ETC
ETC Expands Unison Echo family
As energy codes grow, consumers need more reliable, flexible and affordable power-control solutions for lighting systems. ETC developed the Unison Echo® family of products to meet those demands and to enable complete integration of control systems. With the addition of EchoAccess™ and the DMX Scene Controller – both of which are compatible with all currently shipping Echo hardware – you can configure and customize self-contained systems, presets and zones while maintaining system-wide control. Existing Echo products have also been updated in terms of capabilities and features in order to better meet energy codes, such as ASHRAE 90.1, CA Title 20/24 and IECC.
EchoAccess is ideal for those looking to utilize the full capabilities of the Echo lighting system. Consisting of a Bluetooth® interface and a mobile app, EchoAccess allows you to remotely configure and control lighting zones, presets and color with Android or iOS devices. Another powerful addition to the Echo family, the DMX Scene Controller uses snapshot technology to capture lighting looks and save them for recall by Inspire® stations, simplifying customization and control of individual zones and fixtures. Combined with EchoAccess, the DMX Scene Controller allows for lighting hue, saturation and color to be modified locally or remotely. Together, EchoAccess and the DMX Scene Controller create completely integrated lighting systems with self-contained controls that can be part of a larger system, ideal for schools, office buildings, sports facilities and other installations.
Also, coming soon to the Echo product family is the Echo Expansion Bridge. The Echo Expansion Bridge will be available to order in summer 2016.
