A stadium and other performance venue venue have large areas with lots of lighting circuits and consumes huge amounts of power, their lighting control is unlike those of regular wall switches. This article will describe a digital approach in contrast to the traditional approach.
Since these venues may be used for different purposes, such as for sports practice, outside rental, competition, large conferences, performances, and so on; each event or activity will require a different combination of lighting use.
Competition, practice, audience ingress, clean up, performances, large conferences, emergencies and so on.
Even though each scene mode can be set through the central touch panel, it is also a good idea to have individual control switches for use in special or unforeseen situations, or for emergency use.
Several scenes may be reserved for the administrator to define for special types of events, the administrator may set them manually without using any special tools or software.
There should be backup manual control and feedback status.
Due to the tremendous starting currents, each device should each be turned on one after another and not all at the same time.
Large stadiums may also have energy monitors installed.
Remote network control may also be added to reduce the need for the staff to run all over.
