Stage Technologies Cruise with Queen Victoria
Stage Technologies will supply and install the complete stage automation system. This will be the first non Princess ship to be fitted with Stage Technologies second generation BigTow 2 winches and TanJent guidance system, which guides a fly bar through its travel from the upper to lower limit, not just the top half of the travel as often seen on board ships.
The stage will be equipped with two scenery elevators, each fitted with sliding traps to close the opening when the elevators are lowered to the storage area below stage. Serapid tracks in the stage floor will be used for moving scenic items horizontally across and up/down stage. Stage Technologies contract also includes catwalks, lighting trusses and fixed lighting grids.
The automation control system will include an Acrobat control console with Chameleon application software, as well as the latest generation Solo hand held controllers. The position control system will use MaxisID, the latest generation of technology developed jointly by Stage Technologies and Siemens.
Cunard's website describes the Royal Court Theatre: "three impressive storeys and elegant private boxes create a uniquely glamorous venue, perfect for the gleaming line-up of star performances".
Stage Technologies has provided over 25 automation systems for cruise ships over the last 10 years.
