The third generation controller, which can be built up into a zoned installation by adding slave units over copper and/or fibre optic connections, is well established in the PA/VA market and features on recent high-profile projects such as the Signal Iduna Park football stadium in Dortmund and Zurich railway station.
PA/VA installations for sports stadia and transport termini continue to grow in scale so all areas can be covered to ensure passengers and staff receive messages and information relevant to them. Switch mode has been added to the IDA8 family to make this possible and to increase the IDA8 system flexibility whilst providing more cost effective installations.

The fully automated system, housing an Osram HTI 1000 W/PS 1000W metal halide lamp, will receive its world debut.
Housed in an IP20, high temperature engineered plastic chassis, the fixture boasts several advantages over competitive models.

Highlights of the powerful feature-set are seven rotating gobos and seven fixed gobos; a three-fact prism, soft frost and fire effect wheel, and a linear zoom with range of 9°-47°.
Other features include: 2800K-6500K linearly adjustable colour temperature; smooth CYM colour mixing system, plus CTO with m
