I'm John Huntington, author of Control Systems for Live Entertainment, the first book on show control and entertainment control systems. Zircon Designs is my entertainment control system and audio consulting, design and implementation firm, but Control Geek is an open, non-commercial site, including many companies and resources.
While Control Systems for Live Entertainment covers entertainment control systems for all aspects of the live entertainment industry, this site focuses on show control, technologies that allows a system designer to connect more than one show system together into a "meta" system. There are many other sites out there that cover lighting, sound, machinery, pyro, etc. This page is a clearing house for information about show control, so if I've missed anything, or you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.
This is a very interesting book on a very interesting topic.
Bob McCarthy is the "yoda" of sound system allignment, and this is a great book (and I'm honored to be quoted in it a couple times).
