UK - Avolites has unveiled a major new release of its lighting and integrated media control Titan software. Version 16 has two new main features developed to assist programmers and operators by providing fast access to the data they need.
Freeform Layout view, for example, provides the ability to arrange and select fixtures in a 2D layout either manually, or automatically from the integrated Capture visualiser, streamlining the workflow from design to programming. It provides a visual representation of the current state of the fixtures and is accessed from a new 'Layouts' window and 'Layout' handle type. With this new function, group handles can be included in layouts to further assist fixture selection. Multiple layouts can also be created providing the ability to have more than one arrangement of fixtures or to separate fixtures into specific layouts. The view supports mul

Spain - In recognition of the changing post-pandemic exhibition landscape, Martin Audio has announced that it plans to run both an online and offline product launch event at ISE 2023, in order to maximise engagement for those that can and cannot attend the trade show.
Marketing director, James King, explains, “The pandemic re-wrote the rule book on launch events. While most industry product launches were previously geared around the trade show calendar, once the pandemic hit, and trade shows were off the agenda, we all moved online.
“Now, that trade shows are back, we are entering an interesting period where attendance to trade shows is still lower than it was pre-pandemic - plus there are always potential visitors who, for whatever reason, are unable to attend. For that reason, we feel the hybrid solution becomes a pragmatic way to keep customers right up to date

UK – Kevin Foakes’ Wheels of Light: Designs for British Light Shows 1970-1990, shines a powerful light on a remarkable period of entertainment history.
The book exists because of (and treats as its central hub) Optikinetics - the UK manufacturer formed by Neil Rice and Phil Brunker in 1970 and, under the ownership of Rob Stitcher, still going strong to this day. ‘Opti’ (as it has always been known) was not the first – or by any means the only – creator and purveyor of the projection effects which characterized the era. But they were a central player: they designed and built the famed Solar 250 projector, and they are one of the few companies influencing that powerfully creative time to have survived through to the present day.
The author’s research – triggered by a modern-day DJ’s encounter with a Solar 250 projector (yes, they still make them)

USA/Europe - Following a positive reception from designers and specifiers at the LDI show in Las Vegas, Elation has announced that the KL Profile FC is now shipping. The unit is designed for any application where a compact ellipsoidal or wash fixture with outstanding colour range and a flexible zoom range is required.
The KL Profile FC offers full-spectrum performance from a 92 CRI engine that utilises a 305W 5-color homogenized LED array of red, green, blue, mint, and amber sources. The RGBMA engine, calibrated at a native colour temperature of 6500 Kelvin, emits diffused saturates and soft-field pastels, including tuneable white light. The carefully tuned LEDs ensure accurate colour reproduction while delivering a powerful output of 10,600 lumens.
High colour quality and colour manipulation are central to the KL Profile FC, ensuring that designs translate well to c

USA - Quasar Science has announced the release of a new firmware update for its Double Rainbow and Rainbow 2 RGBX linear LED fixtures. Firmware v0.7 is available for free from QuasarScience.com. It brings new features and improvements, including global parameter controls for image-based lighting.
The firmware update brings a range of benefits for virtual productions, featuring the first lighting profiles that include global parameters to set the color space and white point of input media. This allows users to match adjacent outputs, such as a video wall, for accurate and consistent rendering, providing unparalleled control over lighting in virtual environments.
“Global parameters for pixel mapping, such as white point, spectrum control and color space, are not available in traditional RGB profiles,” says Quasar Science CTO, Ben Dynice. “We have created these new

USA - The new Ovation CYC 3 FC from Chauvet Professional allows more space to be covered with fewer fixture thanks to its greater length.
A fully-featured cyc light, the Ovation CYC 3 FC measures 47.13 x 6.30 x 4.33 inches (1197 x 160 x 110 mm), making it longer than the popular Ovation CYC 1 FC. Because of this size difference, the new fixture allows the same space to be lit with fewer units.
For example, a 45ft wide space that would require between 11 and 15 CYC 1 FC units to be lit properly, depending on the desired saturation level, would need only seven to nine CYC 3 FC fixtures to achieve the same results. This not only reduces the fixture-footprint on a stage, it also saves valuable time during set up and tear down.
Suited for theatre and broadcast applications, the Ovation CYC 3 FC is fully compatible with the Ovation CYC 1 FC, allowing both to be used s
