After exhaustive market research conducted by the Australian National Broadcaster, ABC TV, to find a suitable lighting desk for their recently-digitised Studio 31 in Melbourne’s Ripponlea complex, an order was placed for a Vision 10/ST console from ADB-TTV in Belguim. The desk will be supplied by ADB’s Australian distributor, LSC Lighting Systems of Melbourne.

The Vision desk provides 1024 control channels on 1024 DMX output channels expandable to 2048, 48 submasters over two pages, full A/B playback facilities, moving light control module, special effects module, standard outputs for keyboard, mouse, SVGA monitors, MIDI, audio, IR or HF remote control units, printers and worklights. The desk can also be expanded for ethernet connection.

The Vision fulfilled a number of key criteria that the ABC were seeking. "The ADB Vision certainly provided what we were looking for in a desk - intuitive, predictable operation with fast on-the-fly recording of memories and separate channel and memory keypad modules. This is essential for our fast-paced TV production, often using freelance console operators . . . and of course it fell within our budget."

ADB-TTV is a wholly-owned Siemens company and has developed an enviable reputation in Europe, South America and Asia for their high quality lighting control systems, hoists, suspension systems and luminaires. Their reference list reads like the who’s who of major theatres and Television Studios throughout these regions. LSC Lighting Systems was appointed the Australian Distributor in an effort to establish the ADB name in Australia. The collaboration was a natural progression for LSC to expand its product base and market coverage throughout this important region.
