LightProcessor will launch the first models in a new range of Dimension Series dimmers. This range is specifically designed to offer a combination of features and performance not normally available at this price level. The D610 six-channel dimmer is available for both wall and truss mounting, in both dim and switch versions. The D1810 and the D2410, 18- and 24-channel dimmers, are easy to install and therefore the ideal choice for larger scale architectural and entertainment applications, also offering MCBs as standard, with an RCD option. Also from LightProcessor is the new Paradime Distro System, a semi-custom distribution allowing quick and easy connection of Paradime Dimmers into complete ready-to-run systems. Finally, following the successful 36-channel Paradime Touring system, LightProcessor is releasing the 18- and 24-channel variants.
The Lightfactor stand will be lit almost exclusively with the popular SGM Giotto 400 fixtures, now part of a full range of fixtures as Wash and Profile variants join the already well-known Spot model. Arguably the best all-round product line available, all SGM Giotto fixtures are based around the same chassis, electronics and mechanical drive trains, and differ only in their optically led feature packages. SGM’s Regia lighting console family includes three models designed to meet specific requirements, Opera (for theatre), Live (for touring) and Pro (for club, television, etc). These consoles offer many advanced features and are totally compatible with SGM’s Studio Series and Pilot 2000 libraries. All three versions are designed to offer lighting operators and designers a familiar and easy-to-use interface. The status of any moving head fixture, scanner, colour-changer or conventional luminaire can be checked at a glance.

Import filters for most standard formats are included, and gobos can be created by directly writing on the projection area, or by adding text onto the images. Images and text can then be resized, mirrored, turned, etc, The finished design is printed onto standard transparency film in any ink-jet computer printer and simply cut out and inserted into the gate of the Soffio.
