Palettes are very powerful when programming lighting, particularly if you need to quickly update a set of scenes at once.

The EasyTime timeline editor allows the user to simply programme their show by dragging and dropping various effects (constant levels, Curve, Gradiend, X/Y, video etc) onto a timeline. A Cycle is a cue list of scenes and switches - useful if you have a set of scenes and switches and wish to trigger these sequentially. Cycles are very easy to record and modify thanks to the new timeline editor, say Sunlite developer Nicolaudie.

This year's show is the platform for the launch of ArKaos' new network protocol, Kling-Net, a protocol designed specifically to allow the distribution of real-time video data to remote display devices, like LEDs or LED panels, over Ethernet.

Kling-Net can transform the simplest of LED devices into an intelligent Kling-Net device that can talk to, and be controlled by, a Media Server. Auto configuration of devices upon start up dispenses with the need for complicated set up procedures. The Media Server can then read and change parameters from the device. This makes the whole process extremely fast and easy and minimises the potential for mistakes, says the company.

Costs are reduced because the devices do no
