This is a handbook for anyone who needs to know more about A-V equipment technologies. The book discusses traditional A-V approaches such as slide-tape, multi-image, film and video. Increasingly important and also covered in greater depth are computer-controlled A-V; networking of A-V systems and non-linear editing. All the many and varied uses of audio-visual presentations are discussed from business presentations, conferences, training sessions, museum exhibits through to visitor centre displays and theme parks. * now completely updated * much more on computer controlled A-V * the networking of A-V sytems * video compression * non-linear editing

Robert Simpson's comprehensive volume covers all aspects of lighting control systems. It starts with two foundation chapters outlining the basics of electricity, light and electronics as they apply to lighting control. It then reviews all current artificial lightsources, and comments on their suitability for control. A section on lighting control components covers electronic and electromagnetic dimmers, ballasts and transformers. The next section reviews lighting control systems, including those for stage and entertainment, architectural applications, energy management and building control; and includes a chapter on control signals protocols. The final part is an extensive applications review, fully illustrated, covering everything from hotels and cruise ships to homes and churches; and taking in offices, factories, simulators, trains and planes on the way. Lighting Control: technology and applications brings together information not otherwise available from a single source. It is intended as a training resource within the lighting industry, both for those completely new to the subject, and for those coming to it from another technical field. It will also be useful for lighting designers, consulting engineers and electrical contractors as a reference book covering current and emerging lighting control techniques - with special emphasis on new light sources and new digital control standards. Information, case histories and illustrations for the book have been provided by many leading lighting companies and organizations in North America and Europe. *Offers comprehensive coverage of all aspects of lighting control from live performance to architectural lighting *Understand the background to various applications and disciplines in the lighting industry *Discover the latest thinking and technology; illustrated in full colour

This work deals with Nielsen's symphonies and other works, and also compares Nielsen and Sibelius as symphonists. Robert Simpson's book is the classic study of Nielsen's music ...Simpson excels in pointing out the particular aspects of each piece of music which mark it as one of Nielsen's, and describing how tonality is used within the major pieces (particularly the symphonies) in a revolutionary way.

Their designs having been perceived by Colonel Mitchelburne, that officer ordered a blind or screen to be erected before Butcher's-gate, under the superintendence of Captain Schomberg, that the gate might not be demolished by the enemy's guns, as well as to enable the troops of the garrison to prevent the enemy from sapping the bastion. Still an unremitting and weighty fire both from the large guns and the trenches was kept up against the City, and, notwithstanding their almost insurmountable difficulties, was as briskly returned by the garrison. 27th--On the evening of the 26th a conference was requested by Colonel Gordon O'Neill of the besieging army, with officers of the garrison: Colonel Lance and Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell proceeded this morning to the place appointed, the old Gallows-field or Gallows-strand, t (the south-western extremity of the island.) Colonel O'Neill informed them that instructions had just been received by Marshal de Rosen from King James, for the purpose of offering terms of capitulation, which terms were contained in a letter to the Governors from Lieuten antGeneral Hamilton, who was commissioned to carry the negotiations into effect. The letter, with the terms proposed, ran thus:--" First--.That Colonel O'Neill has a power to discourse with the Governors of Derry, from General Hamilton, as appears by his sending this. " 2d--That the general has full power, does appear by Ms commission. " 3d--That General Rosen has no power from the king to intermeddle with what Lieutenant-General Hamilton does, as to the Siege, being only sent to oppose the English succour; and that all conditions and parleys are left to the said Lieutenant-General Hamilton; that as t...

Dr Robert Simpson, one of Britain's finest composers and for nearly thirty years a BBC music producer, scrutinises the methods by which the BBC plans the annual Promenade Concerts. Basing his argument on long experience inside the BBC, Dr Simpson argues the only logical way to give the Proms the flair that a single imagination can provide - without those otherwise inevitable long-term imbalances - is to limit the tenure of the Controller to four or five years. Dr Simpson further examines the artistic gains and financial savings to be made from more extensive use of the BBC's own orchestra. He suggests that not only would this measure produce a saving of a staggering 62% of costs; it would also give the Controller almost total control of the repertoire. This would enable the Proms to become more adventurous than ever before, and a true realisation of Sir Henry Wood's original vision. A musician and writer of scholarly books on Nielsen, Bruckner and Beethoven, for 30 years ROBERT SIMPSON was also a Music Producer with the BBC.
