How to Programme ETC Eos Desks

This was probably the most helpful video playlist I found when I tried to learn how to programme the Ti – used in the Chandler Studio Theatre.

James also recommended this booklet from West College Scotland, which I found to be a good reference point when I came up against any challenges.

How to Build a Chandler Control Desk

For some of the CPP shows this year, the LX team wanted to operate from the seating bank. Unlike in the Ath, no pre-made control desks are kept in the building, so this is how I constructed one.

You will need:

2 x 800mm scaff legs

2 x 1000mm scaff legs

4 x 1400mm scaff pipes (or whatever width is required)

2 x 600mm scaff pipes

16 x T-join kee clamps (or similar)

Wooden Table Top (pre-prepared and somewhere in the dock)

Assembly Instructions:

  1. Build a U shaped frame from your 800 legs, two clamps, and one length of your 1400mm pipe. Repeat, but this time with your 1000mm legs.
  2. Attach two clamps to either side of your two 600mm lengths, and slide onto your U sections, from the bottom. These will butt up to the clamps at the top and form a table.
  3. Attach two clamps to either end of your remaining scaff and slide these onto the table, again from the bottom. It works best to do the two shorter ends first, as these will have to fit over the seating bank chairs.
  4. Once all clamps are tightened your structure is ready for installation. When in position, use the holes in the top board to feed through a ratchet strap and tighten for extra stability. If slightly uneven, use wooden packers to build it up to desired height.

I hope this helps.
