The latest Eos software update provides a comprehensive toolbox for rapid selection and mixing of colours
The Netherlands - ETC is preparing for the next trade show in their busy calendar, with Amsterdam's IBC on 11-15 September, coming up soon.

The company's main draw for the show, which is geared towards professionals engaged in the creation, management and delivery of entertainment and news content, are set to be the Source Four LED Series 2 Tungsten HD and Daylight HD fixtures. Specially designed to produce the best quality white light in cool (4000-6500K) or warm (2700-4500K) ranges, each is tuned for high definition use, eliminating any on-camera flicker. They have already been installed at a range of studios worldwide, including Israel's Channel 1 news studio in Jerusalem, where the technical staff and presenters were impressed by the flicker-free performance, low heat and impressive light output.

Alongside the two white light engines on the stand, the full-colour, high power Source Four LED Series 2 Lustr will also be available for demonstration. This new generation of Source Four LED provides even brighter and more accurate colour than ever before - while, of course, consuming less power than its traditional equivalents.

Visitors will also be able to see the versatility of the Source Four LED system: because any of the three light engines can be combined with the critically-acclaimed CYC and Fresnel adapters, two zoom lenses or any one of the nine angles of fixed focus lens tubes, stock control can be a breeze. Simply clip on the different attachment, and you have a completely different use for your fixture engine.

The Source Four LED lenses and accessories are also compatible with the newest addition to the ETC LED family: ColorSource Spot. On show at IBC alongside its award winning sibling, ColorSource PAR, both are designed for situations where quality light output on a low budget is key.

ETC's Eos family will represent the control desk side of the stand, with the latest Eos software v2.3 available for demonstration. This latest software includes revolutionary new colour space options, as well as improved gel matching.
