Valladolid's Teatro Calderón advances in its transition to Led with ETC

The scenic space has completed its endowment with several equipment from the American manufacturer. It features 5 dimmers ESR3 48 Sensor 3, new ETR15AFR and ETR25 AFR modules, in addition to a monitoring system with Conductor and Concert.

With the arrival of Led technology to the stage lighting sector, large spaces are replacing their equipment with greener options, that reduce the energy expenditure of light and air conditioning, in addition to expanding the creative possibilities in terms of the use of color.

Sometimes, for theaters and auditoriums this is not a simple change since they have a large equipment of conventional luminaires that have meant an important investment. The move to Led technology becomes a process that can take years, in which both technologies will coexist for long periods.

This is the case of the Calderón Theatre of Valladolid, that has decided to prepare its installation so that both the Led and the conventional luminaires work optimally during the coming years. To do this, have had the solutions of Etc and its official distributor in Spain, Stonex.

With the focus on this new stage, has replaced the system of dimmers with which the space had for a long time 20 years. ETC's SmartRack model has been replaced and renewed, moving to Sensor 3, of the same brand, with Thrupower technology modules.

These make it possible to convert a regulation channel to a direct circuit., so that in any circuit you can connect both a conventional device and one with Led technology or discharge lamp. On the other hand, Stonex has worked for the improvement in the control infrastructure, adding Ethernet lines, fiber optics for wireless control and DMX, giving the Calderón Theater greater versatility.

The space has 5 dimmers ESR3 48 Sensor 3, new ETR15AFR and ETR25 AFR modules, in addition to a dimmer monitoring system with Conductor and Concert that allows to know any failure in the network.

For the control of the luminaires of the stage and patio of seats has opted for the versatile GIO and ION XE. Two options that offer endless possibilities in terms of color control in an intuitive and simple way.

To this combination is also added the ETCpad (Portable Access Device), a tool that allows the control of luminaires remotely by means of an industrial format tablet.

Thanks to this renewal in its control systems and connections, the Calderón Theatre in Valladolid advances in the transition to a new more efficient and green technology, that will allow you to reduce up to one 80% your energy expenditure.
