ROAD CREW / ROADIES
Technical crew members who travel with a production on tour.
ROBOSCAN
A moving mirror automated fixture manufactures by Martin.
ROCK DESK
Lighting control desk designed for rock concerts, the main feature of which
is the ability to group a set of dimmers under the control of a series of
flash buttons, enabling the operator to "play the lights" in time to the
music. These desks usually have a very good lighting effects capability.
ROLLING RACK
A portable dimmer rack on casters for ease of transportation.
ROSCO LABS
USA based manufacturer of lighting gels and scenic products.
RUNNING PLOT
A plot giving details of the changes between cues, as distinct from a state
plot which gives the whole state of the system at any time. For example, a
lighting plot on a manual board is normally a running plot. It is difficult
to start a running plot half way through; often the operator has to go back
to the beginning and work through until the required point is reached.
However, it contains the minimum information necessary to perform the cues,
and is therefore more efficient on a manual lighting desk or complex sound
setup.
