Previewing for the first time in Europe is LSC's soon-to-be-released lighting desk, Xtc. This powerful and stylish desk is based on the proven maXim engine and advanced moving light control from the popular PaTPad touch screen module. It offers a multitude of playback masters - up to 29 simultaneously, 500 memories, 100 fixtures, 100 groups, 100 presets, 100 palettes and 1024 DMX output channels. It has no faders, just dedicated latching and flashing buttons with a tri-colour status LED for each playback. Eight 'specials' can store looks or timed events for strobes, smoke machines or other DMX controlled equipment, say the company. MIDI control will soon be available. The front panel is made from 6mm laser-etched clear acrylic that is side lit with white LEDs.
Also on show will be LSC's successful range of installation digital dimmers - EKO. Available in a number of formats, the EKO has been specifically designed to make the installer and operator's life much easier, say LSC. Its mounting frame allows complete termination of load and data wiring prior to the dimmer being on site, while connection of the dimmer to the frame and output wiring takes less than five minutes. LSC will show the new remote panels for the EKO - linked back to the dimmer by a high-speed bus run over Cat 5 cable. EKO dimmers can now be found in some of Europe's most prestigious venues, with installations now in Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Spain, Russia and the UK, LSC reports.
LSC Lighting will also show its extensive range of maXim and MINIM control desks, Delta power and data distribution equipment; along with its 48- and 24-channel touring dimmers - both purchased by Spectra+ in Sweden and destined for the Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Ukraine during May.
LSC Lighting Systems will be located in Hall 8.0, stand A74.
