cheaper , and you can do more of it because it ’ s cheaper . It is now very entertainment focused . There are a lot of entertainment-focused products out there . The Luminex brand switches that we used in this system are entertainment focused , so if reusing infrastructure was one pillar of this project , the other pillar of it was the ease of use . YPT is a smaller theatre , which means we tend to get stagehands who are in the earlier phase of their career ; they ’ re still learning , they ’ re still figuring things out . And because we ’ re getting stagehands in the earlier part of their career , our turnover is higher . You get stagehands in the later part of their career working at a space like the Four Seasons Centre [ for the Performing Arts ], making more than we pay in a small theatre , that ’ s for sure . There , the turnover is less frequent , but our turnover is more frequent . So , we need systems that the stagehands are going to see in other theatres . That influenced a lot of our choices . We ’ re not buying Cisco enterprise network switches to build the network ; we ’ re going to buy entertainment-grade switches that have an easier user interface that is faster to teach . So yes , definitely a network backbone . All the systems in the theatre are based around a common network backbone .
