Yvan Pe?ard, Ayrton's chief design and technology officer, has developed the XT Series an optimised range of luminaires designed specifically for large-scale venues using the largest and most efficient optics on the market.

Designed in the same creative spirit as Ayrton's original IntelliPix-R, IntelliPix-XT is a versatile fixture that uses Ayrton's new, specially developed, 126mm diameter optics to produce extremely slender, 2° beams.

IntelliPix-XT is fitted with nine ultra-powerful, low-profile, RGBW multichip LED emitters, arrayed in a 3x3 matrix, that produce a parallel shaft of light - intense, sharp and incredibly coherent - over a long throw distance. Each emitter can be controlled individually and, coupled with the new propr

The detailed control interoperability enabled by this dedicated software module, means d&b amplifiers can now be integrated easily as part of a Q-SYS DSP network system. Integrators can provide Power on/off, Mute, Gain, Preset Recall and other amplifier controls from any Q-SYS user control interface (UCI) hosted on any number of control devices and - vice versa - can read extensive status information from the d&b loudspeaker system. This allows system designers to achieve high performance d&b quality in installation applications requiring detailed, customized remote control features. Extensive integration with Q-SYS also allows the status logging of all audio c

Showing for the first time anywhere, the Galileo Galaxy network platform marks a quantum leap forward for the Galileo platform that was first launched in 2005. Galaxy is the first Meyer Sound loudspeaker processor to be fully networkable, with multiple units sharing 24-bit/96 kHz multi-channel audio via an AVB network. Maximum input count has been increased from six to eight for easier implementation of 7.1 systems, and a new generation of FPGA-based processing with 96 kHz floating point resolution delivers increased dynamic range, a lower noise floor, and super-low latency of 0.6ms analog in to analog out.
