On show for the first time anywhere will be the new Fusion 672 LED video system from Illieum, together with its powerful Fusion Mapper control system. A lightweight batten - just over 1m long and weighing just over 3kg - each Fusion 672 contains a 72x6 array of tri-colour SMD LEDs with a ultra-wide viewing angle. Battens can be arranged in increments of 90degrees to create patterns or to form part of the structure; the set-up can be programmed on site or plotted in a spreadsheet in advance.
Once uploaded to the Fusion Mapper, the battens are automatically configured and addressed. The Fusion Mapper accepts any DVI or VGA video input, mapping the video signal to the layout of fixtures. Alternatively, the controller can receive DMX or ArtNet control for effect playback.
Complementing Fusion will be a range of other LED and control products: the JBLED A7 from JB Lighting, a moving-head LED fixture also offering beam control from 8-26 degrees which won the Silver Award for Innovation at PLASA 2008; the W-DMX wireless DMX system from Wireless Solutions; show control products from ELC, perfect for exhibitions and events, and the SpectraWOW spotlight and SpectraLED batten from LDDE, all of which are available in the UK only from White Light.
