The show will be the UK preview of the new LightProcessor Dimension 3000 dimmer, aimed at all touring applications. Available in 10 or 16A modules, it features an onboard 12-scene memory, all the standard dimming curves, individually DMX-addressable channels and many other elements. It's available in single- or three-phase versions, and has been designed practically with easy access for servicing and parts replacement, say the company. Also on show will be LightProcessor's series of DMX signal processing products, including the QDMuX, QStore, QMerge and QBuffer - the latter available in both truss and 19" rack-mounting version.
The award winning W-DMX from Wireless Solutions 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 8,192 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: 1, 4, 8 or up to 16 universes (8192 channels) of DMX can be deployed. A working demo of W-DMX will be in action on the stand, running the SGM Palco and Ribalta fixtures.
SGM's Palco is an LED colour-changer for indoor and outdoor use (IP65-rated) utilizing new technology, and featuring stylish design to help blend into surrounding architecture. The fixture uses of a series of high-power Luxeon LEDs (with RGB colour mixing - 5 blues, 20 greens and 24 reds). The Palco is currently available in two models, with 3W (Palco 3) or 5W (Palco 5) LEDs. The Ribalta from SGM, meanwhile, is an IP-rated LED cyc' light, ideal for illuminating walls and cycloramas, or anywhere a uniform even wash is required. Ribaltas are available with symmetrical or asymmetrical aluminium reflectors, and can be lamped from 250 to 750W using double-ended halogen 119mm R7 bulbs.
