 The Bankers' Automated Clearing Services. Not really a theatre term, but referred to so often that it's necessary to put here - it's the way of transferring money online.

+Not seen much nowadays as it is often intergrated into the dimmer or hard-wired and hidden in a dimmer rack. Device that changes analogue signals to dmx (digital) signals. Analogue cables used to take 6 channel signals in the same size cable that now takes 512 channels signals. You can think of it as the lighting equivalent of a set-top box.
+====Houselights====
+//Original Location: Lighting//((This term is still in the original location but with a //significantly// altered definition))\\
+The standard lights you have on while the audience are coming in and out of the auditorium. These are usually a couple of floods (in Arts H's case: BEWARE - always use a gel mesh on them, and be prepared for people going "there's a burning smell". Don't dismiss it as being dust because the lanterns haven't been used for a while! You'll have lots of fun trying to hack the gel off the mesh, since it has melted itself on. Getting the mesh frame out of the floods seems to be harder than you'd expect!)
