City Theatrical highlights new technology
- Details
Live demos will include the Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM 2.4GHz system, including PLASA Award for Innovation winner Multiverse Transmitter 2.4GHz, the Multiverse Studio Kit for film and video, RadioScan Spectrum Analyser, and DMXcat Multi Function Test Tool, as well as QolorFLEX 5-in-1 and HiQ High CRI LED Tape, QolorFLEX Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM Dimmers, and other City Theatrical unique lighting accessories.
In addition to its special commendation in the 2019 PLASA Awards for Innovation, the Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM system was recognised as the winner of the Live Design Award for Best Debuting Product at the 2018 and 2019 LDI Shows in the USA, for the ability of the Multiverse Transmitter 2.4GHz to broadcast up to 10 universes of DMX data while using less radio energy than other single universe wireless DMX transmitters.
City Theatrical’s Multiverse Studio Kit is an all-in-one, battery-powered wireless DMX/RDM solution that offers reliable wireless DMX functionality with greater usability, making wireless DMX easier to install and use for film and video projects. Multiverse Studio Kit features contactless charging for its six Multiverse Studio Receivers, which each contain a long-life lithium-ion polymer battery giving 20 hours of use. Each Multiverse Studio Receiver features a full four button user interface with a backlit LED display, which makes setup easy and gives feedback on system performance, as well as a DMX corded connector, which allows the external antenna to hang below the lighting fixture for improved data fidelity.
Multiverse users can plan their wireless DMX broadcast using a RadioScan Spectrum Analyser as a frequency scanner, and set universes on each receiver from their smartphones using City Theatrical’s DMXcat app, which allows them to change their wireless DMX/RDM setup from anywhere on set, whether it is a lighting fixture with a Multiverse Module inside, a lighting fixture receiving its data from a Multiverse Node, or any wired fixture downstream of those devices. The Multiverse Transmitter is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing for communication and control from tablet-based Wi-Fi lighting controllers.
The QolorFLEX LED Tape line includes 40+ high quality tape options that help lighting designers put light in places that were once thought impossible and create lighting fixtures and effects in a new and inexpensive way. At PLASA Focus Leeds, City Theatrical will be demonstrating QolorFLEX 5-in-1 LED Tapes, which are offered in RGB plus Warm White or Amber plus Cool White colours. This LED tape has a high output brightness and all LEDs are identical to create a more even illumination.
City Theatrical will also be demonstrating its QolorFLEX HiQ LED Tape, which was designed to have a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 95, making it an ideal high CRI LED tape for the needs of the film industry. Available in three types (3200K, 6000K, and 2700K to 6500K in a single chip), HiQ LED Tape offers exceptional on-camera colour rendition and the ability to match the light sources already being used on set.
QolorFLEX LED Tapes connect easily to QolorFLEX Dimmers for ultra-smooth, flicker-free dimming. City Theatrical QolorFLEX Dimmers include a family of miniature low voltage wireless dimmers with Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM connectivity, which were recognized by LDI Show Awards as Best Debuting Product Awards.
QolorFLEX 2x2.5A Multiverse Dimmers are small, low voltage, constant voltage, two-output dimmers designed to be mounted in small spaces such as props, costumes, wands, and candles. QolorFLEX 5x2.5A Multiverse Dimmers are slightly larger and can be controlled wirelessly using City Theatrical’s Multiverse or SHoW DMX Neo wireless DMX/RDM technology, or with wired DMX, and provide 20-bit PWM resolution and 8-bit or 16-bit control for extremely smooth dimming at the low end of the dimming curve.
