ETC's stand will feature two displays stocked with conventional and LED fixtures for indoor and outdoor applications, some of which are created specifically for broadcast use, such as the Source Four LED Studio HD, Selador Desire D22 Studio Tungsten, Selador Desire D40XT Studio HD and Selador Classic Pearl luminaires.
Also on display will be ETC's newest fixtures, including the Source Four LED Series 2 Lustr, Source Four Mini and Source Four LED CYC.
"Our fixtures are designed to meet the unique requirements of film and TV lighting," explains ETC fixtures product manager Jim Uphoff. "We take into consideration how the light looks not only in person but also on camera - especially high-definition cameras. Sets, costumes and skin tones can be lit naturally and beautifully by ETC fixtures."
ETC's rigging products are set to reach Europe in the next year, and there is an ETC Rigging solution for any studio, no matter the size. At NAB, guests to ETC's stand will be able to try out the Prodigy EXO hoist, which can be installed upright, underhung or vertically, offering flexibility to any broadcast location. EXO hoists come in a range of sizes and capacities to safely lift scenery, lights and other suspended loads of all capacities.
"EXO hoists also include the new SoftLift technology, which makes for much smoother travel when lifting or lowering scenery," says ETC rigging product manager Nils Becker. "SoftLift ramps up batten travel speeds when the hoists start to move, and slows them down when coming to a stop."
Two members of ETC's Eos family of lighting controls will be available for demonstrations at NAB: the compact, easy-to-navigate Gio console and the portable, expandable Ion desk.
