Following its success at ProLight and Sound and PLASA Focus earlier in the year, GDS will again exhibit the newest addition to its product portfolio, the TCP-IP CueSystem an industry first, networked cue light system. 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.
Also at the show GDS will showcase MainsSystem. This is a mains voltage version successful BluesSystem. The LED performance working light range consists of two fittings, MainsBeam and MainsDome, useable throughout the world, with voltage ranging from 80VAC to 240VAC.
Other ranges being exhibited include, BluesSystem, LiteWare HO (High Output) a high output version of the LiteWare range, offering 80Watts of LED power, MotorControl a four-way, modular motor control system, The Stage Managers Console and MOBAL, the multi-functional Socapex fault diagnosis and correction tool.
