Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) is located in Yio Chu Kang next to Yio Chu Kang MRT Station, Singapore. More than 15,000 students attend, on a campus of 30 hectares.
The Polytechnic approached Singapore-based Total Solution - a leading distributor of premium professional Light, Sound and Rigging products in Asia - to upgrade its existing lighting consoles for the course. Total Solution's Executive Director Tevin Heng demoed the Quartz console to the institution.
"NYP felt they needed to upgrade to a higher scale and more user friendly lighting console, and had always heard about Avolites' popularity in our region and therefore invited us to demo the Quartz," says Heng. "They were immediately impressed by the fact that Quartz is super compact and lightweight yet is packed with all the functions of Avolites' bigger consoles, such as the Tiger Touch II.
"With Titan V9, it offers so many amazing features such as Key Frame Shapes, Quick Sketch and Multi-band sound to light triggering that it's perfect for students to intuitively learn how to control light in inspired ways."
Quartz is the newest addition to the Titan Mobile family, complete with on-board processing and a bright, vibrant 12.1" screen. Measuring only 42.5cm wide, the Quartz is designed for lighting projects ranging from touring and festivals to clubs and one-offs.
"As this was a substantial investment, NYP also considered the reputation and after sales service track record for the respective consoles' local distributors," Heng continues. "NYP has worked with Total Solutions since 2012 and are extremely pleased with our service support."
