Also being demonstrated is Avolites' ART2000 dimming range. In particular, Avo will be illustrating how racks can be custom configured to client's specific requirements.
The Pearl 2010 sees Avolites introduce a new contemporary streamlined look for its global bestselling console. This will include new graphics and an ergonomically curved front and back, complimenting the physical aesthetics of the Pearl Expert and Pearl Tiger consoles.
Developed from the original D4 Operating System, Titan adds new features to the Diamond 4 and brings powerful features from the Diamond 4 to the Pearl Expert. All Titan based consoles offer powerful functions like Fixture Exchange, Clone Fixture and Multiple Timers.
Fixture Exchange makes it quick and easy to exchange fixtures from one type or manufacturer for another. Clone Fixture enables the adding of additional fixtures into a show even after extensive programming, with all cloned fixtures inheriting their properties from the source fixture. Both functions require the minimum effort to learn and use and can be performed off line using the Titan Simulator.
Titan Expert for the Pearl delivers Diamond 4 features including Multiple Times on Cues and Memories on Preset Faders.
It includes the new graphical user interface, Matrix, making 'off line' tasks like patching and cue management faster and more intuitive, both on the move and at the console. Titan Matrix can be installed on laptops, optimising time spent at the console for actual lighting design and programming, whilst allowing shows to be prepared on a laptop away from the console. Titan also includes improved Simulator panels for use on and off line.
Hands on demonstrations of Avolites consoles controlling media servers will be taking place live on the stand at PLASA, utilising products from Arkaos, Green Hippo and Coolux, plus the new Addict server from Pixel Addicts - in action at Eden, Ibiza and Matter, the new superclub at the O2 Arena opening in September. Avo consoles will also be working with 4 leading stage visualization packages including their own proprietary Visualiser, WYSIWYG, Capture and Lightconverse from the Ukraine.
Avolites is also working in conjunction with Tekk Space at PLASA. Tekk Space offers a crew web directory that is completely free for freelancers to register - offering a wide-ranging no-cost source of employment. Tekk Space will be signing up industry professionals on the Avolites Arcade Stand.
