Axon is High End Systems' new media server, offering all the graphics engine capabilities of DL.2 but in a rack-mount version. The new v1.3 software includes all the new features of DL.2 and Axon shown at the LDI 2006 trade show including Enhanced Collage Generator, expansion of the Collage Generator up to 8x8 arrays with increased resolution, and a number of new effects. It also includes many software improvements including a number of networking improvements for the DL.2 and the Content Management Application (CMA), the company says. All new DL.2s and Axon media servers will ship from High End Systems with this new software release.
Scott Blair, HES director of digital lighting development, says: "This is a significant release for us that brings a lot of features and enhancements we developed during the course of our Axon development to the DL.2 fixture. We've listened to our customers and provided new effects that have been requested by all different market segments as well as significant improvements to areas such as networking that benefit everyone."
