One of the innovations making its debut at LDI was the PRG GroundControl Remote Followspot System. Followspot control hasn’t changed for decades. It’s time to take the truss spot operator out of the truss and put him on the ground where it’s safer and more efficient to operate the followspot.
The PRG GroundControl System allows a technician to remotely operate a high output PRG Bad Boy Spot automated luminaire as a followspot from up to 2,000′ away. Designers now have total creative freedom to put followspots in places that were either previously unusable or involved complex rigging. With the GroundControl Remote Followspot System, the operator is on the ground so the physical footprint of the luminaire is just 30 inches round and weighs only 172 lbs. Because of this small footprint and low weight, luminaires can now be placed in a wide variety of positions.
