It has the output of traditional sources at a fraction of the power con
One of the key new software features is CAD Mapping Background, an ergonomic feature that makes P3 system controllers even easier to use. CAD Mapping Background allows users to import a CAD drawing (stage, building, etc.) and then map LED video panels directly onto the drawing without the need to measure distances or angles.
Another key new feature is a Kinesys K2 Motion Control interface. By linking a P3 system controller to a Kinesys K2 Motion Control System, real-world movement and/or rotation of panels can be tracked in real time by the P3 System Controller. This enables direct panel positi

The KLR system is an alternate means of moving the source point of a number of automated lighting fixtures along a pre-defined, circular path. The KLR system is based on a patent application filed by Parasol earlier this year.
Parasol's various systems can be scaled for all types of applications, ranging from small clubs (lights under 80 lbs.) all the way to large outdoor systems capable of handling payloads of over 400 lbs per Para Cart.
Parasol debuted its L Series system at the recent world premiere of the Pirates of the Caribbean 4 movie, and then again during the season finale of American Idol.
Parasol CEO Hermann Fruhm says, "SSRQ (Safe, Smooth, Reliable and Quie
The new VLF208LV, a dual 8-inch in a larger volume enclosure than the ultra-compact VLF208, is designed for applications that require the lowest frequencies from a slim-profile design. With a birch-ply enclosure measuring just 10 x 21.75 x 21.75 inches, a frequency response down to 40 Hz (-3dB) and an operating range to 30 Hz (-10dB), the 1000W program VLF208LV stunningly delivers low end power. Its low velocity port design extends the response while eliminating air noise through the heavy duty 16-gauge steel perforated grille.

"Customer feedback finds the Aledin wash to be a very powerful LED product which produces an even beam over a spread range of 17 - 96 degrees (field angle), and since it uses a true Fresnel lens, the beam can be efficiently masked with traditional barn doors. The dimming is very smooth with no 'stepping,' its strobe feature is useful for concert lighting and the choice of 3500K or 5800K color temperatures lend itself well to exhibition work. The result is a very versatile fixture that's provin

"The semi-square profile suits certain architectural applications better than a round profile LED BAR," says the company. "The unique linear end cap design means that there is no change in profile as one Bar Pro Rectilinear is butted up to the next. This is because the bonding surface of the end cap is inside the profile of the Bar Pro Rectilinear and the transition from one section of Bar Pro Rectilinear to the next is perfectly smooth."
