Whether theater or opera house, concert hall or musical theater, convention center or cruise ship: with a PC-based control solution from Beckhoff, all technical systems of stationary stage performances can be integrated on one platform. The integrated technology enhances moving objects (stage machinery, chain hoists, winches, kinetic objects and animated figures), lighting technology (stage lighting, lighting effects, hall and building lights), AV and media technology (audio and video installations, the stage management console, interactions and water effects) as well as building automation (lighting, operating and monitoring, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, facade control and energy data acquisition). Control applications implemented worldwide with PC-based control in all areas of stationary stage technology demonstrate Beckhoff's well-founded industry know-how.
