Previewed at last month’s LDI show (see full report in the December issue of L&SI), these instruments are highly flexible, covering all lighting applications in the power spectrum (up to 2k) - within a single unit! With the light output reduced, the low power/low noise factor makes it ideal for operating in television studios. At the top of its power rating FLEX will be at home in any arena or stadium concert rig, and actually runs brighter than Coemar’s NAT 4k fixture.
The brainchild of Bruno Dedoro and Fausto Orsatti, the FLEX range was designed in Coemar’s laboratories in Castelgoffredo, Ital

Prolyte Products has always heavily invested in their production facilities. Through the years this investment was paid back in high quality trusses and an outstanding reputation for reliability and durability. Making the production process more efficient is a constant challenge, not only for the engineers, but for the welders as well. Based on these insights in the complete production process, Prolyte gained an enormous effectiveness by intelligent routing of the production line of standard truss from the X30 range.
After a period of intensive try-outs and t
With the multi-user functionality, up to10 consoles can be linked together on a network to control one show. Each console can operate its own independent screens, command line and hard drive archive, allowing multiple operators to work simultaneously with no need to merge their single show files together afterwards. Any console, replay-unit or offline PC of the grandMA family can be utilized as a multi-user client - only the master console determines the DMX channel count.
Multi-user is ideally combined with the new world pool to filter the dis
The ARX ZA400, ZA600 and ZA800 amplifiers have been fitted by PIVoD with their new audio streaming technology, VIPA (Venue Internet Protocol Audio). With VIPA, each ARX ZA amplifier features an Internet Protocol (IP) interface that allows the amplifier to be monitored for the operating and control status of each stereo channel pair and the AC power control 'on/off' of each amplifier. The amplifiers are then controlled and monitored with the PIVoD Technologies Show Control
The Compact 115 is a versatile three-way, biamplified system, say D.A.S., designed to be used as a full-range stand-alone unit without the need for bass reinforcement.
