Just curious - what aspects of the performance was she controlling live? I'm surprised she was hacking away in netcat during the performance. I would think the entire thing would have been completely designed beforehand, and at most during the performance she'd be pressing a button at various pre-selected points during the song to keep everything synched (or something like that ... obviously I don't know anything about this). Awesome stuff by the way. I happened to be watching America's Got Talent tonight and it was by far my favorite.

It's mostly pre-choreographed, with manual cue points for performances involving live music or variable length pauses. But, we do use netcat for manual overrides, for monitoring even pre-choreographed pieces, and for testing the devices and lights. It's pretty damn handy. ;) > Awesome stuff by the way. Thanks! Watch for us in the next round!
