LED will be star of ETC's demonstration offerings, with the always-popular Source Four LED Series 2 being shown alongside the recently-introduced ColorSource range. The ColorSource PAR, which earned the Lighting Product of the Year award at the ABTT Theatre Show 2015, will be joined by the new ColorSource Spot, making a range of great quality LED lighting available for the first time on productions with limited budgets. Demonstrations will also be available for the ETC Source Four LED Fresnel and CYC adapters, as well as the extensive range of lens tubes, showing how versatile ETC LED light engines can be.
Visitors will be able to see the ETC Eos control desk with its award winning new software, which provides ground-breaking new colour control options for LED fixtures, including abstract colour spaces and fade tools. Cobalt control desks will also be available with Programming and Motorised Fader Wings.
ETCnomad - the USB Key which allows programmers to turn their PC or Mac into a portable console - is also the power behind the new Eos and Cobalt Programming Wings, which provide control surfaces for programmers working away from their control desk. Both will be available for demonstration.
At both trade shows, ETC will be offering an ETCnomad/Programming Wing bundle - providing 2,048 outputs on both Eos and Cobalt - for a special price.
In the power control area, both ColorSource Relay and EchoDIN will be on display. The ColorSource Relay, which was launched at this year's PLASA London show, enables any lighting setup to be turned into a wireless system, so that fixtures can be quickly and easily configured and operated without wiring hassles; while EchoDIN power control provides DIN-rail mount relays and dimmers for industrial cabinets.
Finally, in Paris, ETC will be offering a special preview of the next ColorSource power control product, which is expected to officially launch at the beginning of December.
