LightProcessor's two architectural digital dimming ranges - Dimension and Paradim - will also be on show. The Dimension 1210 wall-mounted dimmer is a single- or three-phase device, with MCB breakers on each circuit, user-replaceable triacs plus many other features. The new Dimension 3000 19" rack mounted dimmer will be seen at the ABTT show for the first time. This features 12 x 10A of dimming, changeable dimming laws, individually address DMX channels for each channel of the dimmer for patching, single- or three-phase device, with MCB breakers on each circuit and user-replaceable triacs.
The Paradim installation dimmers or the 19" touring range are a low-cost, six-scene, six-channel dimmer, available in 6 x 10A, 6 x 16A or 6 x 20A formats. They can be hard-wired or rack-mounted, single or three phase and encompass fire alarm settings and onboard scene memory. They are available as Patch Packs with Socapex on the front, 15A UK, Cee17. Touring versions of both Paradim and Dimension will also be highlighted on the stand.
Finally, the award winning W-DMX is a wireless DMX transceiver system broadly based on GSM (mobile phone) technology. The wireless side works in the 2.45GHz radio band alongside Bluetooth and similar IEEE 802.11 (W-LAN) compliant products. The products are all DMX512A and RDM ready, and the firmware can also be updated using a separate data channel, which is also used for system set up. Up to 8192 receivers can be controlled form one system, and there are four differing types of transmitter - the differences being primarily in the quantity of DMX universes that can be controlled: from 1 to 16 universes (8192 channels) of DMX can be deployed.
