ment that needs to be done to cover the area to be tracked. Truss spot
locations are preferable to long-throw FOH locations. At the same time,
the operator must be able to have perspective: a location exactly over
the stage would not be suitable because the operator would not be able
to gage the height at which the followspots should be directed. Like-
wise, a location at the same height as the stage would not be suitable
because the operator would not be able to gage the depth of the stage.
There is quite a bit more flexibility in positioning TrackPods than, for
example, conventional followspots. It is perfectly possible to have the
TrackPod operator be on a side truss and have most automated
followspots shining from the proscenium. It is likewise possible (and
desirable!) to have a TrackPod aim frontally but controlling several side
and back followspots on the performer. In short, the TrackPod does not
need to be placed colinear with the fixtures that it is controlling. This
means that if you have several TrackPods in a show they can all be
