Live Design International (LDI) 2021

This course provides basic lightshow safety training for those working around lasers or those who are operating lasers for lightshows and displays. Successful completion of this course provides an ILDA Laser Operator certificate of attendance.

This course covers laser shows only - no medical, industrial, or other non-lightshow laser usage. While European and international regulations are discussed, the majority of the regulatory discussion will be around laser and aviation issues in the United States. To take this course, attendees must have prior laser experience or must have taken ILDA's Laser Operator Safety course.

Passing the test in this course provides an ILDA LSO for U.S. Lightshows certificate.

It's easy enough to run an extension cord to power an audio console, video projector, or lighting instrument, but it is safe and reliable? Given the way we toss around our portable power distribution equipment, the way we throw it into a road case, run it along the ground and step on it, run over it with forklifts and golf carts, and leave it outside to bake in the sun, there are usually weaknesses waiting to become major problems.

But we can get ahead of potential problems by learning to spot those weaknesses using the right tools for the job and by monitoring the system during operation. This one-day class is designed to walk through best practices for setting up and monitoring portable power distribution systems so they are safe and reliable.

A four-hour exploration of the differences between hardware and software pixel-mapping and how to control LED with video or DMX.

With a technical hands-on setup we will experience:

• Ways and protocols to control LED
• Codecs and color Spaces
• Dynamics and limitations of LED-systems
• Hardware Pixel Mappers, Media Servers, Lighting Consoles
• Content creation and content modification in technical consent

This intensive will enable the participants, to specify, to plan and to create technical setups of LED-Systems.
