Stage Technologies to cruise with <I>Queen Victoria</I>

Stage Technologies has been awarded the contract for stage automation equipment on board Cunard's latest cruise ship.

The Queen Victoria is being built by Fincantieri in Marghera, Venice, for delivery in 2007. Whilst the vessel is not on the same scale as sister ship Queen Mary 2, the 800 seat Royal Court Theatre, styled after a London West End theatre, will be well equipped. The design has been developed jointly by architects GEM, and consultants NED.

Stage Technologies will supply and install the complete stage automation system. This will be the first non-Princess ship to be fitted with the company's second generation BigTow 2 winches and TanJent guidance system.

The stage will be equipped with two scenery elevators, each fitted with sliding traps to close the opening when the elevators are lowered to the storage area below stage.

Serapid tracks in the stage floor will be used for moving scenic items horizontally across and up/down stage. Stage Technologies contract also includes catwalks, lighting trusses and fixed lighting grids.

The automation control system will include an Acrobat control console with Chameleon application software, as well as the latest generation Solo hand held controllers.

The position control system will use MaxisID, the latest generation of technology developed jointly by Stage Technologies and Siemens.
