The stand's central section is a practical hands-on 'mini TV studio', where competing LED washes, soft lights, key lights and moving lights can be explored in pre-booked one hour sessions, away from the bustle of exhibitor stands.

Visitors will be able to try their hand at lighting the two mini TV studio setups, and view the results through two HD broadcast cameras, with a Lighting Director and Electrician on hand to offer guidance.

An unusual alignment of the 4in1 LEDs accounts for this, according to the company, the key to the wide color palette being an unconventional assembly of the 18 multichip diodes. Besides RGB, 12 of the chips feature an additional white LED, while the remaining six are arranged as RGB and amber. Thanks to the interaction of these white and amber hues, the basic colors can gradually be reproduced warmer or colder. The design also allows a deep, luscious red - often a problem - to be created.

The amber LEDs also allow the creation of an orange which, says Steinigke, could not be created by other LED spot luminaires. "Although this orange might not be as powerful as the other colors, due to the restricted num

The biggest and brightest LED fixture introduced by Acclaim to date, the Rebel Band 600 is equipped with 104 high-power Rebel LEDs. It provides enough output and covers enough area to handle large-scale applications where LED fixtures typically haven't been used, such as washing 100' building façades.

With an IP-65 rating, the Rebel Band 600 is able to withstand rain and dust, so it can be used either indoors or outdoors. In addition to architectural applications, its precise light distribution and extremely even field make it perfect for high-impact stage scene settings, adds the company.

Palettes are very powerful when programming lighting, particularly if you need to quickly update a set of scenes at once.

The EasyTime timeline editor allows the user to simply programme their show by dragging and dropping various effects (constant levels, Curve, Gradiend, X/Y, video etc) onto a timeline. A Cycle is a cue list of scenes and switches - useful if you have a set of scenes and switches and wish to trigger these sequentially. Cycles are very easy to record and modify thanks to the new timeline editor, say Sunlite developer Nicolaudie.

At PLASA 2011, Nicolaudie will run a competition at the PLASA show this year. Each customer coming over to the stand for a basic demo of our products will go int
