ADB Lighting Set To Release LIBERTY & FREEDOM Control Desks

ADB Lighting will unveil at Prolight+Sound, Frankfurt a. M., Germany (Hall 9.0 Stand C50) LIBERTY and FREEDOM, two advanced lighting control desks, based on the very powerful HATHOR software platform previewed earlier this year. These two desks are unique in the sense they have been specifically designed for theatre stage lighting, without any compromise to cover other applications, as it is often the case with so called multipurpose consoles.

LIBERTY is the spot-on solution for space-challenging environments and any cost-conscious venue seeking a fully integrated solution to control conventional and moving lights as well as LED sources and other modern equipment in a compact and portable package with the capacity of much larger and more expensive lighting consoles.

FREEDOM offers the ideal solution when more multi-parameter instruments need to be controlled and fast access is required. The desk allows users to control large quantities of multiple LED fittings, intelligent lights or media servers as well as standard generic dimming systems. Features includes four additional rotary wheels with push button function, a set of special keys to manipulate moving lights, and a super smooth, large size trackball for precision positioning control.

Update: ADB Lighting HATHOR Desk PHOTO

I got a lovely little surprise in my inbox after coming back from lunch.  Looks like a reader has seen the HATHOR console or possibly knows some one at ADB lighting to be sending this along.  What can we tell from this photo?  It seems as though the codenamed HATHOR desk coming from ADB Lighting has at least one integrated touchscreen and has the ability to record, look and chaser.  All good qualities of a desk! What else… not much, what do you think?

I guess we’ll just have to wait till next week at ProLight + Sound to see more of the desk.

Rumor Confirmed: ADB Lighting to Preview New Desk at ProLight + Sound

ADB Lighting out of Belgium is preparing to preview a “new generation control desk” as ProLight + Sound next week in Frankfurt Germany. ADB will be showing of a prototype of their multi-modal lighting and video flagship desk codenamed HATHOR.

So what makes this new desk so revolutionary? Here is what little ADB is saying about the desk thus far.

Advanced features include a graphics based user interface with support for up to eight multi-touch screens, advanced luminaire and fixture tracking facilities, state of the art lighting cue transfer control, flexible user configuration and customization, and unlimited capacity and full scalability.

The new controller is a professional theatre and television studio ‘concept’ desk that will be the flagship of the ADB lighting controller range, integrating control of conventional luminaires, moving lights, matrixes, LED, video and architectural control embracing all available protocols.

Looks like ADB is holding this one close as they are not even releasing a photo of the concept desk.  If you are attending ProLight + Sound next week, make sure to stop by the ADB Lighting stand at B36, Hall 11.1.  Maybe by that time, ADB will update their web site, www.adblighting.com with more information.
