USITT Lighting Terms
Adapter - ANS-Electrical accent that transitions among dissimilar connectors; may be a molded
unit, box, or cable meeting
Amperes - ANS-Unit of measure for the quantity of energy flowing in a conductor.
Automated Luminaire (Moving Light) - ANS-Lighting tool with attributes that are remotely
managed.
Backlight - ANS-A lighting source that is at the back of the expertise or challenge from the
visitors attitude.
Balcony Rail - ANS-Lighting position established in the front of or at the face of the balcony.
Bare End - ANS-An electric cable and not using a plug connector
Barndoor - ANS-Device that attaches to the front of a luminaire that allows for beam shaping
through blocking off the beam of mild
Beam Angle - ANS-When the beam of mild (lumens or foot-candles) is as a minimum 50 % of
most depth
Blackout - ANS-The general absence of light on stage or set
Boom - ANS-Freestanding help for gadget
Boom Arm - ANS-Horizontal pipe connected to a vertical increase
Boom Base - ANS-Bottom member of a increase that spreads the weight over a much wider
location and affords an anchor to the floor conserving the boom in a vertical role
Box Booms - ANS-Hanging positions established inside the house on the side walls or seating
containers of the theater.
Break In - ANS-Adapter consisting of multiple plugs (M) stressed out to a single multipin (FM)
connector; can be a field or a cable assembly.
Break-Out - ANS-Adapter together with a couple of receptacles (FM) stressed out to a
unmarried multipin (M) connector; can be a container or a cable meeting.
Burn Out - ANS-Failed lamp or color media this is burned thru
, Channel - ANS-Specific control parameter encompassing single or multiple device attributes
(lights dimmers, audio signals, and so forth.) managed as a unit
Channel Hookup - ANS-Paperwork designating the connection of dimmer circuits to channels of
manipulate
Circuit - ANS-Path for electricity to waft from the source, thru a conductor, to a tool(s)
Circuit Breaker - ANS-Mechanical/Electrical tool this is designed to mechanically open (ride) if
the modern-day exceeds the rated degree protective the circuit; may be operated manually
Color Extender - ANS-Top hat with coloration media holder
Color Frame - ANS-Metal or warmth-resistant tool that holds the color media in front of a
luminaire.
Color Media - ANS-Translucent fabric used to coloration mild
Company Switch - ANS-Electrical panel with disconnecting way for the deliver of good sized
amounts of electrical electricity to transportable system.
Conducter - ANS-Material thru which power will float
Cue Light - ANS-Light managed from the stage supervisor's station to signal actors or group
Cyclorama Light - ANS-Non-lensed luminaire with an asymmetrical reflector, normally used for
lighting backdrops.
Deck Electrician - ANS-Performance team managing operation of lighting fixtures and other
electrical additives on degree
Dichroic Filter - ANS-Style of glass mild clear out that reflects unwanted frequencies in
preference to absorbing them.
Dimmer - ANS-Electrical tool among the energy supply and a luminaire used to alter the
intensity of the lamp
Dimmer Per Circuit - ANS-Patching dimmer 1 to circuit 1, and so on.
DMX 512 - ANS-Digital Multiplexing protocol evolved with the aid of USITT for speaking
manipulate records between a console or other controller and dimmers or different stage gadget
