ANSI E1.1 - 2012 Entertainment Technology - Construction and Use of Wire Rope Ladders |
ANSI E1.1 - 2012 describes the construction and use of wire rope ladders in the entertainment industry. It is a revision of the 2006 standard to raise the load rating to accomodate heavier workers. Wire rope ladders are distinguished from other ladders by having flexible rails, and are used in applications where ladders with rigid rails are impractical to use, or where a rigid ladder would pose a greater danger to the user or other workers in the area. |

ANSI E1.3 - 2001 (R2011) Entertainment Technology - Lighting Control Systems - 0 to 10V Analog Control Specification |
ANSI E1.3, Entertainment Technology - Lighting Control Systems - 0 to 10V Analog Control Specification, describes a method of controlling equipment by means of an analog control voltage in the nominal range from zero to 10 volts positive, with the controller sourcing the signal current. It is primarily intended for lighting control equipment (controllers and dimmers), but anything that might be controlled by a lighting controller (automated luminaires, strobe lights, fog machines, et cetera) could use this control method, and many do. This edition is a reaffirmation of the previous edition. It contains no substantive changes. |

It can be implemented on networks that support UDP, IP, and related protocols. It is not bound to Ethernet as a transport medium, but Ethernet is an obvious choice. ACN is being distributed via download as a ZIPped archive of 17 PDFs and a directory of related DDL files as DDL and HTML. The "hardcopy" is a CDROM. There is no paper version.

ANSI E1.20 - 2010 Entertainment Technology-RDM-Remote Device Management over USITT DMX512 Networks |
ANSI E1.20 - 2010, Entertainment Technology-RDM-Remote Device Management over USITT DMX512 Networks, describes a method of bi-directional communications over a USITT DMX512/1990 or ANSI E1.11 - 2004 data link between an entertainment lighting controller and one or more remotely controlled lighting devices. The protocol was written to work with the ANSI E1.11-2004 control standard, but will work equally well with the current 2009 version of E1.11. It allows discovery of devices on a DMX512/E1.11 network and the remote setting of DMX starting addresses, as well as status and fault reporting back to the control console.
The 2010 edition corrects errors in the 2006 edition, and adds a new message to say that a previously reported problem has been cleared. The 2010 edition is bookmarked for easier use. |

ANSI E1.35 - 2013 Standard for Lens Quality Measurements for Pattern Projecting Luminaires Intended for Entertainment Use |
ANSI E1.35 describes a method for measuring stage and studio luminaire lens quality with particular emphasis on contrast and perceived image quality (sharpness). It also offers a way for presenting these results on a datasheet in a format that is readily understood by a typical end-user and that allows the end-user to directly compare lenses in a meaningful way. Without this standard, there is no way to describe how clearly a stage lighting instrument projects an image, other than by showing a person with the actual instrument and gobo.
The download is a ZIP file that includes an EPS graphic file of the test pattern in three common gobo sizes. |

ANSI E1.36 – 2007 (R2012) Model Procedure for Permitting the Use of Tungsten-Halogen Incandescent Lamps and Stage and Studio Luminaires in Vendor Exhibit Booths in Convention and Trade Show Exhibition Halls |
This document has been written to offer a model set of procedures that can be used by convention center and trade show exhibition hall staff to mitigate the risks perceived to be associated with the use of tungsten-halogen lamps and stage and studio luminaires. This policy applies to all luminaires that use tungsten-halogen lamps and to all stage and studio luminaires being used by vendors to provide illumination or to create effects with light in exhibit booths at convention centers or trade shows. |

ANSI E1.37-1 – 2012 Additional Message Sets for ANSI E1.20 (RDM) – Part 1, Dimmer Message Sets |
ANSI E1.37-1 -2012, Additional Message Sets for ANSI E1.20 (RDM) – Part 1, is part of the E1.37 project, and provides additional get/set parameter messages (PIDs). Most of the messages in this document are intended for use with entertainment lighting dimming systems. These additional messages allow access to configuration parameters commonly found in many theatrical dimming systems. |

ANSI E1.41 - 2012 Recommendations for Measuring and Reporting Photometric Performance Data for Entertainment Luminaires Utilizing Solid State Light Sources |
ANSI E1.41 - 2012, Recommendations for Measuring and Reporting Photometric Performance Data for Entertainment Luminaires Utilizing Solid State Light Sources, offers recommendations for measuring and reporting the output of LED luminaires used in the live entertainment industry. This industry needs unusually precise color and color rendering characterization, which this document provides. Current methods for luminaire output measurement assume the use of broad-band emitters, which LEDs are not, and do not deal well with characterizing the intensely colored light LEDs can produce. The standard uses the CQS color rendering quality scale developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. |

Introduction to Modern Atmospheric Effects, 4th edition |
The Introduction to Modern Atmospheric Effects, 4th edition is a revised version of the popular handbook on theatrical fogs. Illustrated and with more than twice as many pages as the first and second editions, the book gives the entertainment industry a factual presentation on all types of popular atmospheric fog effects. The section on using fog offers tips on putting fog where it will do the most good, lighting it effectively, working with fire alarms, and limiting exposure. The relative advantages and disadvantages of using time/distance tables and aerosol meters to assure that exposure limits are not exceeded are discussed. |

Recommended Practice for DMX512: A guide for users and installers, 2nd edition |
Recommended Practice for DMX512: A guide for users and installers, second edition, by Adam Bennette adds information
about ANSI E1.11 (DMX512-A) and ANSI E1.20 (RDM) to the information about USITT's DMX512 that was offered in Bennette's original, popular Recommended Practice for DMX512. This updated edition offers
advice intended to help people successfully install and use DMX512-A and RDM equipment. The document is a PLASA/USITT recommended practice, not an ANSI, USITT, or PLASA standard, but it is being offered as an educational service to the industry.

ESTA_Boilerplate_For_Specifiers.txt |
ESTA_Boilerplate_For_Specifiers.txt provides cut-and-paste text as a convenience for people writing specifications and wishing to reference in those specifications standards developed in ESTA's Technical Standards Program. Use of this text will reduce the probability of undesired equipment or installation practices being offered in response to a bid or a call for proposals because a standard describing the equipment or installation practice was referenced imprecisely. This document of recommended cut-and-paste text will be revised as new standards are published and older ones are revised or reaffirmed, and as better text specifying the standards is written. |
