Germany - Responding to demand for more of its Selador LED lighting fixtures, ETC has introduced two bold colour spectrum specific versions: Fire and Ice.

Fire features a warm wash of saturated reds, oranges and ambers never before seen from LEDs or gels. Ice provides, in one fixture, a palette of deep indigo, blue, cyan, green (and a touch of red) - the gamut of blue washes that designers seek for their lighting plots. Integral to the new Selador Vivid lineup, Fire and Ice offer these rich, lush colours while equalling or exceeding the brightness performance of conventional tungsten PAR fixtures and saving dramatically on electricity.

In a typical colour application, Fire and Ice fixtures produce more light and consume less than 70 watts of power compared to their gelled tungsten counterparts at 575 watts. Changes in LED technology have also prompted ETC to upgrade its popula

Germany - Kreios G, the new LED luminaire by Osram is billed as the first LED module suitable for use in gobo projectors. Kreios G replaces the traditionally used 50W halogen luminaires.

Kreios G has a light output of 600lm and is therefore ideal for numerous applications of projectors in spot lighting and special effect lighting, says the company. Higher output levels are also possible within almost unchanged dimensions of the luminaire. In contrast to conventional light solutions due to the LED lights' long durability, the light source in a gobo projector will only need to be changed occasionally. Combined with the savings in energy costs, operating costs can be significantly reduced. The higher initial investment into the LED solution pays off during the term of usage.

Kreios G is a further addition to the OSRAM Kreios range which includes LED modules for film, studio and t

Austria - Lawo, manufacturer of mixing consoles and routing systems, and Optocore are planning closer cooperation in the future, following the successful completion of their first project in Salzburg, Austria. For this, Optocore developed a 'Lawo Emulation Mode', which enables a Lawo console to communicate with Optocore I/O units. This new development allows the Lawo console to receive audio signals and control Optocore preamps.

The installation of a Lawo mc²66 console, and its accompanying transition from analogue to digital mixing console technology, was the focus of modernisation at Mozarteum University last year. This will enable faster workflow and digital networking of the complete building.

"The mc²66 is a reliable console and provides excellent audio quality. Its success in radio stations, theatres and concert houses certainly tipped the balance in favour of Law
