On the stand will be the Lancelot 4000W HTI stadium effects projector, the successful 1800W MSR Victor followspot and, just to show that LED has not completely replaced tungsten, the Cink 325LF 2000W tungsten Fresnel which adds the 'traditional touch' to any lighting design. And, one year after the first occasion, the Robert Juliat stand will be lit using the low power, high output, award-winning Aledin fixtures.
After successfully introducing the first framing spotlight with integrated LED light engine in 2010, Robert Juliat is now previewing two innovative ranges of profile spots that combine excellent dimming with homogenous projection quality.
Lumonic, based in Manchester UK, believe they may well be the first company to offer the professional lighting engineer a virtually 'seamless fade' when moving from colour to colour.
This technological breakthrough affords a new level of control and creativity, says the company.
The ilumo ZOOM LED Spot is now in production and will be featured at ProLight+Sound on the Sonoss Stand F45, Hall 9.

ArKaos Hub is an application specifically designed to monitor the state of multiple servers running MediaMaster in Fixture Mode. It can also send configurable commands to any video switchers connected to Ethernet using a TCP/IP address.
However, ArKaos Hub's key function is as a real-time backup system that gives instantaneous protection against server failure.
Currently, a backup system requires two servers running ArKaos MediaMaster simultaneously with the same set of visuals and receiving the same DMX commands to produce the same video stream. Any failure of a server necessitates a physical rewiring of t
Robe's track record as a constant innovator also influenced their choice of a wireless technology partner. Not only did they demand the most reliable and best performing wireless system, but their R&D team also wanted to the stretch the envelope by finding a partner that was at the forefront of developing such emerging technologies as RDM (Remote Device Management), RDM over Art-Net and Streaming ACN. An exclusive development program with LumenRadio based on a customized version of the CRMX technology platform became the obvious choice.
"We have collaborated with Robe for over two years and the partnership was a natural step for both companies. The Robin fixtures have truly established themselves as market leading products in their category.
Aimed at theatre and live events sound designers as well as museum and attraction integrators, the new S-Version features include multitrack Timeline cue programming, clip editing, looping, timeslip, volume-profiling and archiving, plus the object-based delay-pan programming pioneered by TiMax.

P100 Protruss, the latest product to benefit from the company's new automated fabrication process, is a heavy duty truss for the most demanding applications. The P100 has undergone a battery of tests and stress analysis, and even passed a load test that saw a 4.8m span support a 14 tonne point load with flying colors, to verify the theoretical calculations in real life.
Interal T.C. has taken a huge leap in the area of producing and dry-hiring aluminium trusses since it was established in 2003, and this year sees its automated fabrication system running at full force, bringing an unprecedented level of quality and consistency to the

Previously, individual KNX devices would be shown in Stardraw Control's topology view: ideal for smaller systems, but more complicated when the system contains perhaps hundreds of devices.
To enhance usability for larger systems, Stardraw Control now includes a compound or 'multi-device' driver for KNX systems so that a single object in the topology view can now represent, control and monitor an unlimited number of physical devices. As a result
The system comes with top sound quality in the midrange (4 x 4"cone speaker) and fine precise highs coming from a 1" dome tweeter with optimized wave guide for optimal localization performance in stereo and multi-mode setup. A high- grade passive crossover network completes the speaker components.
Its minimal weight of 6 kg and the slim and modest appearance together with outstanding handling features make it a high class product for entertainers, duos and mobile DJs, says the comp[any.
The system is suitable also for theatres, museums, lecture rooms, restaurants and in multi-channel systems in club, cinema and multimedia setups. The K.M.E. specific polyurethane coating is normally black . As installation version the system will be offered as VL 4 i.
Equipped with 19 x 10-watt OSRAM Quad-Color RGBW LEDs, the Platinum Wash ZFX Pro has a total 190-watt LED engine, yet its powerful output rivals a 700-watt wash discharge fixture in brightness. This extreme power, combined with the unit's compact size, makes it an ideal fixture for touring, concerts, theatrical productions - even on the largest stages, says the company.
The Platinum Wash ZFX Pro features a wide-range, high speed 9° - 21° beam angle motorized zoom (17° - 43° field angle), which gives it the flexibility of narrow beam or wide coverage. Another innovative feature is the addition of "FX" -- Chase/Zone effects, which are rings of LED array controllable zones, making the Platinum Wash ZFX Pro a much more high-energy visual effect than the typical wa
On the audio side, the range of V-Mixer digital mixing consoles, M-48 live personal mixers, Digital Snake I/O units and the R-1000 48 track recorder/players will be featured.
