Designed in response to customer feedback, ShowLED Animation is designed to add some extra dynamism to the traditional starcloth. As in other ShowLED systems, the LEDs are placed randomly, ideal for creating starcloth effects. Features include high output RGB LEDs on thin socket cables, a velcro mounting system, excellent LED dimming curve, fast LED response time and additive colour mixing, says Amelia nv.
Contrary to most existing 'LED to fabric' video applications, ShowLED Animation retains the randomly-positioned LEDs, with a significantly raised density. The LEDs can be individually controlled as pixels to create low to medium resolution still images, video loops and flash animations. Moreover, the company claims to have achieved an ultra-fast data transfer that offers unique opportunities to display different layers and insert instant breaks.
Amelia nv has also teamed up with Belgian colleagues of Arkaos, a special version of whose software is bundled to communicate with the ShowLED Animation controllers to offer user-friendly and customizable effects.
