Wybron, Apollo, ETC!

Wybron

Good news for iPhone and iPod Touch users:

An agreement has been reached to add Apollo patterns and color filters to Wybron’s Moiré Gobo Library and Gel Swatch Library iPhone apps. After Apple approves these revisions, which could take up to three weeks, new downloads of these apps would then include Apollo gobos and gel. Current owners of the apps will receive notification of these updates.

I’ve been playing with both the Moiré and Gel Swatch apps, and they’re great tools to have.

Moiré


Apollo

New from Apollo:

Now available is a DMX version of the Smart Move Jr. gobo rotator. Fitting conveniently into the ETC Source 4 Jr. fixture, the Smart Move Jr. DMX offers all the features of the Smart Move plus DMX control and indexing of one S4J size metal or glass pattern. List price $445.00.

Tracking for a record year in power supply sales signals that users are recognizing the efficiency and functionality of Apollo’s new Smart Power 200, 400, and 600. With an impressive feature set and list prices ranging from $695 – $1295, the Smart Powers provide more watts per dollar and exceptional value. Click here to check them out.

APOLLO DESIGN LOSES ITS NAMESAKE
With heavy hearts we announce the loss of our company’s beloved namesake. Apollo provided Joel & Keersten Nichols with great companionship for 23 years. While he no longer grazes the pastures of the Nichols’ homestead, Apollo’s name and image live on.

ETC

ETC has announced that they are officially taking orders for their new console, Element.

Based on ETC’s award-winning Eos® control system but with a simplified feature set in a stand-alone console, Element was designed expressly for modest rigs and maximum hands-on fader control. Affordable and easy to use, Element packs in the fundamentals of lighting control. Element comes in two hardware versions, based on fader count, to suit your rig. Each supports either 250 or 500 channels and two full universes of DMX output:

  • Element 40 – 250 Channels
  • Element 40 – 500 Channels
  • Element 60 – 250 Channels
  • Element 60 – 500 Channels

Element

With the release of Element, ETC has also changed the Ion console into a quotations only item. ETC is also responding to end-user feedback, and will include training as part of the Ion pricing.


Rosco has updated their Professional’s Guide to Projection Screens.
