Public Review DocumentsANSI procedures require that a standard be submitted to public review so that all parties materially affected have an opportunity to participate in its development. This ensures the standard reflects the consensus of opinion in the industry. A document is offered for public review for a limited period of time after which it is withdrawn for comment resolution and revision. If substantive changes are made to the document it will be offered for a subsequent public review. If no substantive changes are made and the working group is satisfied with the document, the standard will be put forth for acceptance as an American National Standard. The draft documents are produced by members of the working groups in the Technical Standards Program. Membership in the working groups is open to all who are materially affected by the work of the group; membership in ESTA or any other association is not a requirement. Voting members are required to attend meetings, but observer members are not, although they are welcome to attend and to speak on issues if they choose. More information about working groups and an application to join are available under the working groups link. Each public review packet includes the draft document and a response form. There may also be an explanatory document that gives the purpose or background of the document, but this is optional. Please submit comments by the due date noted on the response form, which is the day before the "Submit Before This Date" listed in the table here. The review has ended when that date starts. Below is a list of documents currently under public review. To participate in the review of these documents, please download the necessary forms and documents by using the links provided below. After you submit your comments, you should receive a confimation within one week.
Please download and then fill out the Review Form off-line and submit it by email. Do not fill it in with your browser as that usually results in a blank Review Form. |

| BSR E1.20, Entertainment Technology -- Remote Device Management over USITT DMX512 Networks | The existing E1.20 - 2010, Entertainment Technology--Remote Device Management over USITT DMX512 Networks, is being revised to clarify ambiguities, fix bugs, and incorporate some additional features. E1.20 is an extension to USITT DMX512 and ANSI E1.11 that allows for bi-directional communication on the primary data link. This allows a controller to discover RDM-enabled devices on the link, to set starting addresses and other configuration settings, and to request status messages. The project also is to reinstate E1.20 as an American National Standard. It has lost that status due to being over-age. | Control Protocols | October 04, 2022 | November 29, 2022 |
| BSR E1.37-5, General Purpose Messages for E1.20, RDM | This part of the E1.37 suite is to provide additional Get/Set parameter messages (PIDs) for use with the E1.20 Remote Device Management protocol. The public review package is a ZIP file with folders of 128 JSON examples. The standard is E1-37-5 General Purpose PIDs r30 2022-09-01.pdf. Comments on any of the files are welcome, but only comments on E1-37-5 General Purpose PIDs r30 2022-09-01.pdf will be formally considered and resolved. | Control Protocols | October 04, 2022 | November 29, 2022 |
| BSR E1.59, Entertainment Technology--Object Transform Protocol (OTP) | BSR E1.59 describes a mechanism to transfer object transform information such as position, orientation and velocity over an IP network using a subset of the ACN protocol suite. It covers data format, data protocol, data addressing, and network management. Data transmitted is intended to coordinate visual and audio elements of a production. The existing standard is being revised to include new modules for camera metadata. | Control Protocols | October 04, 2022 | November 29, 2022 |
| BSR E1.41, Recommendation for the Measurement of Entertainment Luminaires Utilizing Solid State Light Sources | This standard is intended to be used for the presentation of photometric data for luminaires employing solid state light sources used in the entertainment and performance industries. This standard defines photometric data that may be presented on documents purporting to accurately describe the photometric performance of these luminaires when producing white and colored light. | Photometrics | October 05, 2022 | December 06, 2022 |
| BSR E1.76, Tension Wire Grids | This draft standard for wire rope tension grids covers design and application criteria including the loading, self-weight considerations, transitions between levels, and suspension from the building structure. It provides deflection criteria for structural elements and the woven mesh. The standard offers guidance on openings, including trap doors and bays similar to loft-wells. It provides requirements for hand rails and step units, and considerations for other accessories. | Floors | September 19, 2022 | November 15, 2022 |
