ETC ColorSource 20

The ETC ColorSource 20 is a portable lighting control console built for fast, plug-and-play setup in theatres, houses of worship, schools, and event production. When you power up the console, it recognizes intelligent lights in the rig and auto-populates them in patch, helping you get from load-in to programming quickly.

A road case is included.

These portable desks specialize in streamlined, plug-and-play setup; when you power up a console, it recognizes intelligent lights in the rig and auto-populates them in patch. Simply use the onboard touchscreen drag each fixture into place on a customizable stage map, and you’ll be programming in minutes.

Fast Patch and Touchscreen-Based Programming

Use the 7” color multi-touch touchscreen to build a clear, customizable Stage Map and keep your rig organized while you work. Color and white pickers, touch-based parameter controls, and an extensive fixture library make it easier to control moving lights without slowing down to hunt through menus. Fixture Tags and 27 Quick Select groupings support quick selection for common tasks and repeated looks.

Hands-On Playback Control for Live Operation

ColorSource 20 is designed for shows that benefit from tactile faders and flexible playback. You get 20 channel/playback faders with color indication, plus four configurable function faders, so key looks and effects stay at your fingertips. The console supports one cue list with 999 cues and offers 10 pages of 20 or 40 playbacks that can be used as static memories or sequences. The Playback Toy enables filtered and timed execution of playbacks, and multiple bump modes (Flash, Solo, Solo Change, Move/Go) help you match the desk’s behavior to the operator and the show.
