The PL-11 IR receiver is useful where open or 'hidden' system settings need to be changed by authorised personnel, as they do not have any unguarded controls. 14 soft keys on the PL-5 can be programmed to manage functions such as levels, mutes, preset recall and MIDI strings for external equipment interfacing. iDR systems also provide tally / RS232 out, and IR protocol is contained in the System Manager software download bundle.

Whilst the main output is stereo, mono output -suitable for providing MOH (Music On Hold) to a telephone system - can be simply configured.
Either mic input may be activated by voice (VOX) or short-to-ground acces
The new woofers are conceptually derived from the existing ones and are intended to complete the range; they are the result a direct market request and FaitalPRO immediately replied according to their constant desire to improve - as always - the acoustic performance of their products.
Flavio Naggi, FaitalPRO overseas sales manager says, "We wanted to complete the Five Hundred Series with other professional loudspeaker models appropriate for two or three way enclosures, to be more open, to be cut higher at the level of a low-pass fi

This year's latest development is the introduction of Point Source Productions' Equipment Service Department which has been created in response to the growing demand for the maintenance of customers' own equipment. Services on offer range from individual item repair to full scale, regularly scheduled, maintenance contracts, including Portable Appliance Testing, and is focused on schools, event companies, long term installations and companies which need to take the pressure off heavy workloads.
Also on show on the Point Source Productions stand will be an innovative new method by which to mount
The new amplifiers' Variable Load Drive (VLD) technology makes them flexible. Each channel can be individually configured to deliver a maximum power of 500 watts or 1,000 watts into any load from two to 10 ohms, or drive 70 or 100 Vrms loudspeaker lines directly without an output transformer.
When connected to an optional RCM-810 module, users can configure the new power amplifiers with the help of IRIS-Net to deliver maximum output per channel in a range from 100 watts to 500/1,000 watts in one-watt increments into any load from two to 10 ohms (adjustable in 0.1 ohm increments).

The British manufacturer received positive reactions to the new colour scheme, which was first adopted by the Xone:4D, launched in June 2008, followed by the Xone:22 in January 2009.
Consequently, the Xone:1D and Xone:2D MIDI controllers will be manufactured in the new colour scheme along with the Xone:4D to complete the :D Series, and the Xone:42 USB DJ mixer will join the Xone:22 DJ mixer in grey as Allen & Heath's entry-level mixers.
The change is purely cosmetic, and there are no alterations to the products' design or performance. The grey versions are filtering into distribution now and will begin to appear in retail outlets around the globe, says the company.
The company says: "The Lee Swatchball is a unique three-dimensional way of viewing and comparing all the colours in the Lee range. It has proved to be a very popular tool with lighting designers and following numerous requests for a stand-alone version, it is now available as a free download. This means that you can now enjoy and use all the functionality of the Swatchball without having to be on-line."

A DMX splitter, being in the centre of any RDM network, must be RDM enabled. The MDR offers the possibility of adding an RDM module now or purchasing it as an upgrade at a later stage.
Likewise, wireless DMX512 modules can be fitted to the MDR splitters and both popular brands, W-DMX from Wireless Solutions and City Theatrical's SHoW-DMX are catered for. The wireless DMX512 module can work as the sole DMX512 input source for the splitter or as a back-up source to the cable input. In this scenario, if there is a failure of the cable DMX512 input, the MDR splitter has an
The 25-degree-beam PAR30A LED bulb runs on a voltage range of 85V to 260V AC current, and thus can be used anywhere in the world, says the company. Other voltages like 12V AC or DC are optionally available for qualifying customers. The LEDtronics PAR30A-style lamp is a direct screw-in replacement for 50W to 75W PAR30 incandescent or halogen bulbs, but typically has a maximum power draw of only 8.5W.
Designed for customers requiring the highest levels of brightness and efficacy, the new white-body PAR30A bulb has

"When we first introduced the original RC4Magic system in 2007," says James David Smith, president and chief designer at RC4, "we brought the cost of wireless dmx dimming below the $1000 threshold for the first time. With 15 years of RC3 and RC4 experience behind us, RC4Magic performance has been excellent, but we did hear one complaint over and over again."
Users didn't like the bright yellow labeling. A design decision that helped the product stand out at tradeshows and demonstrations also made it stand out where it shouldn't - inside props and set pieces on stage.
In 2008, the company released RC4Magic Series 2 with purple labels. "Problem solved, I thought," said Smith, "but I was wrong."

New features allow the user to organize editing and playback screens in multiple workspaces. Each workspace allows you to customise a whole environment with multiple views and panes. You can build each one and save/open each workspace separately. Create various workspaces such as live workspace, editing workspace and TOPO workspace.
You can also use the navigation utility when some of the workspaces are not visible due to the length of their name.
Editing the object's attributes right on the grid (table) where you are viewing the data saves many steps of opening the object and editing each object separately. Among the new display types that you can now edit - cue sheet. G
