1967 . . . ...saw
Electronics Diversified, Inc. incorporate to manufacture a solid-state
SCR dimming system, designed under the direction of Don Cameron
and Arthur P. Horne. Cameron’s theatrical experience and Horne’s electrical
ability were combined to produce the SCRimmerTM lighting control
system (from SCR dimmer). EDI was the first to manufacture reliable
solid-state touring dimmers and the first manufacturer to use opto-isolators
in a dimmer. The SCRimmer earned EDI a reputation for manufacturing
a sturdy and reliable lightweight portable dimming system. Many original
SCRimmer units are still in service. This tradition of quality
and rugged construction is still clearly visible in the complete EDI
product line.
1973 . . . ...saw
EDI move to its industrial park, located 10 miles west of Portland,
Oregon, where it presently occupies 50,000+ square feet of manufacturing
space. The manufacturing complex includes engineering, research &
development, production assembly, test, quality control, complete
metal fabrication, silk screen and finishing. Raw materials are delivered,
sheared, punched, cleaned, painted, assembled, tested and crated in
our facility. EDI is virtually the only manufacturer in the performance
equipment industry with true 100% company-owned vertical integration
of its manufacturing and development process. EDI has built a 30-year
reputation for innovation and quality. The first electronic dimmers,
and memory system (LS-8), used on Broadway to light the original
New York musical production, "A Chorus Line", was manufactured
by EDI. This control system can still be seen at the Boston Computer
Museum after many years and literally thousands of reliable service
on the Broadway production. Continuing a tradition of manufacturing
firsts, in 1975 EDI mass-produced dimmer-per-circuit dimmer banks
(DPCTM)
for theatrical applications.
