PLASA 2013 attendees will get an opportunity to try out the compact V276 on Mac control interface and Mbox Studio, a software-only version of the popular Mbox Extreme media server, both of which are available for sale. Both products are designed for use with a user-supplied Apple Mac computer. Individually these solutions are feature-rich but when combined, these two products provide a powerful, complete, compact and easily portable control solution for lighting and media from one computer.
V276 On Mac is designed to be the entry-level version of the Vx76 Lighting Console range that can be easily transported. The V276 uses the same software as the rest of the Vx76 range including the powerful Media Display showing media server content. Paired with any user-supplied Apple Mac computer, the V276 acts as a control surface that takes full advantage of the network processing power of the Vx76 range of consoles. The hardware interface of the V276 includes six dedicated encoders, 10 submasters, directly outputs eight universes of Art-Net, four DMX outputs, and SMPTE timecode. It has one DMX input as well as works with MIDI controls.
Mbox Studio is a powerful and portable media server solution that allows users to address the media needs on a range of productions. While this compact version has fewer parameters and less complex operations, it still offers substantial functionality and the versatility expected of an Mbox product. Studio operates identically to the Mbox® EXtreme in both movie playback effects and in transition functions. It is designed primarily for playback of SD content but can handle HD content. It offers eight playback layers and a fully functional pixelmapping toolset. Bundled with Mbox Studio is Mbox Director, a graphical user interface so you don't need a lighting desk to operate any of the media servers in the Mbox range of products.
Debuting in Europe are the UV Bullet and UV Wash, compact, high-output ultraviolet LED luminaires. Both units use powerful 365nm UV-A-LED emitters for blacklight effects.
Packed with features, the UV Bullet produces a powerful ultraviolet output while housed in a discreet, compact form factor. This focusable ultraviolet luminaire uses a powerful 365 nanometer UV-A-LED emitter for stunning blacklight effects with minimal visible light. The UV Bullet, which dims smoothly over the whole output range, draws only 18-watts yet offers a high output that surpasses much larger UV luminaires that typically use discharge lamps and which can't be dimmed.
The UV Wash is a 35-watt ultraviolet LED wash luminaire for lighting designers who require a lightweight and variable beam spread UV floodlight for blacklight effects.
Also on display is the PRG V676 Lighting Control Console, developed by PRG's Emmy award winning R&D group. V676 provides a sophisticated and powerful software platform that is reliable and extremely user friendly. The latest version now features an internal dual Apple Mac mini combination as the processing unit thereby eliminating the external processing rack.
The award-winning PRG automated luminaire proprietary product line will also be on display including the energy efficient, all-in-one Best Boy Spot and the powerful Bad Boy Spot automated luminaires.
