LDI 2010 - Friday - Tech Breakfast!
Here's the rundown on new tech from the tech breakfast at LDI. No pics, b/c I was tied to the keyboard typing furiously... :-)
New Tech Breakfast
Birket
-14W LED strobe/wash. “Firecube.” Now without a controller—dipswitches on back.
Doug Fleenor Designs
LED Color Wheel Controller. Multi-color LED wall switch controller. Looks like a circular dimmer switch. Punch it once, controls level. Push it again, can control levels of different LED colors—RGB, RGBA, RGBW. 3, 4, and 5 channels of control.
Dimmer Pack – very density dimmer pack. 24 channels in 1RU. NEMA plug, b/c grounding in unit itself. Only residential two-prong plugs then. ¾” spacing. 100W/channel, 2400W per unit. Intended for non-incandescent loads.
City Theatrical
25th Anniversary next year.
Lightwright now fully bi-directional with Vectorworks.
New product is PDS-750 to give power and control to any Philips Color Kinetics units.
12 and 6 channel supply.
PRG
OHM Light. LED Spacelight for “Critical Lighting applications.” B’cast, TV, film, live events. Using Gekko kleer colour tech – 3200K. “great color rendering”
Designed to replace tungsten space lgithing. Wants highly accurate color temp and resembles form factor of space lighting. Dimming on board. DMX remote control. 2900-6500k color adjustable. CRI greater than 92 at 3200k. 80% less power and heat than conventionals, which means less cost in power and AC. Demo in room n113.
I luminate
First year at LDI. Wireless lighting up dancers and moving set pieces, as well as control and diagnostics. “EL Wire” project. Now moving into LED. 12 channels per device. Showing on dancers at booth, demo’ed on the back of a guy’s jacket—turn around and then LED strips on clothes, set to a Chicago song. Kinda cheesy, but GREAT photo bait. Stuck behind a keyboard. =(
Lex Products
Slim Dimmer Plus. Simple lighting product-just one dimmer. Compact, durable 1.8kW dimmer in rugged pack with DMX and manual control. Fader on front, 18” pigtail.
Custom Legend Printing -- Print your name or message on entire length of custom-made Ever-Grip cable. 50 characters, 1/8” bold type every 2 feet. Releasing a new ever grip molded motor cable, extra rugged to ensure mission critical cables don’t fail.
Apollo
Mini LED Zoom w/ partners at Spotlight. 100Watts, RGBW, DMX color temp, and of course, zoom lens. Great video from Blue Pony! I’ll see if I can’t get it.

Madrix
LED lighting control solution. MAdrix 2.10 software. Installation LED control is what it looks like. “Music makes the light” focus on how they interpret audio to make LED’s respond quickly. Not surprisingly, partnering with American DJ to create stand-alone creat unit.
And looks like that’s it! Wow! It actually ended before 10 a.m.! See you all on the show floor!

Hey,
where is Interactive Technologies' Figment and CueServer products? Figment won an award at the end of the show.
interactive-online.com
You even put Fleenor here, which is a total snooze.

Did Figment and CueServer present at the Tech B'fast on Friday? I can't recall at the moment. Excluding them was certainly not an editorial choice -- this was meant to be a person by person write up of who took the stage at the Friday tech breakfast.
Glad they won the award -- the tech they have is cool -- their exclusion here was not meant as a slight, or editorial comment.

They did, about 40 minutes in, at least that's what the time stamps on my pictures say.
I use their stuff a lot, big fan. The Figment app with CueServer is a killer, worth separate article or review I think.

Wow. Then I have no idea what happened. Lack of coffee? Good idea on the review. I'll see what I can do.

Cool. Let me know if you happen you to write anything, they are a small company so I know they would be excited. I got to know them over time a bit. They're good guys.
