To complement this, Artistic Licence has produced a Technical Focus brochure reflecting these areas of technology, which is full of information covering the functions and features of a number of products and brings readers up to speed on the latest versions on offer. It also gives working examples, within project settings, of issues that customers have tackled on site using Artistic Licence products and expertise.
The ARC Show 2010 sees the launch of two new Artistic Licence products: Rail-DALI-DMX and Rail-DMX-DALI. These are improved and upgraded conversion tools which will supersede the existing Rail-DALI converter and establish the next generation of DMX/DALI control. Following their launch at the show, Rail-DALI-DMX and Rail-DMX-DALI will be shipping from the end of February 2010.
New to ARC 2010 will be Artistic Licence Sign-Control and Two-Play which were launched at London's PLASA 09 in September when Two-Play received a Commendation from the judges in the PLASA 09 Awards for Innovation.
Sign-Control is a DIN-Rail mounted DMX512 playback system, controlled by 14 buttons, a Real Time Clock, RS232 and two external triggers. Features include three pages of eight memories along with one page of six sequences. Each memory or sequence contains all 512 channels. Aimed at simple to sophisticated room control applications, and suitable for control of any LED application, Sign-Control is already making inroads into the digital display industry.
Two-Play is a Two-Universe DMX & Art-Net recorder and playback controller with remote triggering options and configuration features. Many hours of show playback can be recorded onto the internal memory card from DMX512 input or Art-Net, and up to four shows simultaneously transmitted to two universes. Playback is initiated from a number of sources, including a Real Time Clock and external triggers. Remote configuration and programming is possible via a built-in web browser.
