ETC debuts two fixtures

The Source Four LED Series 3 is the third generation of ETC’s colour mixing LED fixture. Boasting an eight-colour mixing system that includes deep red LEDs, the series includes the Lustr X8 array for nuanced colours and the Daylight HDR array for tunable white light. The manufacturer has added wireless DMX/RDM by integrating City Theatrical’s Multiverse protocol and NFC configuration using a mobile device and ETC’s Set Light app. Multiverse can broadcast as many as 10 universes of DMX from a single transmitter without excessive radio energy and frees up wireless bandwidth.

The newly designed XDLT lens tubes provides “the ultimate brightness from every location”. They can be hung in a box boom, on a catwalk or from the farthest back of house position. The tubes output up to 13,000 lumens, reduce light leak and produce near-zero chromatic aberration.

The Desire Fresnel comes with an eight-colour array, wireless DMX/RDM, an intuitive user interface and NFC configuration through the Set Light app. Four backlit encoders change colours to correspond to the attributes they control on the screen. ETC has redesigned how the lamp and lens work together so users can get more light through the entire zoom range. According to the manufacturer, this provides more lumens regardless of angle, making it up to 25% more efficient over traditional Fresnel optical systems. Desire Fresnel has zoom control from either the front or the back of the fixture.
