Show Control: Old Pulses, New Problems

Show Control: Old Pulses, New Problems

In an industry obsessed with innovation, show control still relies on protocols invented in the 1960s. That’s not a failure, it’s a feature. From LTC to serial, these technologies endure because they just work: they’re simple, robust, and even audible to the human ear. This session will explore the odd juxtaposition of bleeding-edge entertainment technology being driven by decades-old pulses, why that’s comforting, and how it shapes the way we design systems today. Expect a mix of history, practical insight, and a bit of humor about our love for tools that refuse to die.
