UK - Projected Image Digital will exhibit at ABTT for the first time, featuring Element Lab's Versa TILE and Versa Tube LED products and PixelMAD, a revolutionary matrix control system for playing back digital images as Quicktime movies via DMX-controlled lighting fixtures.

The newest Versa TILE product is Versa Tube, which can produce vibrant patterns to organic flows of coloured light. Versa TILE and VersaTube both use LED video display technology to produce a broad spectrum of rich, saturated colours.

Each Versa TILE is edge-lit by LEDs, giving a smooth light output. Like building blocks, tiles can be placed together in any configuration. Proven LED video display technology lets VersaTile produce a broad spectrum of rich, saturated colours - in addition to flesh tones, browns, greys and other colours normally unachievable with conventional lighting technology.

Each single VersaTILE represents one pixel on the screen of a PC or Mac. What you see on the computer display is what you get on the Versa TILE surface - be it video, moving or still images. Content can be created using any graphics program or adapted from widely available stock imagery. Currently available in two versions - to suit both rental applications and permanent installations, sizes for each version include 50 x 50 cm (25 tile) and 1 x 1m (100 tiles). Custom sized panels can also be made to suit specific installation requirements.

PixelMAD - a software tool that allows the mixing of multiple quicktime movies in layers together on screen and output that image either as video or as DMX which is sent to DMX lighting fixtures.

PixelMAD was first used on Radiohead's 2003 Hail To The Thief world tour 2003, to generate dynamic and organic lighting effects across a wall of Pixelline fixtures. This saved hours of laborious programming to create very complex effects. PixelMAD will be available in a number of different configurations, from a two universe version up to a 40 universe version - to suit shows of all budgets.
