Fixed and variable speed control of Prodigy hoists
The powerful Foundation HD controller allows you to easily create and run preprogrammed shows at the touch of a button. For multipurpose stages, presets can be used to create and restore specific stage configurations for recurring events, like movie nights, speeches, or band rehearsals. Stage technicians used to working with other controllers — such as lighting consoles — will find Foundation’s user interface familiar and accessible.
The Foundation HD rigging controller is the user interface behind any ETC Prodigy® variable-speed or hybrid (fixed-speed and variable-speed) rigging system. It controls up to 48, 96 or 192 fixed- and variable-speed motors, while ensuring maximum safety and providing continuous system diagnostics. Foundation controllers are intelligent operating stations that trigger the intricate ‘ballet’ of the battens: motors moving concurrently up and down; manual operation and individual- or multiple-batten movements; target moves that take the battens to specified trim positions; presets that recall target positions for one or multiple motors; ‘cue stacks’ that run a preprogrammed show; time- or speed-based cues that allow for individual motor parameters and ramp times.
The Foundation Handheld Remote 2 gives you the flexibility to control your foundation system from a distance. Use as a client to your existing Foundation HD system or your Foundation Desk to manually move hoists, program and playback presents, and playback cues.
Designed for performance venues with a large complement of hoists, motorized acoustic devices and curtains, Foundation Handheld Remote 2 controls up to 48 axes when used with a Foundation HD or Desk and as many as 192 axes when used with a Foundation Server system.
Foundation Handheld Remote 2 connects to any one of multiple control locations with seamless, on the fly handover between controllers. Additional line-of-sight flexibility can be achieved through the use of the optional Remote Go Pendant, and external E-Stop stations.
