ENTECH SYDNEY
VIDEO CONTENT
Entech 2013 took place on 23-25 July at Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre overlooking Darling Harbour for the final time, as the complex is due to be demolished at the end of this year. The show certainly went out of Darling Harbour on a high breaking all previous show records. A total of 4,705 unique visitors attended the show with the overall attendance including revisits totaling 5,469. The figures represent a 17% increase for interstate visitors and an overall 5% increase on the previous show. Following the success of Entech’s co-location with SMPTE in 2011, the two shows ran side by side again. However, this year the event - which also incorporated The Australian Commercial and Entertainment Technologies Association (ACETA) and the Australian Lighting Industry Association (ALIA) - was branded as the Australian Entertainment Technology Week and boasted a number of new features. To entice visitors show organiser, Exhibitions & Trade Fairs (ETF) launched Entech Technicians’ Lunch Series hosted on different days by Bose and Show Technolo- gy, as well as a visitor networking evening sponsored by Bose. While ACETA held a forum for students to help build their careers in entertainment technology and introduced the ACETA Hall of Australian Manufacturers, a space which was dedi- cated to showcasing innovative products and services offered by leading Australian designers and manufacturers to the visitors. A Music Products Zone was also set up at the show, a scheme that allowed music product companies to have a pres- ence in the entertainment technology market with little financial investment. Something that was high on the agenda for ETF was an extensive and informative seminar programme. The schedule of 40 seminars - which attracted almost 1,000 attendees - ran for the duration of the show and covered each aspect of entertain-

ment technology including lighting, projection, video, audio, trussing, rigging and design. Industry figures lined the panels during many of the sessions and iconic projects were used as case studies to demonstrate and educate the attendees, among the most popular were the Sydney Opera House and King Kong. On the show floor itself D.A.S. Audio was exhibiting with its new distributor in Aus- tralia, Edwards Sound Systems. The manufacturer had teamed up with the Sydney based company just a month before the show, although the same company has been representing D.A.S. Audio in New Zealand for many years. A brand new company took a stand at Entech 2013 as it had some very important news to announce. The formation of Entertainment Technology Australia (ETA) marked the re-launch of SGM into the Australian market and Director of ETA, Dave Croxton was extremely pleased with reaction from visitors. He said: “The re-launch is in line with the company’s overall vitalisation after Peter Johansen took on SGM. I think people are really pleased to see a new direction in lighting with the innovative products that SGM is releasing. We’ve had a strong response to the products and it’s certainly created a buzz in the Australian market.” ULA Group had new products on display from Robe including Robin Pointe, Robin MMX Blade, Robin Cyclone, as well as the MDG M3e and the MDG ATMe fog and haze machines. ULA also launched and presented VuePix TV for the first time in Australia, a seamless LED display that comes with 4mm high contrast resolution and high brightness levels. The al-4 subcompact line array from VUE Audiotechnik and the SSL Live console were on display for the Australian market on the Amber Technology stand, while Technical Audio Group used a sushi-style train to showcase its latest offerings
