The classicPalette.
UK - Strand Lighting has chosen the annual ABTT conference and trade show to introduce their new Palette family of control consoles to Europe. There are three groups of control consoles in the range: classicPalette, presetPalette, and subPalette.

Clean, elegant, and very, very powerful, classicPalette is a classic memory console. With 150, 250 or 500 channels (and double those numbers of attributes), two playbacks and 32 submasters, classicPalette will eat up complex shows, easily - elegantly. ClassicPalette comes bundled with WYSIWYG CE, for real-time visualization across the network.

Single-scene/two-scene control is still the best starting point for a lighting control education, and the presetPalettes are designed for teaching. Two versions offer 32/64 or 48/96 single/two-scene preset operation plus memory control. When students are familiar with preset operation, there is no limit to what they can learn from the power and intelligence of PaletteOS.

The subpalette features 128 submasters for hands-on control of lights, groups, effects or just about anything, subPalette has been designed for live shows, TV production and tours. With all the power of Palette, and the incredible flexibility of all those faders and bumps buttons users will be able to quickly program the most complex shows easily. subPalettes are available with 250 or 500 channels and are also supplied with WYSIWYG Console Edition for real time visualization.

All of the Palette family of consoles feature the new graphical PaletteOS operating system which offers a wide range of graphical on screen controls and easy to read displays. The new software is based on the Linux operating system for solid reliable operation. Inside the desks users will find a clean simple USB connection system to an industrial processor with a powerful Intel core and 40GB hard disk. Library storage has moved from the floppy disks of the past to USB memory keys with more storage and easy handling.

The new desks feature graphical offline editors that run on Mac OS/X and Windows XP making it easier than ever to edit a show and move it between consoles and venues. Our popular xConnect remote monitoring software has also gone graphical with the new consoles.

The new OS is connected to the past as well with the ability to read and write show files from our popular 300 and 500 series consoles. Operators familiar with those desks will be able to step up to the new consoles and run them easily as we have retained most the command structure from these systems.

Other products at ABTT include our new Wallrack with 24 X 2.5kW dimmers in a convection cooled enclosure. Wallrack features two DMX inputs, support for our Accent DMX control stations and a full DMX patch on both inputs. In addition to the 24 X 2.5kW rack there is a smaller 6 X 5.0kW rack.
