As well as the new Masterpiece 96 (see last month's issue), Pulsar also showed its new 8 into 1 data splitter. In a neat touch, this 1U rackmount unit is reversible, exposing or hiding the connection panel, making it suitable for both touring and installation use. It will distribute digital signals from DC to 500KHz (such as DMX, PMX, RS232, RS423, RS422, RS485, etc). Signal In/Thru is provided in addition to the eight independent outputs, with all connections via 5-pin XLRs. 12-25V and 100-240V power supply compatibility gives even more flexibility.
From Clay Paky was the new Point, a 50W, 12V colour changer (via a seven-colour wheel) available in three versions: the basic Point (with mounting bracket), the Point In (recessed ceiling unit) and the Point MH (moving head version) which stands just 235mm high on a 250mm by 250mm footprint. The MH version has 360° movement on the horizontal axis, and accessories include lens kit, diffusion kit and gobo mount.
