The Sydney studio is quite a challenge for the lighting people with two sides of the studio being glass walls; therefore, they have to contend with changing light levels and colour temperature throughout the days, keeping in mind the studio is in use from 6am in the morning to the late hours of the evening. The extremely high output and possibilities of controlling the De Sisti fluorescents both for dimming directly via DMX512 and also beam control via the accessory egg-crates that are available make them an ideal tool for the lighting directors, say CDA.
Peter Kemp, CDA's managing director, visited the new studio and viewed the broadcast of the 10.30am news with Channel 7's John Norton. The only lighting for the new set was the De Sisti fluorescents and John Norton informed Kemp that they where extremely pleased with the results achieved with the products.
