LAS VEGAS – For the Interactive Achievement Awards at the D.I.C.E. Summit, honoring video game designers within the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino here Feb. 6, LD and programmer Chris Lose pixelmapped the entire stage with stock graphics and custom content cued by a grandMA2 console. The pixelmapping enhanced sets crafted by creative director Chris Wu. The console also drove the lighting rig, which included Clay Paky Alpha Spot HPE 1500 fixtures. Lose used the same brand of fixtures and console for AVN Awards, held a few weeks earlier at the same casino.
ETC’s Cobalt 10 lighting console shares some of the same features as the company’s larger Cobalt 20 desk, including short commands and on-the-fly lighting control.

Those compact dimensions are also a boon for fitting the Cobalt 10 into control rooms with limited space.
