Also at the show is the new TCP-IP CueSystem a Networked cue light system which launched at ProLight + Sound earlier in the year. In an industry first, with the ever-increasing trend towards completely networked show control and lighting systems, the TCP-IP CueSystem bridges the gap for stage management environments.
The TCP-IP CueSystem uses the established ergonomic control platform with standard GDS outstations. Output nodes are then used for cue light channel distribution in the field all connected to a single network. Web server configuration from an internet viewer allows for configuration and patching of cue light channels. Storage and playback of cues for running a show can be simply created by taking snapshots of the control platform, or programming the system via the web server.
In addition, RS232 commands can be used to either control individual channels or trigger stored cues for simple connectivity to other show control systems.
Other ranges being exhibited at PLASA 2010 include, the multi-award winning BluesSystem and MainsSystem working lights, MotorControl - a four-way, modular motor control system, The Stage Managers Console and MOBAL, the award winning multi-functional Socapex fault diagnosis and correction tool.
