They interface with the water pumps using a DMX-to-analog converter and employ an RIO 4/4 from the Mosaic line to control the start and stop times of the fire rings in the entry fountain. The Mosaic units interface with the building, a digital music-playback unit, and other elements via RS-232 serial commands.

'We programmed some 19 different looks that change out every five minutes, and had some 14 effect shows for predetermined holidays,' says Michael Mahlum, senior project designer at Visual Terrain, who along with colleague Jen Goldstein, programmed the six Mosaic controllers - three primary and three backup, paired for redundancy. and WorthGroup Architects, specified the ETC products as part of their role in providing system design, lighting layout and programming for the suite of effects.

They are interconnected with an ETC SmartSwitch™ relay panel, an ETC Unison Smartlink® DRd Rack and are networked using the ETC Net3™ ACN-based control-protocol system. The Mosaic units control the architectural-lighting fixtures, fountain pumps, rain curtains, and underwater uplights. The synchronized magic of all these scenic effects - as well as the entire exterior LED wash lighting of the building - is performed by ETC Unison® Mosaic show controllers. Inside, guests are greeted with a second fountain - a dazzling water-curtain programmed to change colors and water quantity as a kinetic backdrop to a buffalo sculpture. These scenic elements point the way, provide a sense of arrival, and set the mood more distinctively than any signage could do. Drawing up to the resort, motorists see a circle of nine obelisks around an entry fountain that incorporates not only dramatic water effects, but lighting and fire.
