Dimming will be a major feature of the ETC stand, following the recent acquisition of IES, a pioneer in sine wave dimming technologies. IES' products provide silent dimming for concert halls and theatres and will become an integral component in ETC's total lighting systems.
ETC's own Sensor dimming now benefits from the new Control Electronics Module (CEM+), adding the functionality of a network and a graphic user interface. Visitors to the show will be able to see how Sensor CEM+ receives and manages Ethernet control signals and two DMX512 inputs, controls dimmer output and communicates status information to compatible lighting control devices and network peripherals. It also incorporates web server technologies for interaction with standard web browsers.
ETC will also be previewing a major new lighting control system from Avab at the show. This is another piece of kit that is being kept under wraps, but ETC say that it will maintain Avab's reputation for fast, easy-to-use and professional lighting consoles.
ETC can be found on stand F40.
