The Nomad dongle gives you access to the powerful features of ETC's lighting control consoles on your computer, so you can take it with you anywhere. You can program and play back your show at the computer, or use it as a backup to any of ETC's lighting desks.
To enter, simply go to the ETC website at www.etcconnect.com/Prolight2014 and register; entrants can choose one of four one-minute music tracks. The site charges a small fee - less than 1 or £1 - to download a song, but it is free to listen to, with no obligation to purchase. Using the free (Windows-only) visualisation software on the ETC website, you can simply program a one minute light show to go with the music.
Everyone who enters will get a free ticket to ProLight+Sound, where you can use the Cobalt 20 or Eos Ti desk on ETC's stand, number B62 in Hall 9, to put the finishing touches to your show if you want, and see it played live using a live rig with luminaires from ETC, moving lights from Robe, and Magic Panels from Ayrton. ETC staff and lighting professionals will be available for help with fine-tuning.
Representatives from ETC, Robe, Ayrton and Event Rookie magazine will watch the shows at the end of each show day and choose a daily winner, with the overall first prize winner taking home a Nomad PC controller kit.
To register and to download all the necessary files, visit www.etcconnect.com/Prolight2014.
