Products premiering at PLASA include the Cygnus Incite 375W Profile, the latest addition to the Cygnus range of LED fixtures by Wybron - exclusively distributed in the UK by TMB. Incite offers unprecedented lumens-per-Watt efficiency, with a CRI up to 92 (5x the brightness of competing fixtures). The quiet, advanced thermal management system ensures optimal output and consistent colour for many years. Proprietary in-lens colour-mixing technology provides smooth, virtually rainbow-free shadows. Advanced electronics provide step-free dimming over the longest fades, and Incite is fully RDM capable. The Cygnus family also includes the super-bright LED Wash and Studio Series.
Exclusively distributed worldwide, new products in the ProPlex DDD - Data Distribution Devices range of high-performance, tour-grade signal management solutions include: GBS gigabit Ethernet switches; RMT remote media transceivers; Opto-Splitter isolated DMX/RDM splitters; and IQ bidirectional ArtNet-DMX converters.
ProPlex GBS - Gigabit Ethernet Switches. - Gigabit Ethernet switches designed for portable entertainment and staging applications. Rugged and reconfigurable, 1U Rack Mount is fully populated with movable port modules. Any combination of the 10 auto-switching ports can be moved between front and rear panels for practical, gig-specific wiring.
ProPlex RMT - Remote Media Transceiver Systems. - RMT DVI Series, available Autumn 2011. Unique proprietary multiplexing system allows up to 16 discrete full-bandwidth HD DVI signals to propagate over one ProPlex Fibre cable. Transmitters include buffered monitor output and full DVI Parrot functionality on each input. All DVI connectors are separate from the circuit boards and are easily replaceable. Star configuration and repeater options are also supported.
ProPlex Opto-Splitter - Rack Mount and Portable Mount DMX and RDM isolated splitter/repeaters. - The rackmount Opto-Splitter 2x8 features eight optically isolated DMX512 outputs individually switchable between two inputs. Also available with full RDM support, the unit features a useful regeneration option for degraded signals. The Opto-Splitter Mini is a 1-in, 5-out portable unit in a Portable Mount enclosure.
ProPlex IQ - Rack Mount and Portable Mount bidirectional ArtNet-DMX converters. - IQ One 4 and IQ One 8 convert between Art-Net and 4 or 8 universes of DMX, respectively. Featuring web interfaces as well as front-panel controls, IQ One products are rugged, intuitive, and quick to configure, says TMB.
All ProPlex DDD models are available in Rack Mount and Portable Mount versions. The Portable Mount units feature two sizes of durable BSH (Brick S*** House) enclosures designed for tabletops, rack-mounting, or truss mounting via an optional yoke. Extreme care has been taken to design and build versatile and extremely reliable systems for professionals working in portable entertainment production, says the company. Shock-mounted circuitry is designed for extreme temperatures and conditions. Neutrik XLR, Fibre and Power connectors are featured, plus unique, easily replaceable DVI connectors.
The new Rockswitch (A/B manual DMX and Art-Net console switcher) can switch up to eight universes of DMX and Art-Net at the same time and is fully RDM compatible. The passive design features electrically isolated mechanical components, preventing any power interruption interfering with signal flow. Housed in rugged rackmount enclosures, Rockswitch is an ideal master/backup switch between discrete systems on any gig. Perfect for touring, television, and special events, four models switch 4 or 8 DMX universes, and 4 or 8 DMX and Art-Net universes. From Rock Solid Technologies in Germany, Rockswitch is exclusively distributed in the UK and the Americas by TMB.
