Recently, Southeastern University enhanced the level of its TV broadcasts by adding four Ovation B-2805FC LED batten fixtures from CHAUVET Professional to its Bolin Studio.
Supplied by Barbizon Lighting, the RGBA-Lime battens replaced older fixtures that were not performing efficiently. Beyond the issue of reliability, however, the Ovation fixtures brought a new level of realistic color mixing to the university’s broadcast studio. Southeastern University’s broadcast department states that it was “sold on these fixtures,” because of their brightness and color mixing.
Mostly, the Ovation battens are used in the university’s studio, more or less as permanent fixtures. In addition to creating background washes on the RAW and Improv sets, they are used in a variety of classes on broadcast subjects. They are also occasionally taken out to off-campus conferences and events, along with the other Ovation battens in the university’s inventory. Since up to 10 sections of the battens can be controlled individually, students and faculty have a great deal of flexibility when using the fixtures in any setting.
