Channel 7’s Martin Place News Studio Shines with De Sisti Fluorescents

CDA has supplied Channel 7 with 26 4-bank and 9 2-bank De Sisti Delux Fluorescents for the new studio they have just completed at Martin Place in Sydney.

   After successful use of the fluorescents with Channels 7’s Melbourne Broadcast centre plus Channels Seven’s coverage of tennis, golf and racing (where they have an extensive stock of De Sisti Fluorescents which are used on all these outside broadcasts) the De Sisti product was a natural pick for the new studio in Sydney.

   The Sydney studio is a challenge for good lighting as two sides of the studio are glass walls and therefore they have to contend with changing light levels and colour temperature throughout the day, keeping in mind that the studio is in use from 6am in the morning through to the late hours of the evening. However, the extremely high output and possibilities of controlling the De Sisti fluorescents both for dimming directly via DMX512 and also beam control via the accessory egg-crates that are available, make them the perfect tool for lighting directors say CDA.

   Peter Kemp, CDA’s managing director, visited the new studio and viewed the broadcast of the 10.30am news with Channel Seven’s John Norton. The only lighting for the News set was via the De Sisti Fluorescents and John Norton told Peter that they where extremely pleased with the results achieved with the products.
