ChamSys to Offer WFX Training Sessions Stepping up to a lighting console can be an intimidating and confusing experience for a church volunteer or anyone who lacks proper training. ChamSys is taking steps to make the process more user-friendly by offering four lighting console training sessions during the WFX Conference and Expo Wednesday and Thursday, November 14 and 15. Held at WFX demo room 221-B, the sessions will be conducted by Philip Watson, a lighting designer/director and the ChamSys USA director. Watson will be holding two sets of sessions: one on the award-winning MagicQ console; the other on its simplified version, the QuickQ console. Any WFX attendee interested in pre-registering for one of these free sessions can click: chauvetlighting.com/events/WFX2018/chamsys/index.php. Attendees can also register at the door subject to availability. Each session will offer hands-on training working with the actual console. The MagicQ session will cover topics like patching a new show; creating, recording, and editing cues; applying effects; and using a variety of tools like MagicVis to maximize the design benefits of even the most elaborate rigs. The QuickQ session will familiarize attendees with the intuitive plug-and-play interface of this console, which allows even inexperienced users to operate smaller lighting systems. "Our MagicQ and QuickQ consoles are powerful tools that can make a real difference in a house of worship's lighting," said Watson. "Our goal in both sessions is to take the mystery out of running a console, so technical directors, volunteers, and anyone else can jump start their learning process." The ChamSys Sessions are schedule to run at the following times: MagicQ (90 minutes): Wednesday, November 14, at 11:45am and Thursday, November 14, at 1:15pm. QuickQ (60 minutes): Wednesday, November 14, at 1:30pm and Thursday, November 15, at 2:30 pm.
