Plans for the Stage Managers Panel

Our stage manager panel consists of three different Sections.  Image below is the SMP 1B.  Two arms that will extend off the wall to hold our video monitor and our 20U rack that will hold the cue light control panel, the sound mixer, monitor speakers, Clearcom base station, CD burner, DVD burner, ETC Network hub and our paging system mixer.   

The picture on top of the image below is my attempt at a 3d version of our desk sitting below the SMP 1b rack. to the right of that is the wall mounted SMP 1a and the SMP 1c.  SMP 1a & b will be made by ETC and the SMP 1c will be made by Stagecraft.  1C will control all of the motors With a new 10 inch LCD Screen.   Should be pretty nice
Here is the layout on the wall.
If it works out it will be amazing.  Unfortunately that clock above is ticking away and all the contractors are beginning to freak a little as they see the hand keeps on moving.
Honestly one thing that has been very difficult about this project is language.  It seems that since the electrical company speaks electrics and we in theater also speak electrics it is kind of like we all English speakers but one set of us is living in London and the the other set of us is living in New york.  We all think we know what the other person is saying but in the end we don't seem to understand the cultural difference.

Good thing we all speak electrics ; )
