Gio is designed to fill the mid range position in the Eos family, sitting between the Eos and Ion. It will offer the power of full Eos functionality, in a tidy footprint. Features include integrated, articulating multi touch displays, helpful backlit buttons and unique tactile response direct selects and encoders.
The look of the desk itself is elegantly polished and minimalist. ETC is set to release further in depth information in early September, as part of the international product reveal. Initial response from ETC's CUE end user conference attendees - who were the first to have a sneak preview in July - confirms that it will be a popular draw at the PLASA stand.
ETC is also showing for the first time at PLASA its new ultra bright, high colour, energy efficient Selador Desire D40, D40XT and D60 lines of LED luminaires, including the Studio for broadcast work.
Selador's x7 Color System adds four more colours to LEDs' traditional RGB mix, radically expanding the colour range and power. With RDM (Remote Device Management) and stand alone operation included as standard, Desire fixtures can be controlled from a push button panel on the back of each; and they can be networked together to create sequences and chases without the need for a lighting desk.
Selador Desire will be joined by Selador Classic in an LED fixture shoot out on the STLD stand. Taking place twice a day, fixtures from a number of manufacturers will be compared to traditional tungsten and HID lighting. In addition, there will be case study seminars where you can learn from presentations on a variety of subjects, including a recreation of the Selador Classic LED-equipped ITV Daybreak studio.
These and many other products from ETC's lighting, dimming and control ranges will be on show and available for demonstration on ETC's PLASA stand, number 1-G39, beside the bar and business lounge in the centre of Hall 1.
ETC has created a website at www.layersoflight.com giving full details of each of the Desire fixtures, including examples and case studies.
