Zero 88 Set to Release New Console, ORB XF at ABTT

At the Association of British Theatre Technicians Show, (ABTT), happening this week in London England, Cooper Controls and Zero 88 are gearing up to announce the next console in the ORB series of consoles.  The new desk, the ORB XF is designed for professional users requiring hands on live control. Taking the key operating philosophies of ORB, ORB XF adds fader control for intensity channels and live submaster playback, making it ideal for control of live events. Combining theatrical syntax and an interactive hardware platform, ORB XF provides intuitive control of both generic dimmers and moving lights.

Additional information about the ORB XF is still in the works and is expected to be announced before ABTT opens on Wednesday, June 16.

ABTT Show Starts This Week

Another week, another trade show is happeing some where in the world.  Last week was InfoComm, this week brings the ABTT or The Association of British Theatre Technicians in London England.  The ABBT show takes place at the Royal Horticultural Halls starting Wednesday, June 16th and ending Thursday June 17th. The show opens at 10:30am on Wednesday and 10am on Thursday.  You can still register for the show on site in Lindley Hall near the Vincent Square entrance.

This is just another show that I wish I could make, but a large body of water prevents that!  With almost 100 exhibitors, British and European techs will have plenty to look at and learn at the show. Peter Kirkup, our friend from England and product manager for Zero 88 will be attending and hopefully give us some insight into the show.  Learn more about ABTT and the ABTT Show by visiting www.abtt.org.uk and www.abtttheatreshow.co.uk.
