Standards Posted for Public Review One more draft standard has been added to PLASA's Technical Standards Program public review website at http://tsp.plasa.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php, bringing the total to seven. The reviews run until the due date listed. The reviews are over and the documents disappear when their due date starts. Due 15 July BSR E1.46, Recommended Practice for the Prevention of Falls from Theatrical Stages and Raised Performance Platforms The users of theatrical stages and raised platforms can suffer debilitating injuries from falls into orchestra pits, open stage lifts, and similar openings in stage floors. Health and safety regulations require action to prevent these falls, but offer little guidance that is suitable for theatrical environments. This document would provide that guidance. Due 1 July BSR E1.31 - 201x, Entertainment Technology - Lightweight streaming protocol for transport of DMX512 using ACN This is a revision of the existing standard that describes a mechanism to transfer DMX512-A packets over a TCP/IP network using a subset of the ACN protocol suite. It covers data format, data protocol, data addressing, and network management It also outlines a synchronization method to help ensure that multiple sinks can process this data concurrently when supervised by the same controller. This revision includes the addition of DMX universe synchronization. BSR E1.37-2 - 201x, Entertainment Technology - Additional Message Sets for ANSI E1.20 (RDM) –Part 2, IPv4 & DNS Configuration Messages This document is another part of the multi-part, open-ended E1.37 standard. It provides additional Get/Set parameter messages (PIDs) for use with the ANSI E1.20 Remote Device Management protocol. Messages in this document are intended for configuring network interfaces, routing information and Domain Name System settings on devices with IPv4 addresses. BSR E1.39 - 201x, Entertainment Technology - Selection and Use of Personal Fall Arrest Systems on Portable Structures Used in the Entertainment Industry E1.39 establishes minimum requirements for the selection and use of personal fall arrest systems on portable structures in the entertainment industry. The standard establishes minimum requirements for products and portable structures used in the service of PFAS. Other methods of fall protection, such as safety nets and guard rails, are not within the scope of this standard. This standard does not preclude the use of other standards to promote worker safety. Due 3 June – Last Call BSR E1.42 – 201x, Entertainment Technology — Safety Standard for Orchestra Pit Lifts Stage lifts, such as orchestra pit or theatre forestage lifts, are not the subject of any current national standard in the USA. As result, safety requirements and inspections of them are inconsistent. E1.42 is being written to address this lack of a standard. The scope is limited to safety and to orchestra or forestage lifts that are installed as a part of the building and that are not custom-built for a single theatrical production. BSR E1.43 – 201x, Entertainment Technology — Live Performer Flying Systems E1.43 specifies a minimum level of performance parameters for the design, manufacture, use, and maintenance of performer flying systems used in
