This year L.L.C. Production Resource Group (PRG) is showcasing cutting-edge innovative developments that continue to provide practical yet inventive solutions to unique production challenges. PRG understands that true innovation must enable producers, designers, gaffers, cinematographers and technicians to work smarter – to achieve more, with greater efficiency, at lower costs. One of the innovations making their debut at LDI is the PRG GroundControl ™ Remote Monitoring System ™. Follow-up control has not changed for decades. Time to take the trussy follower to put him on the ground where he is safest and most efficient to operate the follower. The PRG GroundControl System allows a technician to remotely operate a PRG Bad Boy® automated luminaire as a tracker from up to 2000 feet away. Designers now have complete creative freedom to put followers in previously unusable locations or incorporate them into complex rigging’s. With the GroundControl remote monitoring system, the operator is on the ground so the fixture’s footprint is only 30 inches round and it weighs just 172 pounds. Due to this small size and low weight, the luminaires can now be placed in a wide variety of positions.
