New Lighting System!

During August through October of 2007, Alaska Center for the Performing Arts upgraded their theatrical lighting control system. The new ETC system includes a fiber-optic backbone between major components, along with an extensive Ethernet network throughout each theatre. This new Ethernet network allows any DMX device to be easily added to the system and be controlled from the three new ETC Eos lighting control console and gives leased events the flexibility to bring their own lighting control console and DMX devices. ACPA is the first theatre in the country to have three of these consoles.  A wireless hand-held remote unit allows the stage lighting crew to work untethered throughout facility.
