As we reported last issue, Australia's State Automation (formerly Bytecraft) has launched a joint venture with Robert Juliat, forming Paris-based State Automation Europe. Pride of place on the stand was the state-of-the-art SANET fibre optic lighting control network. The modular system comprises a range of components, including a 90-channel sine wave dimming module, offline editor software, tablet PC, mobile phone monitoring interface and many more. Based on TCP/IP technology, the system can transmit up to 32,768 DMX channels. International sales manager Bertrand Dauphant reported much interest from visitors.
