Faster load ins, smoother rehearsals, safer stages - wire your facility to take full advantage of stage automation. A variety of hardwired receptacles reduces the manpower and time running cables for any automated effect. Skilled technicians can plug in a motion controller or control device and get moving. Set up time is reduced by as much as 30% - that amounts to reduced labor cost & more time putting on a show.

Permanently installed remote boxes distributed throughout the facility connect to a centrally located control rack and form the backbone of a nimble network capable of supporting your most complicated automation needs. The remote boxes provide connectivity for Stagehand drives, control devices (like the Spikemark™ Vantis or Spikemark™ Console), and distributed emergency stop mushroom buttons.

Drive Connection

The Drive Connection lets you connect remotely deployed Stagehands to racked Showstopper components. No more long e-stop or Cat5 cable runs.

It incorporates an Ethernet and Showstopper connection in a standard 3 gang box. Easy for your electrical contractor to install and only requires low voltage connections.

Available as a surface mount or flush mount box depending on the installation needs. Each faceplate includes standard nomenclature as well as customized ID numbers to maintain clean and organized cable terminations.

Control Point

Control Points provide an all-in-one, hardwired control station that centralizes system access and safety in a single location. Each station includes an integrated E-stop for CAT 1 shutdowns, a dedicated Spikemark Vantis connection port, Showstopper 4 accessory interface, and a network port to support console connections and system expansion.

Remote E-Stop

Showstopper 4 Remotes extend the Showstopper 4 system and place emergency stop buttons within easy reach wherever required. Each button has LED indicators to view the status of the button locally, and an addressable ID so the button status can be displayed on any Spikemark operator station. Showstopper Remotes can be hardwired or connected with flexible cords with locking connectors. For hardwired installations, the Showstopper 4 Remote can be mounted onto a standard 3-gang box for flush-mount. In surface mount installations, a black powder-coated back box is provided.
