During the three-day tradeshow, ETC held live demonstrations installing the innovative Prodigy P2 hoist. The speedy installation of the full upper stage machinery system including luminaires was completed by just two staff members in under half an hour every time.
Crowds gathered as the quickest time recorded during the show to install the P2 powerhead, hang the ColorSource Raceway, fit a double purchased swag-style cable management system and rig and connect some ColorSource luminaires was under 18 minutes. ETC’s Prodigy P2 is compact in size and has advanced features that make installations a swift and easy process, saving costs and time, and with variants available from European stock entire projects can be delivered at short notice.
Visitors to the lighting hall of the international trade fair and conference were able to see in-depth presentations of ETC’s first integrated 3D programming environment, Augment3d. The Eos v3.0 tool was shown on Eos Ti and Gio @5 consoles, demonstrating how users can design and control in a three dimensional space as well as interacting with their fixtures through augmented reality.
High End Systems distributor, Preworks GmbH showcased a range of the newest products at the tradeshow. A selection of automated fixtures from the SolaFrame series were on display including the SolaFrame 3000 which boasts more than 37,000 lumen output, the new SolaFrame 1000 available in both Ultra-Bright and High CRI, SolaFrame 750 and SolaFrame Theatre. High End Systems’ leading Hog 4-18 console was also on the stand; bringing advanced and powerful control technology for the largest live events.
The ETC lighting stand presented Relevé Spot, the company’s first automated fixture specifically designed for theatre with high-quality colour technology. Attendees explored the ArcSystem family of LED auditorium lighting products which are designed for easy installation and feature high-quality light output and smooth dimming.
