Control System: ETC Unison Paradigm

Project Manager: Tyler Martin

System Designer: David Neal, Christie Lites Sales, Vancouver

Project Scope:

The original Architectural Lighting Control system was three separate Strand Premiere systems; 1 for each venue. System consisted of single, dual, 4, 5, and 8 button stations, LCD screen controllers, and a fader/button station. Work lights were controlled through “AV” light-up switches on custom-made 16” x 16” wall panels. The replacement project, changing to the Unison Paradigm, consists of installing 3 separate systems (1 for each venue).
