ETC's Eos Lighting Console Wins Showtech Award
ETC's new Eos lighting control system has won the Showtech 2007 trade show's Product Award for Lighting and Projection. This award is the second such honour for the Eos, which took the Product of the Year Award for debuting product when the desk was introduced last autumn at LDI. But the Showtech award is the first ever European award for an ETC desk and marks ETC's strong presence in the European entertainment lighting market.
ETC's CEO Fred Foster, who accepted the trophy at the Showtech ceremony on Wednesday 20th June, says: "We are extremely proud to have Eos recognised in the German market by this award. Eos will be a very powerful tool for the lighting designers and lighting programmers in theatres, television studios and events."
The prestigious achievement was matched by a massive turnout at the ETC stand. ETC staff worked non-stop demonstrating Eos at Showtech to people from some of the top theatres across Germany and the rest of Europe. The unprecedented show of interest extended to the other ETC offerings on display, which included the new ETC SmartFadeR ML compact lighting control console and the prototype VoyagerT II studio machinery control system.
ETC's most advanced lighting control system, Eos was designed to handle the most complex, multimedia-filled lighting rigs and is already being specified for theatres, performing arts centres, TV production and comparable sites. The Eos has now begun shipping in Europe and is being used by Det Norske Teatret in Oslo and the Rambert Dance Company.
Eos combines innovative features and functionality in a powerful system fully networked for ETCNet2T and the new Net3T protocol (powered by the new ESTA ACN standard). Eos is also unique in offering features tailored to the needs of each member of the lighting design and production team. The system is available in two models, Eos 8K (which supports 8,000 outputs) and Eos 4K (4,000), with powerful accessories to further enhance and streamline production work.
