ETC Lifts the Curtain on New Products at LDI

	ETC's Source Four LED CYC adapter

At the LDI 2013 trade show, November 22 - 24, in Nevada's Las Vegas Convention Center, ETC (Electronic Theatre Controls) will premiere a new cast of products on its stand, 1415.

Winner of the 2012 LDI Best Booth Award, ETC's stand will feature the "Layers of Light Theater," which allows visitors to go behind the scenes to see the company's lighting and rigging innovations. It will also function as a real theater, staging several presentations given by ETC staff: "2013: An ETC Rigging Odyssey" by Michael Lichter, "Back to the Future: System Evolution" by Steve Terry and Doug Tuttrup, and "Adventures in Light" by Tom Littrell.

Making its first appearance at the show is the ETC Source Four LED CYC adapter, which transforms the Source Four LED luminaire into a tool for lighting cycloramas. The company says it produces smooth, even coverage across cycs, without visible gaps. Backed by the x7 Color System, the Source Four LED CYC offers a nearly limitless array of bold and subtle colors on cycs and can be fine-tuned to accentuate or subdue certain hues in painted backdrops.

Also on display for the first time at LDI is the Eos Titanium (Eos Ti) lighting control system. The flagship desk in ETC's popular Eos family, Ti speaks the language of light, with powerful hardware, easy-to-navigate software, and common-sense syntax. It features large, articulating multi-touch displays with plenty of programming space. Ti's command line is fully integrated with direct selects and magic sheets, allowing designers to work seamlessly from the keypad and touchscreen controls.

The Source Four Mini -- what ETC calls the little fixture with the big attitude -- will also make its LDI debut. The Source Four Mini packs the optics and user-friendly functionality of ETC's legendary Source Four family into a compact, nine-inch body. A 50W tungsten/halogen fixture, the Source Four Mini produces a surprisingly bright, even field and crystal-clear image projection. It's a fit for installations where larger fixtures can't go.

In addition to its stand on the show floor, ETC will have a lounge in room N202, where LDI attendees are invited to go backstage to get demonstrations of the latest additions to the ETC rigging family, including the new Prodigy P75 low-profile hoist, which comes in 2,000lb and 3,300lb fixed-speed models and a 1,200lb variable-speed version. Able to travel 75', the P75 can take any combination of its eight quarter-inch lift lines either direction out of the hoist.

ETC will host its legendary LDI Student Session on Saturday, November 23, at 5:15pm, in ETC's lounge (room N202). Students can pick up a pass at ETC's registration desk to attend the event, where they can talk directly with ETC staff, answer trivia, and win exclusive swag and other prizes.
