Tiivistelmä
Networks used in live events have been undergoing a rapid change over the recent years. As a result, the number of networks that are being implemented in the live event industry has been increasing constantly. Almost every sound, video and lighting equipment used in the industry is network capable nowadays.
Different technologies have been created specifically for the live event industry, but many have been borrowed from other industries such as the networking protocols and standards. This thesis explores the network fundamental theory and revises four entertainment control systems that have been implemented in the live event field.
The purpose of this thesis is to present the protocols, standards and the technology that is used in networking to the technicians that are starting to work with networks in the live event industry. The control systems taken as practical cases for this thesis explain the needs, challenges and results of working with net-works from the point of view of the professionals that designed, programmed and operated the networks. Their perspective and comments reassure that the live event industry will keep using networks. Networks make live event technology more versatile and reliable.
