LSC and Channel 9 - Australia’s Best
Studio 2 at Sydney’s Channel Nine Studios has to be the busiest television studio in the country hosting a myriad of successful programmes such as The Footy Show, Funniest Home Videos, Mornings with Kerri-Anne show and the Sunday Show.
A decision was made earlier in the year to replace the Studios’ aging dimmers and Andrew Veitch, Channel 9 lighting supervisor, knew exactly what he wanted: 24-channel wall mount installation LSC EKO dimmers.
“You really get bang for buck with the EKO dimmers and basically, they’re very good,” he remarked. “The dimmers have been installed for a few months now and we’ve had absolutely no problems with them. The installation by Coemar De Sisti was brilliant. They put them in and everything worked on the first day.
”With the EKO’s you don’t have to put any contactors in to run moving lights, or any of the normal everyday things you want to plug into the system, and that was for us, a really big thing. Just simply make them relay-mode and away we go!”
In fact Coemar De Sisti has been busy providing LSC EKO dimmers to the television industry ever since they hit the market. Managing director Peter Kemp happily admits that the EKO dimmers have been extremely good for his business reporting that they have become their standard for studio work, providing all the right features at the right price.
Andrew Veitch also favours using a local Australian manufacturer over importing from overseas. “I think that the way the industry is in Australia, people can’t afford to spend large amounts of money on dimmers from overseas and the back up in this country is great. All we’ve got to do is ring Melbourne and I can have something happening within hours.”
Andrew is also running Houston Remote Monitoring Software, LSC’s PC based application that allows for remote monitoring of your venues dimmer systems.
“The Houston is great for letting you know exactly what is going on with the dimmer system. During the winter the air conditioning broke down in the dimmer room –and thank god it was winter – but we could monitor how the dimmers were coping via Houston in the lighting control room. It was easy to see that, even though there was no air flowing into the room, the dimmers were fine, in fact they handled it very well.”
