[SML] The future of luminaires

[Kim Hartshorn]

I believe that within 10 years the stage luminaire of choice will be a
video projector...it already seems to be the case for opening ceremonies.
In addition to images, projectors can do patterns, infinite color,
customizeable cuts and edges, zooms and fades, do not really need to be
focused at the truss...can move with the performer either mechanically or
through a moving image and the images themselves can be mapped.  The prices
for video projector technology has been dropping exponentially.  I really
think the LED analog of an ERS is only going to be a short-lived chapter.
The media server will replace the light desk and dimmer sooner than we may
anticipate.
