The speed of light: Complete Control

™

by ETC

ETC’s lighting control consoles and systems master the most ambitious lighting rigs

–

from

legions of conventional fixtures, to moving lights, media servers, LEDs, and more. We have a

console for every production or venue.

For lighting professionals devoted to the operational ‘DNA’ of ETC’s award-winning Eos

family,

the choice now includes not only the Eos, Ion

, and Element

™

consoles but the new Gio

™

The top of the line, the powerhouse Eos

–

is the winner of an industry triple crown of honors:

LDI, PLASA, and Showtech product of the year awards. Eos is aimed at venues with big work

to do

–

Broadway and West End shows, opera, TV, and beyond. The new Gio fills the mid-

range position in the family, between Eos and Ion, offering powerful Eos functionality in a

compact, portable footprint

–

to fit anywhere and to take on the road. For productions with

less ambitious budgets but still ambitious lighting to do, ETC offers the Ion, with the Eos

pedigree but geared to a smaller scale. The Element maintains the Eos operational style but

offers a simplified feature set in a stand-alone console, making it ideal for modest rigs that

need more basic hands-on fader control.

For time to play, plus speed and on-the-fly control, many lighting experts love the operational

style, big power and flexibility of ETC’s Congo

, Congo jr and the new Congo Kid

–

taking

their inspiration from the Avab console tradition and the lighting dynamics of rock and roll. No

lighting production is too creative for Congo (and Congo jr matches that functionality but in a

smaller size and with the flexibility to choose your fader quantity and setup). Congo Kid brings

the power of the Congo family to smaller systems with 40 built-in faders and all the features

of the full Congo software.

And for complete control over any rig the future may hold, the most comprehensive ACN

network

–

ETC’s Net3

™

–

is ready. Net3 protocol provides the best traffic management for

high capacity applications, speaking directly to complex devices, without the need for added

DMX hardware.
