an insight into what to expect in 2019

Protec have made some new investments with 2019 in mind
including the GrandMA3 full size which has already been out on
a couple of large events, and 4 MA3 Light consoles. Lighting designer
and HOD Aaron Russ tells us how these consoles will bring benefit
to both the lighting team and their clients.

Protec also invested in the Robe RoboSpot followspot ground
control system, 40 of ClayPaky’s Axcor 400 Profile fixtures and in the
video department the OmniCal camera system by ‘disguise’ (D3).
Scott Walker explained the benefits of this new addition to their
disguise range.
“ It is going to give us a whole new world of creative possibilities.
Updated hardware means more processing power, that means the
mathematical calculations and algorithms can be far more complex.
We are no longer bound to going from point A to point B. We can
program one hell of a detour in the middle and this has never before
been possible. The extra workspace, the now 8 display screens
(over the old 4 in the MA2 full-size) has totally changed the workflow,
all information is now much easier to access and this makes
programming much easier.” – Aaron Russ.

PROTEC – FIRST TO INVEST
IN GRANDMA3
“ We are very proud to congratulate Protec on being
the first to purchase the GrandMA3 consoles in the
Middle East and are happy that we can deliver these
solutions. This is one more important step in our long
lasting great relationship with Protec.”
– Egor Popovski, MA Lighting Middle East Regional Sales Manager.

“ The OmniCal system will cut down set-up time and give us more
flexibility in 3D mapping. This system will provide us with updated
point cloud data that will allow us to adapt our model mesh to match
precisely the real world object which will be great for complex 3D
mapping jobs with large quantities of projectors.” – Scott Walker.
Alongside their new compact K10 robots, a new addition to their
existing range in the past few months, the ‘Advanced Technology’
department have promised a few exciting surprises in the New Year
with some new technologies on the horizon.
