"Automated Lighting" A good Book to read

Post by Mattotone »

Automated Lighting: The Art and Science of Moving Light in Theatre, Live Performance, Broadcast, and Entertainment

This is an excellent book, that covers practically everything you need to know about Automated Lighting.
A great read.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Automated-Light ... 0240807030

Synopsis
"Automated LightingTechnology, Applications, and Design" is a comprehensive text covering everything you will need to know as a working or aspiring lighting professional about automated lighting fixtures, systems, how they are used and design issues you will face. It is written in clear, easy-to-understand language but includes enough detailed information that the most experienced technician and engineer will appreciate and benefit from reading. Subjects covered include the history of automated lighting, DC and AC electricity, basic electronics, power supplies, digital electronics, electro-mechanical systems, optical systems (including dichroic filters, reflectors, lenses, and more), lamp technology, lighting effects (including color mixing, glass gobos, and more), data distribution systems, DMX, RDM, and ACN. State-of-the-art automated lighting fixtures in various applications including theatre, television, concert/touring, and permanent installations are discussed and special design issues are addressed. The text is amply illustrated with drawings and pictures. The newest technology in automated lighting - "digital" lighting or pixel-based automated lighting projection - is also covered in detail. This book is the antithesis of a reference manual or user manual. It is entertaining and educational with lots of graphic illustrations and easy-to-understand concepts. Its the most fun you can have without sitting behind a console. It contains numerous examples and illustrations. It is easy to read with little tech-talk. It also contains information on the newest lighting technology. Minimal amount of math reduces the drudgery!
