"Green lasers are what everyone wants right now - their shorter wavelength makes them appear much brighter than red laser beams and they travel farther," said Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ Group of Companies. "But unfortunately green lasers are also harder to make than red lasers and require a special diode, which has often put them out of reach price-wise for DJs and smaller clubs.

"American DJ has been constantly working to bring down the cost of green lasers," added Davies. "These new additions to our Emerald series make it more affordable than ever to put on a dazzling green laser show."

Emerald Sky is a twin green laser effect with dual 4.9mW

Based in Milton Keynes, IMS Technical Publications is able to offer a range of document services from simple text generation to full layout, graphic design and publication to print and electronic media. IMS Technical Publications claim that their many years of industry experience allow them to "provide a user's viewpoint of a product, something that many manufacturers have a problem with, especially after a long R&D phase".

According to Lovell and Boggis, the motivation for the new venture comes from what they see as a need to provide manufacturers with an alternative and more effective solution to generating technical documentation. "A manufacturer will frequently spend much time and effor

As the LC units are semi-transparent, they can be used in an array of applications and allow the seamless integration of moving images, lighting and set design, says the company. The panels can move through a range of intensity, from a solid wall of images and colour to near-invisibility and allow light, air, and effects to pass through.

The variety and depth of achievable colours in the LC series, combined with a brilliant output, allows the accurate broadcast of digital media, which remains true to the source formatting and the colour and intensity of other lights in the design.

Although useful in a wide variety of applications, the LC series is specially prepared for video and TV ap

Gunness Focusing involves the application of sophisticated, custom DSP algorithms designed specifically to correct loudspeaker response anomalies. The result is the elimination of the time smear, horn "honk" and low-frequency cone resonances that plague conventional reinforcement system designs.

In addition, the UX8800 is intimately linked to both EAW Smaart and EAW FChart acoustic measurement and analysis platforms.

In the UX8800's loudspeaker processor mode, the user can establish up to four individual loudspeaker specific processing units, each

Still retaining the 'stepped' shaft design and extra efficient steel ball, thrust bearing, they now include the addition of an "Iglidur" flange bearing, secured by a specially machined aluminium block. With the extra lateral support this new additional bearing provides for the output shaft and gearbox, they can now be used in almost any orientation, even allowing for the possible extremes of pitch and roll experienced on a passenger liner.

All are still designed to incorporate a factor of safety (FOS) of at least 10:1 and use only tested and certificated shackles and couplings. Including a jaw-to-jaw swivel on each that acts as a clut

"For our new double production of the operas L'Heure Espagnole and Gianni Schicchi, the American lighting designer Mimi Jordan Sherin asked for a number of scrollers in our FOH positions," explains Royal Opera House lighting manager Simon Bennison. "Unfortunately for the Opera House and auditorium conditions this was not really possible - but it left us with a sizeable FOH lighting issue to solve - we needed a powerful and silent colour mixing solution for a tungsten unit."

Subsequent research by the ROH's Michael Scott and Paul Hornsby led them to the SeaChanger Colour Engine. "White Light supplied a demo unit which impressed us all enough for us to order eight SeaChangers, the first in the UK."
