TAIT Navigator
Automation control platform for large-scale stage machinery: multi-axis motion, 3D visualisation of the moving set, cue sequencing and the safety architecture around performer flying and heavy scenery.
Protocols it speaks
| Protocol | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| psn | out | PosiStageNet output of axis and object positions. |
| osc | bidirectional | Show control integration. |
| ltc | in | Timecode-driven automation sequences. |
What to watch for
Automation is the department with the shortest tolerance for improvisation. A cue change is a re-commissioning question, not a keystroke, and the schedule has to reflect that.
Publishing axis positions to lighting and video is now routine, which means the automation network is load-bearing for departments that do not own it. Agree who is allowed to touch it.
