MELBOURNE– The Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) at the University of Melbourne has just gotten an ETC Gio lighting desk to use for its production course. The Gio uses ETC’s hardware and software to deliver sophisticated effects, including pixel mapping and media-server control. The lighting control system offers a direct, intuitive operational style and can instantly recognize ETC syntax.
“The addition of the Gio console ensures our students can experience the very latest in lighting control consoles,” commented Joseph Mercurio, lecturer in Performance Technology. “Having these up-to-date technical resources ensures students leave the VCA job ready and experienced.”
“The Gio is easy to learn, due to ETC’s operating system,” remarks student Leslie Ding, “and it means we know one of the most common consoles in use; in fact we can be employed as Eos, Gio and Ion operators.”
The VCA continues to invest in the latest lighting technology. “The goal is to have the latest equipment available to students, so they can reach their potential and be ready for the industry upon graduation,” says Mercurio. “The Gio is designed for those looking for sophisticated control in a manageable, road-ready package.”
Gio includes two integral, articulating multitouch displays and supports up to three external displays, all of which can also be multitouch.
