Control Protocols, Fog, and Photometrics Standards Available for Public Review
ANSI E1.3-2001, Entertainment Technology-Lighting Control Systems-0 to 10V Analog Control Specification, is being considered for reaffirmation without any changes. ANSI E1.3-2001 is approaching its fifth birthday and action needs to be taken to keep the document active and in the ANSI catalog. The standard has been useful as a lowest common denominator control method for connecting a variety of controllers and controlled products. No one makes a big deal about
> analog control, but it is still being used on new and custom products. The public review response form is available at http://www.esta.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php. The standard that is the subject of the review is the existing ANSI E1.3 standard, which is available for sale at its regular price. Information about purchasing it is available at http://www.esta.org/tsp/documents/published_docs.php.
ANSI E1.14-2001, Entertainment Technology-Recommendations for Inclusions in Fog Equipment Manuals, is being considered for reaffirmation without any changes. ANSI E1.14-2001 is approaching its fifth birthday and action needs to be taken to keep the document active and in the ANSI catalog. So far, it has been a useful guidance document for specifying what information fog equipment manufacturers need to give equipment users and for telling end-users what information they should expect to receive so they can use the equipment in a safe and responsible manner. The public review response form is available at http://www.esta.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php. The standard that is the subject of the review is the existing ANSI E1.14-2001, which is available for free on the ESTA website at http://www.esta.org/tsp/documents/published_docs.php.
BSR E1.9-200x, Reporting Photometric Performance Data for Luminaires Used in Entertainment Lighting, is a revised version of the existing ANSI E1.9-2001. The standard is approaching its fifth birthday and action needs to be taken to keep the document active, but the existing standard has not been used widely because it has a great number of requirements. It is hoped that by removing some of the non-essential requirements, the benefits of the isolux diagram, which is the heart of the standard, may be enjoyed by more lighting designers, and by more stage and studio luminaire renters and purchasers. The public review response form and the revised draft standard, which is free, are available at http://www.esta.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php.
