attendees must have a basic understanding of Vectorworks or have attended the Vectorworks Training Introduction to Core Concepts and must know the basics of creating light plots on paper or within another CAD system.

We also recommend taking the Getting Started seminar, and completing the Core Certification Course online.

Eos Expansion Processing allows users to add processors to their session, to increase session output above the Primary’s license. Expansion Processing is a mode that certain devices will be allowed to boot into (like Backup, Client, etc.). When prepping for a show using Expansion Processing, there are session rules and/or networking requirements that need to be followed. Learn about supported network topologies and devices, rules for Eos Family devices that support Expansion Processing, and session capacities.
