AUSTRALIA: Lighting designer and video content producer Paul Collison utilised MA Lighting International’s new onPC command wing to control the lighting in the main arena at the recent Sydney Royal Easter Show.
‘I was really keen to give it a go on this show,’ Mr Collison commented. ‘It allows you to have hard buttons, knobs and faders to control grandMA2 onPC software which is basically grandMA2 on your computer. Now, rather than trying to put in a “large” console in a control room where there is no space, I’ve got the compact MA onPC command wing.’
Mr Collison also utilised a grandMA2 console to program the show, switching to the MA onPC command wing for replay. ‘It’s not too dissimilar to using an actual console and I was surprised at how easily I took to it,’ he admitted. ‘I think that it will be a fantastic tool for the touring lighting designer who goes from show to show never quite sure of what console they’re going to get.’
