Preamble

With our this year's assembly we celebrated our 10th anniversary. Around 20 people made their way to K14 in Berlin, our tradition club.

At the first day it was raining cats and dogs, but Wolfgang brought his own sum with him, which obviously motivated the real sun to shine more - but that wasn't our intention, so we used unfair methods (curtains) to keep it out of the building.


Tag 1 (Mittwoch)

As we were afraid of the time because of the planned open house, the first people arrived at wednesday, so they could start preparation early. So we had enough time to get to know Moritz, who programmed the Raspberry Pi based Beamertool. Maik prepared some Raspperries as Hoc was planning a show with it.

Tag 2 (Donnerstag)

Final stage with our equippment
Height adjustment of a videoprojector
fineadjustment of the lightshow; or banner is used as screen for the Beamertool
Height adjustment version 2
Question: What's that?(Solution: Filename)
Stefan's LED-Matrix, at 10 % brightness
Hoc looks at his present

The day started building up our stuff at the stage. Our FOH had a width of four metres and - as it included a digital audio desk, a video desk, four computers for lighting and one light desk - looked quite professional.

At stage we placed five video projectors. Each one had an Art-Net controlled Rasperry Pi placed directly behind it.

Late afternoon Frank opened the assembly, supported by a video message from Arne and a video review from Marten. All three reminded us at the great activities of the last ten years. In his talk »history in mind - future in focus« Arne draw a great future for the project. Frank drew our focus to the early beginning of DMXControl with the Hosh- and Albatros-Show, and was exited to hopefully see an at least linear increase in profesionality.

In the evening, Stefan K. held a presentation with his LED matrix based on WS2812-LED-Stripes. The matrix is controlled by a self written Art-Node with Art-Net from DMXControl (or other matrix software), and consists of 594 RGB LEDs (33 x 18 pixels), so uses nearly four DMX Universes.

Julien presented his developed RGB Lamp with DMX, USB and Bluetooth connectivity. Currently the price is a little high, but components are getting cheaper by time.

Tom from Salzburg (our guest from far away) brought a OLA-installation with him and presented it to us. He sadly pointed out, that the DE-Interface and Noodle aren't supported, and maybe he will bild up a DMX Community in Austria.
