Lighting is a hands-on business, but the latest technology is often out of reach for
students. To address this issue, ETC is offering a special lighting controls package
exclusively to students and educators. The ETCnomad Student Package, now
available from ETC dealers, allows students and teachers to purchase a 512
ETCnomad software key and a Gadget II USB to DMX/RDM interface for the usual
price of just the Gadget alone.
The software key unlocks fully-functioning, professional Eos® and Cobalt® software
for Mac or PC, while the Gadget allows a computer to output two universes of DMX
to the rig. Armed with a laptop and these small-but-mighty devices, students can
hone their skills, supplement the equipment at their schools, colleges, universities
or local theatres, and go out into the world with their own, portable ETC lighting
control system.
This global offer extends to primary, secondary and university-level students and
teaching staff and to individuals in apprenticeship or internship programs. To qualify
for the Student Package, students and educators must submit a completed
application form and a copy of a student ID or other proof of current enrolment or
employment to their local ETC dealer or distributor. The offer is open to students of
all ages, though minors require a parent or guardian to sign off on the order form.
As part of the order process, students are encouraged to register for a free MyETC
account, which grants access to an online dashboard of video classes, notification of
local training events, end-user forums, and technical information about ETC
products. Once purchased, the ETCnomad Student Package never expires. Students
can continue to use the bundle – and expand the software – post-graduation as they
establish their professional careers – with ETC’s technical community there to
support them.
