Encyclopedia of TV station studio lighting system equipment terms

The terminology of the lighting system equipment of the TV station studio should be familiar and understood by the engineer or lighting engineer, so as to ensure the smooth installation of the lighting system equipment and the safety and quality of the pass. The studio construction is not difficult, but the lighting system equipment and materials are somewhat difficult to purchase, especially the suspension device, electric horizontal boom, driving track, sound insulation, dimming controller, integrated wiring, etc. have special requirements.

Constant force anklet

Rigging device:

Electric or manual device for hanging lamps or scenery.

Lift device:

A special hoist device capable of raising and lowering lamps or scenery.

Motorized horizontal bar:

The lifting device is installed on the lighting equipment layer and separated from the light (scene) pole, and is an electric lifting device connected by a steel wire rope or a steel belt.

Motorized frame:

The lifting device is installed on the lighting equipment layer and separated from the light (scene) hanger, and is an electric lifting device connected by a steel wire rope or a steel belt.

Self-climb motorized bar:

The lifting device and the boom are combined into an integrated electric lifting device.

Vertical bar:

The lifting device is installed on the lighting equipment layer and separated from the light pole, equipped with a retractor-guided lifting device.

Manual vertical bar:

Equipped with a manual lifting device guided by a retractor.

Hinge hoist:

A hinge device is used as a retractor, a vertical boom that can be raised and lowered and walked horizontally.

Single point hoist:

An electric lifting device for hanging the scenery or lamps with a hanging point. Multiple single-point hoists and aluminum alloy truss (hanging) frame can be combined into different hanging methods.

Motorized travelling trolley:

A lifting device that walks horizontally on the set track.

Rigging control console (box, box):

The operation console (box, box) that controls the suspension device and mechanical lamps and lanterns to complete various corresponding actions.

Rigging control cabinet:

Controlled by the lighting console (box, box), the hanging device and mechanical lights are made of various mechanical actions.

Driving track rail:

Provide horizontal walking and guiding track for electric driving.

Fixed rail:

Provide slide rails or rails under which lamps slide.

Slide rail:

A track that slides under a fixed track. Can be used to install lamps with a trolley.

Constant-force hoist:

The spring device is used to balance the gravity of the lamp, and the lamp can be positioned at any height.

Universal jointer:

A coupling that allows the slide rail to slide freely on the fixed rail.

Automatic cable lifting equipment:

It is a device that can automatically retract and unwind the cable and move up and down synchronously with the boom.

Motorized light:

Through electric control, the corresponding action lamps can be realized.

Pole operated light:

Manually controlled by the operating lever to achieve the corresponding action of the lamp.

Dimmer dimmer:

Under the action of signal control, an electronic device that changes the brightness of the light.

Dimmer cabinet:

A cabinet assembled with multiple dimmers.

Dimming console:

A workbench that outputs control signals to the dimmer to control the brightness of the light and special effects.

Top grid of lighting equipment layer:

The upper part of the studio is a dedicated working floor for installing lighting equipment.

Lighting control signal cabinet:

Equipment cabinets used for signal amplification, isolation, distribution, switching and other functions.

Lighting control network:

The lighting control network adopts the international industry standard network protocol architecture.

DMX512:

An asynchronous serial data transmission protocol for controlling lighting systems and ancillary equipment.
