ArKaos reveals An-Ki scheduling system
- Details
Managing director Agnes Wojewoda comments: “We experienced another very busy show this year and saw a good mix of high quality European and international visitors, with people from the US, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa as well as Pan Pacific regions. I am impressed with this international flavour.
“Particularly interesting to us was perceiving an increase in professionals and practitioners working in the architectural and ‘architainment’ sectors which - to us - reinforced the belief that there is a hunger for new technology in these markets.”
This trend tied in with the launch of An-Ki, which addresses the need for flexible, cost-effective and fully mobile control of media interfaces.
An-Ki is an inventive tool for scheduling and monitoring the highly successful ArKaos MediaMaster platform that enables mapped video or LED installations to be maintained from anywhere in the world via the potential of the ArKaos cloud.
An-Ki was launched during a special presentation event in the Manufacturers Forum on the first day of the expo, and the feedback has been very positive, reports Agnes.
Working over the internet, An-Ki enables digital content appearing as projections, or creative media on any LED mappable surfaces or devices to be updated, synched and tweaked in just a couple of clicks.
An-Ki is designed for multiple environments including hotels, meeting rooms, retail parks / shopping malls, building facades and other public spaces, and it underlines the simplicity and power that’s at the essence of all ArKaos products.
There was also a lot of interest in MediaMaster 5.2 which unlocks a host of excellent new features including DMX Merge, pixel blending, Kling-Net draft devices, extended DMX fixture creation and 64-bit support for all applications.
To signify the importance of the German market, ArKaos’ stand was adjacent to that of German distributor LMP, while their King-Net protocol was utilised to control Robe’s newest Tarrantula fixtures for the Czech company’s live show Cirque Robe.
Other exhibition highlights included a stand party on the Wednesday evening, which provided an ideal setting for networking, socialising, discussing business and ideas and meeting the ArKaos team with a convivial and relaxed aftershow vibe.
