In the more advanced intermediate workshop, attendees will get a comprehensive look at inserting library items, applying textures, importing objects from third party programmes like AutoCAD and Google Sk
Superseding previous methods, which are unable to meet the requirements of load capacity, functionality and reliability, the Electro Kabuki has been developed following extensive consultation with the theatre and events industries, says the company.
The Electro Kabuki has been designed to reliably release weights of up to 50kg and is suitable for applications where the requirement is to discharge or drop drapes, dummies or cables on cue as a straight drop or at any angle. Also suitable for very light loads, the Electro Kabuki is supplied off-the-shelf with all ele
This price list includes a lower price on full colour CMYK glass gobos. Already known for the high resolution of their images, Goboland glass gobos will soon be produced using a "unique organic dot process" which will give finer tonal representation to photographic images, both black and white and colour, says the company.
Goboland will be presenting their new gobo rotators for the first time. Offering counter- rotating gobos with an onboard manual control of speed and direction, the double gobo rotators can also be set to carry out pre-programmed effects using a simple system of dip-
ChamSys will be meeting with distributors at the show to "ensure that integration of the new products to the MagicQ range is as smooth as always". Visitors will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the new ChamSys products.

The product can be used to: set the fixture address including group assignments; auto-patch fixture addresses; test the fixture; transmit single levels, group levels and scene selects; walk test; automatically cycle though channels groups and scenes; read all current DALI levels for channels, groups and scenes, and read latest DALI levels for channels, groups and scenes.
The product display uses high brightness LEDs making it easy to use in low light conditions. The moisture proof keypad uses single function keys for ease of operation. Dali-Scope is powered by two AA batteries and offers over 12 hours continuous o
"The ground support truss system followed the sloping roof line of the temporary structure as well as sufficiently supporting lighting and sound loads while not intruding on the space below. It can go right up into the apex of any interior space, such as marquees or converted barns and warehouses," explains Blackout managing director Steve Tuck. "This in turn gives event designers many more options in terms of where they position lighting, loudspeakers and other fittings."

The LPC X supports a variety of control protocols to suit different project needs, including DMX-over-Ethernet standards such as Pathport, ArtNet, ETCNet2 and Streaming ACN. Also provided are DVI and Firewire DV outputs for integrating with arrays of fixtures that require video-based control.
There is also a framework in place to support custom protocols for bespoke projects. Multiple different protocols can be output simultaneously from a single unit giving synchronised control across an installation and making the LPC X a flexible answer for large-scale control.

PSCo has partnered with German manufacturers Mediascreen to launch this flight-case based system which can position the 103" up to 3m in the air at the touch of a button. The Screen Lifter is a specially designed portable installation, handling and display system, which is now available for both trade rental and sale from PSCo.
The sheer size of the new Panasonic 103" Plasma screen has presented an installation challenge for early purchasers of the system. Until now the 8ft wide, 220kg screen has required bespoke lifting for both permanent and temporary installations, be that a domestic environment, an exhibition or a luxury retail outlet.
However, The Screen Lifter houses the 103" screen in a flight case on
