These were supplied by Robe's Serbian distributor Studio Berar Projekt. The decision to go with Robe fixtures for the TV station was a collective one, made by all the lighting designers, DoPs, technicians and engineers involved in lighting their busy schedule of programmes.
Day to day, the new lights are being looked after by chief lighting technician, Irinej Hudak. They are currently being used on one of the most popular current affairs programmes on Serbian TV, Tabloid with Saa and Nataa.
The programme is co-hosted by its originator Aleksandar (Saa) Filipovi?, together with Nataa Ili?-Jovanovi? and is celebrating its 16th glorious year and more top ratings.
RTV wanted to upgrade the lighting in their studios for some time, and they are a long term customer of Novi Sad based Studio Berar Projekt. However this is the first time they have used Robe equipment, and they considered several options before making their final decision.
The team at Studio Berar Projekt conducted several demonstrations as the process unfolded, allowing RTV's various lighting designers to see first-hand the brightness and other features of all the fixtures.
They were very impressed with the silent running of the LEDWashes and 600E Spots, which is important for chat shows, and really appreciate the range of gobos in the 600E Spots, that allow a good selection of effects.
Once delivered, the new Robes went into immediate use and have made a real impact on the lighting of several programmes.
