Europe - Following an award-winning debut at LDI in Las Vegas this past December, Elation’s new Paragon LED profile moving heads are now shipping worldwide.

Paragon was recognised with LDI’s Best Debuting Product Award. The fixture is the result of years of development and feedback from designers demanding a lighting solution that could adapt to any environment without compromise.

"We listened to lighting designers who wanted more flexibility, greater output, and a streamlined system that could do it all,” said Eric Loader, global vice president of sales at Elation. “From concept to execution, we refined every detail - ensuring Paragon isn’t just another moving head, but a true workhorse that raises the bar for lighting technology.”

Since its debut, Paragon has already been specified for major concert tours, broadcast studios, and

Spain - German fibre network specialists Optocore demonstrated at last week’s ISE Show in Barcelona that they continue to ‘break new barriers in their technological evolution’.

In particular this applies to the new 12G-SDI standard. With the increasing demand for higher bandwidth, in both the broadcast and live event spaces, 12G-SDI is the logical option to support higher speed UHD formats (4K, 8K etc), with higher bitrates and a greater number of colours.

Explaining the move, Optocore technical support engineer, Marci Sós, states: “The advantages are obvious. As market leaders in fibre distribution, our pledge is always to keep ahead of the technological curve, supporting new standards in the evolving world of broadcast signal transmission to ensure the best outcome for our customers, and meet their demands.”
