Studio Control: on the iPad at Tether Station
HOME app
studio control of shades and lights
SENSIBO app
HVAC control
Blackout Blinds
The first app in the dock is called HOME, and this controls all of the stage area shades. If you put the double glass door big black shade down, triple check that nothing is blocking it when you put it back down as it will jump the track and then it’s game over and a very expensive repair job.
Heat/AC
The studio has a mini split system for Heat and Air Conditioning. There are 5 zones, and control for each is on the iPad in the SENSIBO app.
If you want to switch the entire system from HEAT to COOL or vice versa, you must contact us at 303.284.6057 either voice/text.
Overhead Lights
The overhead lights are controlled by a tap/dimmer switch on the tether station.
- 1 dot = Bright White
- 2 dots = Warm White
- 3 dots = Blue
- 4 dots = OFF
- Outer Ring = Dimmer
Music
There is a surround sound system.
- Make sure you have joined the WiFi network
- Launch your preferred music app on your phone
- Choose “Stage Speakers” for output
Tether Station
Feel free to use the tether Station. It has CaptureOne, Phocus, Photoshop, Lightroom, Resolve and more all installed, and can AirPlay to the Lounge TV upstairs if you would like clients or guests to watch the shoot images as they happen. There are also varieties off high-end tether cables on the station.
If you unplug anything or reconfigure things on the tether station (to use your own laptop for instance): PLEASE put things back to the way they were so that the next renter in is ready to go and has no confusion about why the monitor is “dead” or similar. If we have to provide emergency support to a renter because the tether station isn’t configured to its standard after your rental, there will unfortunately be a surcharge.
Username/Password are mounted on the station.
Coffee/Tea
COFFEE
There is a coffee machine on the kitchen counter to make lattes, cappuccinos etc. In the refrigerator there are carafes for dairy milk and oat milk. They are very easy to use, just attach the carafe tube to the valve next to the dispenser, and follow the instructions on the screen to make your drink. There is a knob on the side of the machine that the screen will ask you to turn when it’s ready to froth. When you are done, just turn the knob back and place the carafe back into the fridge.
How to attach the milk carafe
TEA
In the lounge is a Keurig K-Cup machine with many different teas and hot chocolate for the non-coffee drinkers.
C-Stands, Arms, Knuckles
There is a selection of chrome C-Stand kits (stand, arm, knuckle) at the corner of the cyc wall, that all have tennis balls on them. Please use these stands first. If you need to put more stands on the cycle wall, there is a black mesh bag of more tennis balls hanging to the left of the group wall – please use them!
Included Gear
During your shoot, all grip gear hanging on the black wall is included, as are all flags, v-flats, sandbags and extension cords. All gear on the floor under the white shelves on west wall is included, and all gear on the lowest white shelf on west wall is included. Any additional rental equipment you booked will be laid out on the cyc wall prior to the start of your shoot.
Gear Additions
We work on an honor system for the rest of the gear you will see in studio, including strobes, modifiers, continuous lights, etc. If you decide to use any please let us know so that we can add to your final invoice.
Grip/Gear Wall
PLEASE: After your shoot wraps, please put the grip wall back to the way it was when you came in. This ensures that any new renter that comes in after you has a great experience, and also, makes it very easy for us to provide support if someone calls and is looking something, we can tell them right where it is, as long as the wall is configured the same after every shoot. If we do have to come in after your shoot and put the gear back to its intended configuration, there will unfortunately be a surcharge.
Power
On either side of the cyc wall are two aluminum plates with black wall plugs. It’s very important that you use ONLY those plugs to power your gear. Each plug is a 20 amp circuit, so with 8x 20 amp circuits you have tons of power.
Backdrops
To put the backdrops up/down, turn on power (switch on right side of cyc wall), then use the black remote on tether station table. Just point at controller mounted on the wall next to backdrops and press and hold the direction arrow for the one you want. Switch between them by choosing the corresponding number to the color.
Usage Areas
The stage area, bathroom, kitchen, front door area and client lounge upstairs are all free to use. Please do not go into the top office area or through the door marked “employees only”.
Trash
Across the street is a green dumpster. Please empty the trash along with any craft services in the fridge.
NOTE: The lock code on dumpster is by the front door.
