Ptarmigan, the Hong Kong-based lighting integrator, in association with San Francisco design house, Lightswitch Architectural, has been honored at the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Awards Gala held last week in Austin, Texas.

The companies received a special citation in the Control Innovation Award category, sponsored by the Lighting Controls Association. The project that caught the judges' attention is the Bubble Theatre at Macau's City of Dreams Resort, a multimedia audio/visual/lighting experience. The show, entitled Dragon's Treasure required a huge and complex control system, involving two media servers, Ethernet-DMX merging and over a hundred universes of data.

"We are particularly pleased to be recognized in this way," comments Ptarmigan founder, Simon Fraser. "The Control Innovation Award is a new category for this year, reflecting the vital role that controls are playing in many commercial lighting design projects. It's fantastic to be one of the first recipients of this important award."
