A very few past and current projects from Engineering Arts are listed here:
City Theatrical Autoyoke: Engineering Arts designed all custom electronics and software for this ground breaking product.
ADB Lighting Motorised Warp Spotlight: The first ever theatrical moving light with true networking capability, Engineering Arts designed the networking and supervisory electronics and software. Using uClinux, the luminaire supports multiple networking protocols and has its own webserver providing remote configuration and diagnostics as well as browser based upgrades. Allowing control over both DMX-512 and Ethernet it is ready for almost any TCP/IP based control protocol including ACN.
Strand Lighting Palette Consoles: Engineering Arts designed user interface electronics and embedded firmware for these consoles which won “Lighting Product of the Year” award at the 2006 ABTT Show in London. This contribution was acknowledged by David Catterall of Strand in his speech accepting the award: “Our software and hardware design teams led by Richard Lawrence and Philip Nye [Engineering Arts] have done a great job and we are all pleased to bring these products to the market”.
Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC) Engineering Arts has provided advice and resources for networking projects within ETC.
Architecture for Control Networks (ACN): Engineering Arts have been major contributors to ESTA's ACN project for several years. Principal consultant Dr Philip Nye is very actively involved in all aspects of this project and is chief author of the Device Description Language an XML based framework with the ambitious target of describing network controllable devices to allow high levels of controllability form a generic controller with no pre-knowledge of that device.
