Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC) is an American manufacturer of theater, entertainment and architectural lighting [2]. The company was founded in 1975. by brothers Fred and Bill Foster [3] and as of 2023 operates in 13 countries [4]. The company is based in Middleton in the US state of Wisconsin [5]. Notable clients of ETC include Cirque du Soleil, the World Cup, Disneyland [6] and the Super Bowl [7]
Electronic Theatre Controls was founded in 1975 by brothers Fred and Bill Foster, with the help of their friends Gary Bewick and Jim Bradley [8]. All four of them were UW-Madison undergraduates [9]. The company began operation in the basement of Fred's flat with $500 [10] Their original goal was to bring the first solid-state microprocessor controlled lighting system into the Metropolitan Opera House [9] [11].
ETC pursued a significant expansion early on through their many acquisitions.
ETC manufactures a whole range of products and continues to sell some products from acquired companies (in many cases with a different design and under a different label). For example, transtechnik light control panels are now sold under the transtechnik by ETC label.
A prominent product within the company's portfolio is the Source Four. Unveiled in 1992. [17], this release represented a substantial milestone in the development of ellipsoidal spotlights [18]. As opposed to other attempts in the market, the Source Four featured a 15- to 35-mm zoom [18], complete pan and tilt functionality [18], a 24-frame color scroller [18], and an exclusive QuietDrive motor control [18]. Notably, ETC had incorporated the traditional four shutters of standard ellipsoidals into a remote-controlled module, allowing users to select additional modules like a color scroller, rotating wheel module, static wheel module, and an iris module [18]. These modules were autosensing, removing the need for patching or internal adjustments [18] In 2012, ETC introduced an LED version of their Source Four, removing the need for coloured gels [19]. Despite that, the original tungsten Source Four remains in production [20]
