Microsoft Surface

Christopher Cuhel

Hey Everyone,

I'm throwing around an idea to have a Microsoft Surface with me during our performances so I have instant access to Tessitura, emails, CSIs pre-show. Have any of you implemented the use of such a device (including using Tessitura on them)? If so, would you be willing to share pros/cons of your use?

    Chris,

     

    We have been doing this with one of our Theater Managers for a while now, and are starting to extend it to some of our Education folks who deal with student matinees and school groups front-of-house.

     

    As we get on the next version of Tessitura, we’re also experimenting with running the new Quick Sale touch-screen features on the Surface Pro3 this way.

     

    I’d be happy to discuss and share notes.

     

    Alan

    I use one mostly to carry around from meeting to meeting. I have an adaptor so that I can present on larger screens form it. I love it for E-mail, Tessitura, RMA and T-Stats. The only cons I have are that it is heavier than an iPad and some of the text in T-Stats is super tiny and difficult to show other people from the screen.

     

    I’ll show it to you in action at conference if you’d like.

    Just adding to this a bit. The Surface is also easily add to the domain, so network drives, printers,etc. are at the finger tips. We have four Surface 3 's. They are used to run, Tessitura and Artifax during events.I have not come across any issues with the devices, but obviously WiFi can impact the use.
