Also new is a Sidewinder Bluetooth Module that easily adds Bluetooth wireless functionality to the company's Sidewinder family of DMX interfaces.
With Figment 5.1 running on a Bluetooth-enabled PDA, Figment can be used to focus fixtures, tech moving lights, run show files, perform diagnostics, view console channel levels and more, by wirelessly connecting to a Sidewinder DMX interface that has been outfitted with a Sidewinder Bluetooth Module.
Adding a Bluetooth module to the Sidewinder DMX interface allows a PDA running Figment DMX with built-in Bluetooth communications to wirelessly connect to the DMX interface at distances up to 200ft (60m) and more without any additional cumbersome attachments to the handheld PDA.
"Adding Bluetooth wireless technology to our powerful Figment and Sidewinder combination gives our users new freedom to make the most out of their lighting control tasks," said Rob Johnston, president and director of engineering of Interactive Technologies. "One user may want to control lights that are two feet away and another will want to be 200ft away - but both of these users will be elated that they no longer have to be tethered to their PDA."
