GDS Stage Managers Desks GDS took the opportunity to look at how the industry currently approached this complicated piece of equipment and gave a much needed review. As a result we have developed a new approach increasing both sophistication and flexibility. Using innovative materials, GDS has created a user friendly ergonomic design that has raised the bar for SM desk design and construction.

This case study explains the GDS SM desk systems and how to integrate it into existing and new venues. It explains some of the features and benefits of the GDS SM desk as a whole.

System Overview

A typical Layout of a Stage Mangers Desk;

Due to its modular design, every desk differs slightly according to the customers requirements, but always maintains a standardised approach. This results in easily expanding a desk in the future if required. For Example, the CueSystem that is integrated into the SM Desk is modular and can start as small as 4 Channel and be expanded to 8, 12 and upwards depending on case type.

Facilities to Control

Within the GDS SM desk system a large number of facilities can be integrated into a single control platform. The type and number of facilities will depend on which case type is chosen for each project. There are 3 different case types, which are described further into this document along with example layouts of the facilities listed below:

1. Local lighting control (lighting for the operator of the desk).

a. Stalk lights. b. Blue panel lighting (lighting specifically for the control panels). c. White panel lighting (as above). d. Environment lighting (lighting for hazards such as the SM desk stand). e. Digital lighting control and preset storage of levels. f. Digital Playback of stored lighting states for different operators or

circumstances.

2. Remote lighting control (performance or specialist lighting applications). A four channel lighting controller similar to the local lighting control which enables the storage and playback of four presets using four channels of either DMX of Analogue control. This can be used for externally controlling any lighting fixture. Some applications for this include:

a. Controlling the GDS Blues system either directly by using 0-10VDC control straight to the dome or beam, or by DMX through the GDS blue system power supplies.

b. Control of props such as battery lights, radio controlled lighting etc. c. Any DMX lighting.

3. Video (Monitoring of video feeds)

a. 1 to 4 video screens. b. Video control such as brightness, colour and the ability to reverse the video

signal should this be required. c. Video screen power controls d. Composite, PAL/NTSC. e. Analogue or Digital transport.

Case Types

There are in general 3 case types to consider when selecting a GDS SM desk. They are all designed for covering the range of applications within a theatrical space. This may be from small studio control room to a large multiuse venue.

1. Console (Variuos Sizes depending on facilities). Designed primarily as a desk mount unit for use in control rooms or smaller studio spaces and schools. Can be used to complement a larger desk for a rehearsal/second space desk. The console desk comes with Stalk lighting as standard.

2. Type ‘A’. This unit is the most popular choice and comes with uni-polar stand with

locking casters, fiberglass enclosure with 19” facilities and desk storage space. It is compact and lightweight and has been specifically designed for medium to large theatre installations. Being easily removable from the stand, it is suited to control room and Front of house operation.

3. Type ‘B’. This unit is the largest case size and is designed with specific third party

integration in mind, or where there is a requirement for a large number of cue light channels. The enclosure is of high quality ply construction and fits to the same design uni-polar stand offering all the same features as the type ‘A’ enclosure but with more space and depth to install larger pieces of 19” equipment.

A Typical stand Case Type A;

The type ‘A’ Case is ideally suited to Small to medium venues that have up to 12 cue light channels and do not need other third party equipment installed as there is limited depth in the rear of the case. However, the type ‘A’ case is constructed from reinforced fibreglass which makes it extremely light, strong and normally can be lifted from the stand by one person. The compact size makes it appropriate for limited stage wing spaces and control rooms.

A Typical stand with SM Desk Case Type B;

The uni-polar stand design results in a clutter free area around the operator’s legs and feet. Under desk lighting illuminates the stand and floor area greatly reducing the risk of an accident due to collision. The SM desk rotates on the stand with all connections recessed at the rear. These features allow the desk to be installed in very compact areas. Anti rake can also be added should it be required to the stand. The above features are available on both type ‘A’ and ‘B’ cases

A typical case ‘B’ Layout;

The type ‘B’ case offers a larger control area and can accommodate up to 24 cue light channels, additional touch panels for working light controls etc and a further ½ 19” panel section on the right for extra facilities. However, the type ‘B’ case is constructed from marine grade plywood, finished and polished black and is much heavier than the type ‘A’ case. The type ‘B’ case is just as easily removed from the stand for control room or front of house operation although this is a two man lift.

In this example the SM Desk is shown connected to a 19” touring connection unit. For permanent installations, these connections are simply mounted into the wall enclosure within the venue. The above example shows a typical system using analogue cue lights. When using digital cue lights, the VDM connector size can be reduced and nominally uses a 25, 37 or 54 pin multipin, depending on functionality required.

Standardised Panels

The GDS SM desk panels can be broken down as follows: Lighting Panel:

The lighting panel is a 1U panel that controls the desk lighting. The desk lighting is broken down into 4 sections; under desk, stalks and blue and white panel lighting. These lighting levels can be digitally stored for recall by different operators if required using the preset recall buttons In addition to the local lighting control, a further lighting control is often added that can control the GDS Blues System around the venue. This is achieved via either an analogue or DMX signal which runs from the GDS SM desk to the GDS blues system power supply:

GDS recommends that the master station in the venue is not installed in the SM Desk console as often if the desk gets disconnected or moved to another location, the intercom system will not function. However, if required the master station can be integrated in the SM Desk console, but the case type may have to be changed to accommodate the depth.

Cue Light Panel The cue light panel provides red/green light cueing in the field and comes as modular 4 way panels. These 4 way panels are then installed to make up the required number of cue light channels. A 19” panel will cater for 4,8 or 12 channels. If more are required, case type ‘B’ can then go up to 24 channels.

An analogue cue light example;

As the number of channels increase using an analogue system, the number of connections rise in the connection loom and larger systems can end up with very bulky looms. GDS recommends that larger cue lights systems use the digital or TCP-IP system as savings will be made from the connection loom and building infrastructure costs.
