The latest addition to ALE's Rack Pack range, dVnet is aimed squarely at retail and architectural applications in which a media facade or light sculpture is to be controlled by video, and the complexity of a media server is not required.

The VC Series of LED video products combines an all-new level of simplicity with a high level of quality. Instead of relying on DMX, these new creative LED video elements are driven by Martin's award-winning P3 System Controller family for true video control with superb ergonomics and easy set up. So no need to worry about stuttering, uneven dimming or lack of synchronization (as with many DMX-driven solutions). VC-Strips -Grids and -Dots are ideal for integrating LED video into a façade, stage design, ceiling, lobby or any other structure (indoors or out), says the company.

The new VC-Strip family of narrow LED video strips features a pixel-pitch of 25 mm and is available in various lengths up to 400 mm. Th
