Lighting director Declan Randall says, "This is a user-friendly but powerful desk which was able to do everything that I needed. I was sceptical at first, but very quickly learned my way around it and was able to program all 768 lighting cues without any problem. I am very impressed. It is a new system and as ETC is frequently issuing software updates, it is improving all the time. I would not hesitate to specify it for any other show in the future."
ETC's senior programmer Luke Delwiche went over to South Africa to help with the programming, where T&A Lighting also made him available to others who were interested in learning more about the desk.
Ian Blair, T&A Lighting's general manager, says, "We are thrilled to be a part of this first time experience and recognise that the adaptability of the Eos will serve the lighting schedule well, since the production is playing in two large-scale venues: the Teatro in Johannesburg and the Artscape in Cape Town."
