Powered by 30 x 10-watt RGBW CREE LEDs, the Platinum Wash LED Zoom produces an output comparable to a 575-watt discharge moving head. Yet it draws only 360 watts of electricity at maximum use, offering great energy savings over fixtures with conventional lamps. Its powerful LED source emits 1,672 lux/ 155 foot-candles at 16 feet -- for a bold, bright wash in any color under the sun. Not
Visitors to the company's stand enjoyed a show facilitated by six projectors shooting perfectly mapped video onto a four-sided surface. Total screen space was 9sq.m with the distance between the projectors and screen surface a short 1.5m. The blended projection was made possible due to the software's new 3D mapping engine automatic adjustment method.
The 3D mapping engine is used to solve common video projection problems such as shooting video or images onto objects of any geometric complexity.
Also shown at the show was the Lightconverse Server-Studio, a new hardware solution that can visualize up to 1536 fixtures (96 Universes) in real-time in conjunction with the 3D Show Platform software.

For the first time in Italy, it will be possible to see Outline GTO, the large-format line-source system already owned by some of the world's major rental companies.
In spite of the official launch dating back to just last month, on the occasion of Frankfurt's Prolight+Sound, the Brescia company wishes to emphasize that the system has already been in use since the summer of 2010. As well as Peter Gabriel's New Blood tour, GTO has just been used for the concert by Mike + The Mechanics at London's Royal Albert Hall. There is no lack of illustrious artists in the United States using the system.

dnp global sales manager, S°ren Kræmmergaard, comments, "We wanted to create a retractable screen at a significantly lower price point, without compromising on image quality. The new screen delivers the same optical performance that earned the Supernova Flex its excellent reputation. But we have chosen a simpler design for the housing and suspension system."
Just like the high-end dnp Supernova Flex, the new classic version is fitted with high-contrast filters that absorb ambient

The white light X-5 was previewed as part of SGM's streamlined new range. "We believed the concept of an LED strobe would revolutionise the market - but even we had not anticipated this level of response from lighting designers and the global rental community, or the large number of orders we would receive," says SGM's commercial director, Giorgio Radice.
Head of R&D Peter Johansen added that prospective customers had noted the compactness of the fixture, the fact that it would deliver the same output as conventional high wattage

"The Micro Wash RGBW is a scaled-down - but not scaled-back --version of a larger LED colour-mixing par can," said Sebastian Mobers, sales manager Europe for American DJ Europe. "It's got all the features and amenities that you'll find on a professional LED stage par, only it's mini sized -and mini-priced.
"With lighting being more widely used today in entertainment, decorative and display applications, we're finding that there's a growing demand for professional-style fixtures that are smaller in size than conventional units. The Micro Wash RGBW fits right into this trend. Its compact size makes it great for spaces and applications where standard par cans would be too large, yet you get a full-feat
