###b###Cockpit workspace###/b###
Listed equipment is operating from a dedicated space on a table/desk to comfortably arrange all machinery.
All audio/video cables start from this place. A long VGA cable is needed to connect the MacBook (B) to the projector via Apple VGA Adapter.
Firewire, Ethernet and power cables are provided by the artists.
Three (nr.3) 4.5m FireWire Active Extension Cable + one (nr.1) FireWire Cable (6 Pin Male to 4 Pin Male) are available to connect the DV Camcorder to the MacBook (B).
Both laptops are connected via OSC (Open Sound Control) through an Ethernet switch.
The various signal sources have balanced signals with TRS and XLR outputs, but be prepared for the need of all kinds of adaptors, DI-boxes and voltage converter.
