Once the design had been verified, various renderings of the trunk was e-mailed to Blackburn based HSL who were the first to benefit from this updated designed trunk and placed an order for 167 units. Minor modifications were carried out to the 'model' to cater for HSL's specific requirements. The trunks house twin moving light units, however a unique feature is the option to add a separate door to convert th
Able to charge in both clear and overcast conditions, a waterproof IP68 rating, and operating temperature between -40°C and 70°C and resistance to point and impact load, Tsola tiles can be used in the most demanding applications, say Light Projects. As it requires no electrical supply or maintenance, it is ideal for retro-fitting to existing areas where it is unacceptable or impractical to lay new electrical cable. It can also be installed by non-ele
The primary goal of v1.3.8 was to improve much of the currently implemented functionality, says Brad Schiller, HES director of control systems development. "This new version has increased the software's abilities in terms of data processing and network usage," he explains. "Our development team has dedicated many hours to strengthening the core functionality of the software and hardware. In addition, they were able to sne
The company reports that 40% of the sale for March 2004 were for Sunlite Suite 2004, which offers advanced software functions for live control; 30% were for the Easy Stand Alone, which offers remote internet editing and internal clock triggering, and 30% were for other products, including Magic 3D Easy View (an offline 3D visualizer for DMX consoles), Sunlite Intelligent DMX Interface (intended for software developers) and Sunlite Limited Edition (a promotional item for lighting manufacturers).
The company reports that it is particularly expecting sales of Easy Stand Al
At Moving Air's launch event, which took place recently at Abbey Road's Studio 2 facility, Kelsey conducted 'live demonstrations', with listening tests in the control room, explaining the technology involved to the trade and press guests.
Abbey Road, with its reputation for technical excellence, was quoted as saying that in a studio environment, this cable enhanced the musical detail and improved the stereo image. Kelsey's parent company, Fuzion plc, rocked the party by providing a live stage rig that compris
Advanced Series Mode technology is the latest generation of SurgeX's proven Series Mode circuitry, which uses an inductor as the first and primary surge-suppression component to intercept and contain destructive surge energy. There has never been a failure of Series Mode protected equipment. Unlike other approaches, Advanced Series Mode technology does not rely on metal-oxide varistors (MOVs) as a sacrificial component. In addition, it creates no ground-wire contamination or common-mode surges and has zero let-through voltage.

Turbosound's GigMate software has been developed in conjunction with Dr Ahnert of SDA (Sound Design Ahnert), the originators of the industry-standard EASE and EASE Focus electro-acoustic design and analysis packages. The software is designed to facilitate two-dimensional modelling of Turbosound's innovative Aspect concert touring system, within any performance space.
Turbosound's GigMate provides the user with an intuitive modelling tool. It enables quick and easy prediction of the behaviour of a loudspeaker array of any size, operating in any given venue, auditorium or performance space. The software's first release offers modelling in the vertical
In addition the Junior Barrel has a 4.5mW laserdiode and mechanical shutter for high-speed strobe effects (like all fixtures of the Junior range), DMX addressing and adjustment of all functions like Audio stand alone and Master-Slave is made very easily via the display. The fixture is available in black and silver.
The lamp is an Osram discharge lamp HSD 150/70 with an average service life of 3.000 hours and colour temperature of 7.500 k. The unit offers a mirror barrel with a pan of 230°. The unit also features a laser 4,5 mW laserdiode with DMX control.

New features announced by Barco include: integrated device and show control features from Events Manager and StagePRO; the ability to drive Barco LED walls with low transport delay when coupled with Barco's new LEDPro Video Processor; DVE colour effects and "strobe" processing; programmable colour correction for digital sources; support of operation with
Ocean Optics says its patented process yields the most robust dichroic filters available, allowing users to control colour, intensity and saturation to unprecedented levels of precision. The company says its filters also provide higher transmission efficiency than gels and other filter materials, and their resistance to temperature and humidity eliminates the need for noisy fans.
SeaChanger employs four patterned filters: cyan, yel
The new 15" mid-bass is the result of the latest developments of RCF's experience in speaker design and manufacture, say the company, offering an accurate and a tight bass response. The processor section includes active crossover, system equalization, transducer phase alignment, limiter and protection functions. The system is visually monitored from four status LEDs.

The 19" 1U rack-mount unit features a passive cooling system which guarantees quiet operation, say Axxent. Operating conditions, such as power on/off, signal present and signal peaks close to clipping are indicated with different colour LEDs. The only control on the amplifier's front panel is the input sensitivity. For safety reasons, the potentiometer is detachable and can be re
This innovative blend of new hardware and software, which has cost up to a quarter of a million pounds to develop, allows the DJ to drag and drop their music files into play lists - allowing their full collection to be stored on one complete system. Shaun Minns, managing director of Computer DJ, based at the SHINE Knowledge and Innovation Park in east Hull, got the idea for his unique prod
The Digital Video Machine allows clips to be copied from PC and stored on Compact Flash; clips can then be triggered using contact closures, playlists, real-time schedules or RS-232.
The Digital Video Machine offers a number of flexible options: a stereo amplifier provides two channels at 20W each; the pro audio module provides balanced, S/PDIF and Dolby 5.1; and an SMPTE-259M SDI module provides digital video out. With the optional Ethernet module users can update clips, schedules and GPS coordinates remotely - even using wireless networking.The Digital Video Machine fits almost anywhere and is vibration resistant, so i
The Liberty's uniqueness, say Carlsbro, come from the fact that it broadcasts a 2.4GHz uncompressed signal suitable for multi-speaker and multi-room environments, which means a high quality of output, almost without loss. The Liberty Wireless was developed primarily for the installation and professional PA markets, but is useful in any environments where cables are used, say Carlsbro.

Though armed with cable connectors that are better able to endure frequent and repetitive setup and take-down procedures, the DVI-1000 ST uses the same methodology to extend high definition digital video up to 500m (1,640ft) from source to display. Small sender and receiver units link the source to the extended display with multimode fibre optic cables, available from Gefen in lengths ranging from 10m (33ft) to 100m (330ft). The DVI-1000 ST supports high resolutions up to and including 1080p or 1920x1200 for computers, and is equipped with DVI inputs and outputs to connect its sender and receiver units to the source and the extended display, say Gefen.
