11、ESTA Technical Standards Program was created to serve the ESTA membership and the entertainment industry in technical standards related matters. The goal of the Program is to take a leading role regarding technology within the entertainment industry by creating recommended practices and standards, m
12、onitoring standards issues around the world on behalf of our members, and improving communications and safety within the industry. ESTA works closely with the technical standards efforts of other organizations within our industry, including USITT, PLASA, and VPLT, as well as representing the interes
13、ts of ESTA members to ANSI, UL, and the NFPA. The Technical Standards Program is accredited by the American National Standards Institute. The Technical Standards Committee (TSC) was established by ESTAs Board of Directors to oversee and coordinate the Technical Standards Program. Made up of individu
14、als experienced in standards-making work from throughout our industry, the Committee approves all projects undertaken and assigns them to the appropriate working group. The Technical Standards Committee employs a Technical Standards Manager to coordinate the work of the Committee and its working gro
15、ups as well as maintain a “Standards Watch” on behalf of members. Working groups include: Camera Cranes, Control Protocols, Electrical Power, Floors, Fog and Smoke, Followspot Position, Photometrics, and Rigging. ESTA encourages active participation in the Technical Standards Program. There are seve
16、ral ways to become involved. If you would like to become a member of an existing working group, as have over two hundred people, you must complete an application which is available from the ESTA office. Your application is subject to approval by the working group and you will be required to actively
17、 participate in the work of the group. This includes responding to letter ballots and attending meetings. Membership in ESTA is not a requirement. You can also become involved by requesting that the TSC develop a standard or a recommended practice in an area of concern to you. The Control Protocols
18、Working Group, which authored this Standard, consists of a cross section of entertainment industry professionals representing a diversity of interests. ESTA is committed to developing consensus-based standards and recommended practices in an open setting. Future Control Protocols Working Group proje
19、cts will include updating this publication as changes in technology and experience warrant, as well as developing new standards and recommended practices for the benefit of the entertainment industry.

47、Abstract This EPI defines protocol specific extensions to Device Description Language for describing DMX devices. Foreword ACN EPIs E1.17-200x is the “ESTA Architecture for Control Networks” standard ACN. It specifies an architecture including a suite of protocols and languages that may be configure
48、d and combined with other standard protocols in a number of ways to form flexible networked control systems. E1.17 Profiles for Interoperability (EPIs) are standards documents that specify how conforming implementations are to operate in a particular environment or situation in order to guarantee in
49、teroperability. They may specify a single technique, set of parameters or requirement for the various ACN components. They may also specify how other standards (including other EPIs) either defined within ACN or externally are to be used to ensure interoperability. 1 Introductory Discussion 1.1 DMX512 In the years since its introduction in 1986, USITT DMX512 (often referred to as DMX512 or just DMX) has spread from its initial remit of providing simple level control to dim
