Kling-Net will be retrofitted into four existing Prolights products, Halupix, Chromapix, Halurock and Chromarock, with plans to incorporate King-Net into all new Prolights products from the outset.
The Prolights Halurock is based on a 7x7 matrix of high-lumen CREE Warm White LEDs, with a 2800K° colour temperature which recalls the classic effect of the halogen lamp in rock concerts, while the Chromarock LED moving head is based on a 5x5 matrix of high-lumen Osram Ostar RGBW/full colour LEDs, offering a limitless chromatic generation.
Halupix is a 7x7 matrix of high efficiency CREE LEDs with an on-board modular rigging system designed for arrangement into walls or matrixes in every size. These project sharp beams into the air which are brighter than conventional LED screens. Chromapix is the RGBW/full colour LED version with special optic reflectors which allow a unique reproduction of 6° tight light beams.
All of these products have individually-controlled LED sources which can now be managed easily using ArKaos Kling-Net.
"We were moved to look into the ArKaos Kling Net protocol after receiving very exciting feedback from our partners worldwide," says Prolights' product manager, Fabio Sorabella. "When we looked at Kling Net we found it to be a product that finally brings an end to the nightmare of complex pixel control. It offers a very friendly but powerful tool that is accessible to every level of user.
"Addressing, mapping and the creation of content become instantly possible with Kling-Net in a way we have never seen before. Thanks to Kling-Net, we expect that more and more users will be drawn to our Prolights Pixel LED lighting product range."
"We are delighted to welcome Music & Lights to the Arkaos Kling-Net family," says ArKaos' managing director, Agnes Wojewoda. "The Prolights brand is well-established and has a great reputation throughout Europe. Kling-Net as a protocol is both affordable and easy for the average person to use, providing sophisticated levels of control to video and pixel-related products. We are glad to have the opportunity to work together with Music & Lights to drive the limits of LED technology ever-higher."
"Many basic and first time users are afraid of using LED lighting because of the complexity of networking and control issues," says ArKaos CEO, Marco Hinic. "Traditionally, using and networking LED lighting has required a high level of technical knowledge which has been a deterrent for many. We wanted to remove all this complexity and replace it with a simple to use protocol which automatically takes care of the magic numbers for the user!
"Kling-Net brings LED lighting within reach of even small clubs and venues by making it less technical and less expensive. It opens the market to new lighting designers who have previously been deterred by the technical complexity and expense of LED lighting systems. Kling-Net removes these barriers and makes LED lighting available, easy and fun."
