What You Should Know About Copyright
The following FAQ can help you understand copyright laws and how they apply to content used
with the DLHD, DL.3, DL.2, Axon and Axon HD media servers.
By S
uzy Vaughan Associates for High End Systems.
I want to use a film clip from “When Harry Met Sally” in a promotional piece advertising my services. What do I have to do to be able to do that?
First of all, you need to obtain permission to use the clip from its
owners. The clip is considered intellectual property, just as though it were your car or some software code developed by and belong ing to Microso f t. This is because the U.S. Copyright Act gave creators of literary works (which include books, films, television programs, art works, still photos and musical compositions and recordings) the right to sell or license these works and to make money from them for the period of the copyright.
But what about public domain material? I heard that lots of material is in the public domain and can be
used for free.
Once the copyright runs out, the creative
work falls into the public domain and can be used freely by anyone without payment or licensing. If the work is not public domain, it is considered literary property. The Copyright Act provides substantial penalties for copyright infringement ranging from $10,000 for accidental infringement to $250,000 for willful infringement. However, contrary to popular belief, there really is not that much material in the public domain so this approach will limit you creatively.
What if I want to use a clip in a public performance? It's not being film
ed or taped. Surely I don't need
permission for that? Public gatherings require clearance whenever copyrighted data is projected to audience s, or for any use other
th
an just personal viewing. Concerts, trade shows, industrial shows, parties and raves are all examples of
public performance and permission must be obtained. Suppose I want to use a still photo or a m
agazine cover or a television clip? Do I have to obtain permission for
them too? Yes, they are also copyrighted works, whose owners must grant a license for their usage. Do I need any other permissions to use this material? In many cases you do. You may need to obtain permission to use the appearance of actors who appear in the
c
lip as well as pay the writers and directors of the film that your clip comes from.
What about music? I hear you can use 8 bars for free.
8 bars for free is a fallacy that has been passed around as a fact for a long period of time. H owever, it isn't true. Both music
al compositions and records require licensing and payment.
What about High End Systems material included with Axon
and DL.2 media servers? Do I have to clear that?
No. High End Systems has worked to provide clearance for the content that is provided with Axon and DL.2 med
ia servers. Any materials you received directly from HES with the purchase of a new media server have already been properly licensed for your use in shows and p resentations . That does not, however, license you to sell this content separately from High End Systems media servers. Also, please be sure that any new content you obtain from outside sources is properly cleared for public presentation.
This sounds really difficult and I don't know how to do it? What do I
do to properly license
copyrighted material?
You need to consult with a Content Clearing House or with a properly licensed Intellectual Property Attorney. C
ontent clearinghouses are typically less expensive to work with and have well established industry relations that can result in cost savings. High End Systems us es and highly re commends Suzy Vaughan Associates. Suzy Vaughan Associates has 20 years of experience in clearing clips, talent, and music for use in any number of venues. Their clients include Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson, and The Emmys among other shows.

You can obtain more information about Suzy Vaughan Associates' services by calling 818-988-5599 or emailing info@suzyvaughan.com. Their website is www.suzyvaughan.com. Suzy Vaughan is also an attorney specializing in intellectual property issues.
How much does it typically cost to license copyrighted material?
The answer depends entirely on what material you want to use and how you plan to use it. Prices can range f
rom hundreds of dollars for photography content to thousands of dollars for a highly desirab le film/video clip. Since price is content-sensitive, the best thing to do is to contact a c learinghouse like Suzy Vaug han Associates and let them find out for you.

DLHD Digital Light User Manual 1
Chapter 1:
Product Overview
This chapter describes the features of the DL.3 Digita l L ight and the
Content Management Application software.
The DLHD (High Definition Digital Light) fixture merges vi
deo projection and automated lighting technologies with a DMX controllable digital media server housed in a moving yoke fixture. The built-in 32-bit Graphics Engine utilizes Windows XP Embedded and DirectX application programming interface to provide extensive image control of multiple 3-D graphic objects.
DLHD fixtures use the DMX512 protocol to control
hardware functions like pan, tilt, as well as graphic control of the internal media server. Media control functions include loading i mages and movies and mapping them onto 3-D graphical objects. The internal graphics engine lets you manipulate position, scale, and rotation; apply visual effects and color mix each graphic object. You can create and control up to nine of these objects and then apply global effects to the composite image. A DLHD fixture provides an extensive library of over 1500 high-resolution lighting-optimized video and still images.
The Co
llage Generator™ feature allows you to create seamless vertical, horizontal or central panoramic media projections using multiple Axon, AxonHD, DL.3 and DLHD units controlled from a lighting console. Using multiple digital lighting fixtures allows you to increase effective screen luminance.
The Content Management
Application (CMA) software runs on your workstation or laptop computer and communicates with other DLHD fixtures as well as DL.3 fixtures and Axon media servers over an Ethernet network. The CMA lets you remotely upl oad, move and clone content files, configure fixtures, and upgrade software. It also provides tools for resource monitoring and the capability for downloading log files to assist customer service in diagnosing any software issues that may arise.

Mounting the Fixture
You can mount DLHD fixtures suspended from a support system (such as a truss) or freestanding on its base.
NOTE: Due to the wide variety of possibl e lighting designs, High End
Systems cannot make specific mounting recommendations. Consider the following procedure as a suggested guideline only.
Fog Machine Warning
Like all high quality video projection units, the DLHD fixture must be kept protected from excessive amounts of glycol fog, mineral oil, and smoke. DLHD incorporates a two-stage air filtering system with additional washable prefilters in the head and base housing to reduce these risks to a minimum. However, you must follow these guidelines to ensure continued operation of the fixture:
• Air filters (both fixture and projector) should be checked and cleaned o
n a regular basis. When used in a closed or fixed environment where fog or haze is used, we recommend at least a weekly check.
• Do not situate DLHD in areas of high fog density such as
directly in front of a fog machine or
mineral oil hazer.
• Minimize the exposure of DLHD to both
glycol fog and mineral oil.
DLHD is a highly complex and sensitive electro-optical device an
d care and thought in how it is
used, rigged, and positioned will maximize the product’s life and your investment.
NOTE: Failure to follow these guidelin es an d carr y ou t regul ar main tenance
will void the warranty.
WARNING! Equipment suitable for dry locations only. Do not expose this equ
ipment to rain or moisture.
CAUTION! Always use a secondary safety cable when mounting this fix
ture.
Fixture must be installed and ope
rated by trained personnel
only. Maintain a minimum focus distan
ce of 1.4 meters from a
combustible object.
Do not mount on a flammable surface.
