Specialists from A.C., as well as manufacturer representatives, were on hand to discuss how the two technologies are increasingly converging to provide innovative backdrops, set pieces and other video-based elements. The showcase included video projection and associated equipment, creative LED surfaces and LED lighting products from Christie, Chroma-Q, Element Labs, GLP, Green Hippo, GTEK, Kramer, Martin, Robe and TV One.
Lighting designer Bernie Davis commented: "I was delighted that the A.C. event was on a day I could go as I find these meetings are a good way to get a closer look at all that is new. The equipment on display showed how wide a range A.C. has to offer in this expanding market."
Sam Tamplin, managing director TSL, purchased a Green Hippo media server after the event and commented: "It was great to see so many products on display specifically for the lighting designer. After trialling a few different media servers on recent shows, the Hippo's features and usability really stood out. It is going straight out to run Chroma-Q Color Web 125 for a week."
Due to the success of the event, another Video & Lighting Open Day will be announced later this year, says A.C.
