This 4-Port Ethernet Node has been designed as a means of expanding the DMX capabilities of shows using channel-hungry modern technology - where DMX universes get used up within a very short space of time.

Pathway Pathport DMX Manager Plus! is a 1U box with the ability to act as a DMX splitter or merger in addition to its function as a four-port Ethernet node. Each of its four ports is individually configurable as an input or output and has both male and female five- pin XLRs.

An integral Ethernet switch and two Ethernet ports give direct link-through, while the unit can be configured to include DMX universe routing, channel soft-patching and automatic port priority switching via its front panel or external software.

ARX's managing director Colin Park says: "Our recently released DI Plus has proved very popular with audio professionals around the world and the ARX design team has re-engineered this unit's circuitry into a compact two channel package resulting in our new DI Plus2 RC Direct Box, which is now in production at our Melbourne, Australia manufacturing facility.

"Like its single channel stable mate the DI Plus 2 RC is powered with an internal long life NiMH rechargeable battery that can be charged off either phantom power applied to either of the output XLR sockets or via the 12V DC input, removing battery 'throw away' as an environmental issue."

The DI Plus2 RC features low noise high impedance input buffers with switchable 20db Pad, and

When it comes to software, there is never a shortage of ideas, but more-so a lack of skilled developers, especially in a niche market such as entertainment lighting. HCI's core technology is its internal fade engine and Universal Attribute Control, but with the release of the new Open Source area on its web site, there are now countless 'hooks' into this powerful software product, says the company.

Giving users that may dabble in software development the tools needed to 'poke and prod' the main fade engine allows them the ability to write powerful macros that go beyond recording a series of keystrokes. The mere ability to branch execution with a simple IF statement "opens the doors to possibilities that have never before been availabl

The frequency response of 74Hz (-3dB) to beyond 20kHz enables a full-range deployment without the immediate necessity of additional bass systems. In applications where extended bass response is required, the LR7 can be combined with a pressure-bass or deep-sub system.

Loaded with the RBN401 pro-ribbon driver on a 'Morpher' lens, the system features a 90° or 120° dispersion of choice with seamless coverage, due to the ribbon's all-natural cylindrical (Isophasic) wavefront.

The micro-compact size, combined with the weight-saving all Neodymium drivers, makes the system very easy to handle.

B10 has been specifically developed for the sports market to address the ever-increasing demand for pitch side, or perimeter, advertising screens, which provide important additional revenue for clubs and venues.

Each B10 panel measures 1280mm (w) x 960mm (h) and uses Lighthouse's Enhanced Resolution (ER) technology to give an effective 10mm pixel pitch. 5,000 nits of brightness enables B10 to cope with any level of ambient light, even direct sunlight, and accurate colour reproduction means that advertisers logos can be perfectly replicated, says the company.
