SGM

Besides its well-known comprehensive range of moving yoke wash and spotlights, SGM now produces three models of LED colour mixing washlight based on high output Luxeon LEDs - Palco3, Palco3 Mobile and Genio Mobile, displayed on the stand of UK distributor, Lightfactor Sales. All use the same combination of RGB LEDs with interchangeable lenses to give 8°, 25° and 40° spread. All three are also available fitted with just white LEDs for simple floodlighting requirements. The two Mobile models have moving DMX-controlled yokes; the Palcos are both IP65-rated, the Genio IP33.

PLASA also saw the official UK launch of SGM's Pilot 3000 lighting desk - 1024 DMX channels, 2 DMX outs, 1 DMX in, TFT touch screen select, and it comes with 64MB Compact Flash back-up, and is fully Ethernet compatible. It also features four jog wheel encoders plus trackball, six programmable faders and 20 cue buttons, all of which make this a full function board in a very compact design.

Also on the Lightfactor Sales stand, but from Stark, comes a new theatrical variant of their architectural image projector, the 1800W HMI StarkLive. The Theatre model has much reduced fan noise with the lamp housing fans relocated beneath the main body to ameliorate problems of escaping light. An automated yoke version, the Pro Revolution uses the same body. All three use a 6x7 electronic film scroller with a 100-frame capacity.
