ETC has launched the new RigPOV camera accessory option, compatible with multiple automated luminaires from ETC. The RigPOV camera attaches directly to a fixture, streaming live video from the rig to Eos consoles and other third-party control solutions.

Automated Lighting Product Manager Matt Stoner says, “With RigPOV, users get a new point of view from their rig. This view of the stage helps inform the design process, while reducing the need to operate heavy machinery in the rafters or constantly run up and down stairs to see the stage from the balcony.”

RigPOV uses NDI technology for reliable video streaming and low latency. Compatibility with Eos consoles with Eos v3.3 as well as third-party manufacturers makes RigPOV an ideal tool for programming as well as remote followspot operation. Customers can now place a fixture order for High End Systems Lonestar, Hyperstar, Halcyon Gold, Halcyon Titanium, or Halcyon Platinum with the RigPOV add-on.

“Spaces like theatres, concert venues, schools, and film sets would all benefit from having a more accessible, heightened view of the stage with the help of RigPOV. It makes the design process both safer and more convenient,” says Tania Lesage, ETC Market Manager.

RigPOV is easy to install and matches the standard automated luminaire warranty when installed on a new fixture.
