ETC's new Unison Paradigm System Controls Lambeth College Theatre
A Further Education college in south-west London has become the first European recipient of ETC Unison Paradigm, ETC's architectural control system.
Roger Hennigan, technical sales manager from White Light, the dealer which supplied and installed the system, says: "The college is currently undergoing an extensive rebuilding programme to construct a 6,000 sq m Sixth Form Centre which is set to open in early June. As part of that, the college has built a theatre space which can be divided into up to three areas, depending on how the tutors want to use it.
"One of the college's stipulations was that the tutors must to be able to quickly and easily control the lighting in any of the spaces. So we specified Paradigm, with its touch screen panels, so that anyone is able to control the house and production lighting regardless of how much training they have had. Alternatively, the better trained tutors, staff and students can use one of the two ETC Ion control desks either in the control room or in the studio and access the same moving and conventional lights."
Paradigm was devised by ETC as a solution to providing the complete control that traditional architectural light products have been unable to supply. The touch screen panels fitted each side of the doors were custom designed by White Light to offer the exact control that the college needs. By dispensing with the distinction between ‘architectural' and ‘entertainment' functionality, ETC has proved that Paradigm is far more comprehensive and adaptable than regular building and house lighting control systems - bringing greater power to any level of venue.
The Paradigm installation is just one part of a large installation by White Light, which includes lighting, dimming and control in the Sixth Form Centre.
