ETC’s Eos lighting control desk has had its first outing in South Africa, with Prosound/T&A Lighting supplying one for use on the theatrical production of High School Musical.
Lighting director Declan Randall says: “This is a user-friendly but powerful desk which was able to do everything that I needed. I was sceptical at first, but very quickly learned my way around it and was able to program all 768 lighting cues without any problem. I am very impressed. It is a new system and as ETC is frequently issuing software updates, it is improving all the time. I would not hesitate to specify it for any other show in the future.”
ETC’s senior programmer Luke Delwiche went over to South Africa to help with the programming, where T&A Lighting also made him available to others who were interested in learning more about the desk.
Ian Blair, T&A Lighting’s General Manager, says: “We are thrilled to be a part of this first time experience and recognise that the adaptability of the Eos will serve the lighting schedule well, since the production is playing in two large-scale venues: the Teatro in Johannesburg and the Artscape in Cape Town.”
ETC’s most advanced lighting control system, Eos was designed to handle the most complex, multimedia-filled lighting rigs. Eos combines innovative features and functionality in a powerful system fully networked for ETCNet2TM and the new Net3TM protocol (powered by the new ESTA ACN standard).
