Powered by line voltage, the Shield AC XB system can run up to 300m away from the nearest power source. It eliminates the need for separate driver units and is suited for large scale architectural installations, such as bridges and high-rise buildings, as it allows more flexible placement of fixtures in outdoor applications, says the company.

Based on the standard daisy-chain topology and using one cable for power and data, the Shield AC XB system simplifies wiring and helps save installation time and costs. The field-installable connectors provide wiring flexibility, allowing installers to optimize ca

The ATW-CHG2 has many protective features to preserve the integrity of the transmitters. A built-in safety feature monitors cell voltage and automatically turns off the unit if problems are detected. The unit will also automatically shut off if damaged or alkaline (non-rechargeable) batteries are installed. Maintenance charging prevents battery self-discharge until the transmitter is removed from the charger. Two AA 2000 mAh Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are included.

Other recent enhancements to the 2000 Series include the addition of a second operating frequency band for more flexibility and incre

The major change for Eos and Ion is a new Virtual Media Server (sometimes referred to as "pixel bit mapping") which allows the creation of grids of fixtures, to which static and animated images can be applied, with a variety of manipulation tools. Similar to a media server, images can be created or imported by the user. A second download - Eos Family Pixel Mapping Installer - allows users to add media content to the console for use with the Virtual Media Server.

For all three desks, 'shielded submasters' allows a priority to be assigned to a submaster - a "shield." When a submaster is shielded, the parameters assigned to that submaster are excluded from any live control other than the submaster. They c

Following on from the release of the DD32R interface last Autumn, these two 1RU products have been designed for compatibility with Optocore's new Cat 5-based SANE platform, allowing up to 256 channels over Cat 5. The existing DD4ME and DD2FE MADI devices have thus been re-engineered to function within this environment, and include RJ45 SANE network connectivity, while the optical port upgrade (to 2Gbit LC SPF's) allows for simple user exchangeable single or multimode fibre transceivers.

The expanded capacity provides each ring with the capability of carrying up to an unprecedented 1024 audio channels over a 2 Gbit network, and at the same time create cost-effective copper based, 24 ID sub network rings from any of the 24 devices that can appear on the prime fibr

All three are high-power LED wash lights are flicker free - making them a video-friendly choice - and housed in rugged cases. The fixtures fill a small footprint - just over 279.4mm high, under 254mm wide and only 88.89mm deep - and have hanging brackets which double as a floor stands. The cast alluminium housing protects them from the rigours of the road and helps dissipate heat. The cost-effective line also features locking IEC connectors for power, LED control displays for easy addressing and access to functions, and multiple dimming curves for smoother dimming no matter what controller is used, says the company.

The LED-fitted wash lights emit very little heat and h

At the show Keith, Watson, Harman's marketing director for mixers said, "We've had a fantastic reaction to the 24 fader model launched at PLASA in September. Being 19" rack mounted, the 16 is our response to massive demand from our clients in live sound including Houses of Worship, installed systems, theatres and corporate events."

With full DSP functionality built-in to a small-footprint chassis, the Si Compact range provides up to 40 inputs to mix in three frame sizes. Motorised faders with Soundcraft FaderGlow operate on two layers, but the main difference from similarly priced mixers is the provision of a full encoder set for all the functions on a channel, from input gain through EQ and dynamics to b

A major implementation is the new Safe 'n' Sound record recovery feature that enables recorded audio files to be recovered after a sudden accidental loss of power, for example after tripping over cables, pulling out power or USB cables, or even forgetting to stop recording before powering off the system. All recorded data can be recovered including song splits, song names and track names. The recorded files will also still be split up into smaller bite-sized pieces that some workstations rely on when importing.

Once power is re-applied to the unit, the new software analyses the disk and performs all the necessary recovery procedures
