| E1.20 - 2010 Entertainment Technology-RDM-Remote Device Management over USITT DMX512 Networks |
E1.20 - 2010, Entertainment Technology-RDM-Remote Device Management over USITT DMX512 Networks, describes a method of bi-directional communications over a USITT DMX512/1990 or ANSI E1.11 - 2004 data link between an entertainment lighting controller and one or more remotely controlled lighting devices. The protocol was written to work with the ANSI E1.11-2004 control standard, but will work equally well with the current 2009 version of E1.11. It allows discovery of devices on a DMX512/E1.11 network and the remote setting of DMX starting addresses, as well as status and fault reporting back to the control console.
E1.20 - 2010 is currently being revised. The 2010 edition is now over-age as an ANS. When that revision process is completed, it will be submitted for re-recognition as an American National Standard. |

ANSI E1.24 is a configuration standard giving the mating requirements for male and female pin connectors, contact set-backs from the front face, and marking requirements. The electrical reliability and flammability requirements for pin connectors are outside the scope of this standard and would be covered by other standards, such as UL 498, Attachment Plugs and Receptacles.
The download is a ZIP file of the standard bundled with the CAD files that were used to create the illustrations in the standard. The standard is the standard; the CAD files are simply included as a convenience for those creating connector shop drawings and are not the standard. |

ANSI E1.25 describes the basic conditions for measuring the photometric output of a stage or studio luminaire by testing methods that measure the illumination levels produced by the luminaire on a planar surface. These testing methods include, but are not limited to, measurements taken by digital cameras or hand-held meters. This standard is not intended to give guidance on testing conditions for testing methods that use goniophotometers. The R2023 edition is a reaffirmation of the 2012 edition. | Photometrics |

ANSI E1.35 describes a method for measuring stage and studio luminaire lens quality with particular emphasis on contrast and perceived projected image quality (sharpness). It also offers a way for presenting these results on a datasheet in a format that is readily understood by a typical end-user and that allows the end-user to directly compare lenses in a meaningful way. Without this standard, there is no way to describe how clearly a stage lighting instrument projects an image, other than by showing a person with the actual instrument and gobo.

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 provides that guidance. This revised edition addresses recent changes to 29 CFR 1910 subpart D. | Floors |

| E1.48 - 2014 (R2019) A Recommended Luminous Efficiency Function for Stage and Studio Luminaire Photometry |
E1.48 specifies an luminous efficiency function V(lambda) that more accurately represents human eye response than many other V(lambda) functions often used when measuring light energy and then expressing it in units that represent the human eye response, such as lux, lumens, and candela. The function recommended in E1.48 results in a more accurate rendering of perceived brightness, particularly with narrow-band sources that have significant energy at the extreme ends of the spectrum, than do other commonly used V(lambda) functions.
E1.48 - 2014 (R2019) was previously approved as an American National Standard on 1 February 2019. This document is identical to that standard, but it no longer bears the American Nation Standard designation. It has been withdrawn as an ANS, effective 21 November 2023, which removes it from the mandatory five-year maintenance cycle for American National Standards. |
