Lighthouse will be showing its Rn4-B 4mm and Rn6-B 6mm high-resolution rental LED panels. Featuring black LEDs mounted in black-faced panels, both benefit from quiet fanless operation and Lighthouse's M4 colour uniformity technology and high contrast ratio, with straightforward configuration and maintenance.

The screens' high-resolution pixel pitch is designed for close-up viewing, making them suitable for digital signage, as well as other display situations where space is tight.

The Lighthouse booth will also feature the LCM interface processor and a range of Optiled's LED lighting products.

Kris Vermuyten, commercial director of APart comments, "We are very pleased to announce the addition of the APart products into the library. Many audio professionals across the world use Stardraw Audio for their system design. They now have the CAD-drawings of all our speakers and electronics within the click of a mouse, which will ease their workload considerably.

"Thanks to an 'intelligent environment'-feature, an installer can design a system in block or pictorial schematic mode, and a detailed rack layout is created automatically. An integration with Excel means bills of materials, quotations and cable schedules can be generated from any design. New product information from manufacturers is turned into symbols and distributed into m

The frequency with which DMX and DALI systems are being used together is continually increasing and has now become common practice. The need to control DALI fixtures with DMX controllers has similarly increased and become more sophisticated, to the point where simple conversion is no longer adequate.

The new requirement is for a DMX controller that can control DALI fixtures in the way they have been designed to operate, rather than trying to force a DALI fixture to behave like a DMX fixture. DALI is slow in comparison to DMX and therefore has more of a control structure than DMX which must be taken into consideration at the product design stage.

Rail-DMX-DALI has been designed with this knowledge, combined with customer feedback, to giv

"Intelix has a long history providing USB extension solutions; however, the AVO-USB is the first product which combines an extremely compact form-factor with professional-grade performance.

Prior to the AVO-USB, remote USB devices such as cameras, printers, scanners, keyboards, and mice were limited to only 16ft via direct USB cables or required expensive secondary network equipment. Using the AVO-USB, remote device
