In Chile, on 2015, four TV Studios inside a private television network’s brand-new building have been equipped with IFF Advanced Rigging Lighting Suspensions and QUARTZCOLOR lighting fixtures. In each studio has been installed manual pantographs and hoists, both trackable and fixed. The hoists are controlled by IFF controls. The result is an extremely versatile solution that allows quick and easy set changes.
