Shaw Park Cultural Center

Location: Shaw Park, Tobago

Installation Time: One day

Project Overview

CET supplied, configured, and commissioned a new ETC Gio @5 lighting console and ETC network node for the 3,000-seat Shaw Park Cultural Center.

The Client’s Vision

The venue’s aging ETC Eos console, previously supplied and serviced by CET for many years, eventually failed after prolonged operation in Tobago’s saline and corrosive environment. CET provided a temporary replacement console while assessing the legacy unit and arranging a modern, long-term solution.

System Design

The ETC Gio @5 console controls several hundred theatrical lighting fixtures throughout the venue’s dynamic 3,000-seat performance space. The system supports multiple control and distribution technologies, including DMX, Art-Net, legacy dimming systems, and modern intelligent lighting fixtures.

Key Features and Project Highlights

• Compact and portable lighting console suitable for the venue’s operational requirements.
• Advanced programming capabilities for theatrical productions, cultural events, concerts, and other live performances.
• Control of several hundred conventional and intelligent lighting fixtures.
• Compatibility with DMX, Art-Net, legacy dimming, and network-based lighting systems.
• Integration with an ETC Art-Net network node for flexible signal distribution.
• Preset programming that allows the venue’s technical team to prepare and recall lighting configurations efficiently.
• CET supplied a loaner console to maintain the venue’s operations while the legacy console was being assessed and repaired.
• The new console was delivered, installed, configured, and commissioned within one day.

Customer Response

The Shaw Park technical team was excited to receive the new console. It was unpacked, installed, and configured immediately, and the team was especially pleased with its preset capabilities.
