The University runs a variety of the UK's leading media orientated courses and the TV studios are used for full programme productions and an assortment of other associated functions.
The Chroma-Q Color Force 12" / 300mm multi-purpose fixtures and Color Force 72" / 1.8m battens have replaced all the studio's old soft lights and cyc lights, substituting approximately 43,000 Watts of power consumption with an expedient 3,700 Watts with the new LED lighting.
Chroma-Q Color Force was chosen after extensive research by studio engineer and technical specialist Steve Judge, who also teaches the practical and technical elements of courses to any students using the facilities.
Judge comments, "The quality of the light output from the Color Force fixtures has already made a massive difference to programme making and the depth of the colours looks superb in HD. The fact that they can also produce a variety of 'proper' whites at different colour temperatures is also a great advantage to studio work."
The Color Force fixtures were supplied to the university by exclusive Chroma-Q UK dealer, A.C Entertainment Technologies (AC-ET).
