For fixed installations, such as theatres or conference centres, the cabinet will be mounted on the wall, with the display in front and the DMX connector beneath, avoiding connectors and cables getting in the way. The ethernet is connected internally through hardwire connection. In the truss-mount version, an Ethercon connector from Neutrik is placed beside the DMX socket. The cabinet is fitted with a built-in M10 nut on the bottom for a truss clamp and a hole is provided for the safety hook. In both cases, the 5-pin XLR connector can be set up as a DMX input or output.
showSTORE ST is a real time DMX recorder/player which complements the company's showSTORE and miniSTORE products. This Solid State version of the showSTORE will record up to 99 shows of 512 DMX channels on a CompactFlash card, allowing easy backup by CompactFlash exchange, as well as increased stability as it has no moving parts. The total record time with the factory-mounted 128MB card will be two hours, although this can be increased with bigger CompactFlashTM cards.
Finally from ELC, miniSTORE MKll is an updated version which will now record shows of up to 512 DMX channels, without loss of record duration, whereas the previous version was limited to a maximum of 64 channels.
ELC can be found at SIB on the GMEP stand (C5-34) and at ProLight&Sound on the RST Distribution stand (Hall 8.0, A.20).
