JSHAA News

Beginning May 17th, every new ETC Source Four Revolution® will be shipped with a 24-frame-capacity "Wybron® Inside" color scroller based on Wybron’s industry-standard Coloram® technology. This means highly accurate and faster color changes – all of the time.
In response to suggestions from top-level lighting designers, ETC has worked with Wybron engineers to make Revolution’s pioneering cartridge-style color scroller even better, with pin-point accuracy and higher speed. Wybron’s scroller technology combines with Revolution’s other great features to bring you the ultimate in "made-for-theater" automated lighting.Revolutions already in the field are not left out, either. A kit is now available for converting existing Revolutions to the new scroller. The kit comes with complete instructions and pre-loaded code and will take an estimated 30 minutes to install. It is important to note that the new scroller does not use the same mounting technique for color strings, so the previous template for color strings is no longer valid. The new template for scroller strings is included in the updated Revolution User Manual that ships with each new Revolution. It is also available here.
You will also notice another difference in new ‘Wybron Inside’ Revolutions. The standard 12-color scroll now contains a new complement of colors. One of the colors chosen for Revolution’s stock gel scroll is Rosco 361- Hemsley Blue. New York City Ballet Company lighting designer Mark Stanley says: "It’s a wonderful, cold blue that won’t turn muddy when dimmed." More importantly, though, Rosco donates the proceeds to the Hemsley Foundation, which benefits aspiring lighting design students. Hemsley Blue is named for Gilbert Hemsley, legendary lighting designer and educator. ETC is proud to support Rosco’s efforts on behalf of the Hemsley Foundation.

Rosco has announced the immediate availability of the LitePad.

LitePad™ is a slim profile light source that generates a soft even beam of light and almost no heat. Its small form factor and light weight make the LitePad™ perfect for use in many places where a larger, typical luminaire could not fit. Drawing just a few watts of power, LitePad is simple, fast and economical to use in film and television, theatre and live entertainment, and retail and event lighting.

We should have a demo unit in the Grand Rapids office by the end of the week.

Rosco has also released the Delta Hazer, and discontinued the Hazemaker and Hazemaker II. If you have any questions about fog or haze machines, please contact any of our offices.
