Reflection LEDko (in the Soft Profile and Profile versions) is the first LED profiler able to project a shaped light with diffused edges, also offering the possibility to reproduce any tone and nuance of colour, and any shade of white, says the company.

It guarantees reduced installation costs and maintenance, and cuts energy consumption by at least 70%. What's more, it allows you to print gobos on glossy paper using a normal printer. The costs of lamp replacement, dimmer, scroller and gelatine are eliminated.

Reflection LEDko is available in three models: Reflection LEDko Full Spectrum, Reflection LEDko VariWhite 3000/7000 K, and Reflection LEDko White 3200 K, with Soft Profile and Profile optics.

"The new Cool Confetti Blasters have an improved injection system that increases the jet efficiency, therefore pushing confetti higher and extending the flight time," says the company. "The latest design produces a higher output which is 45% higher than other machines on the market. We produce better results with less machines and therefore take a smaller footprint and provide a more cost effective solution for your confetti launch."

Highlight will be demonstrating the Cool Confetti Blasters on stand 1H41.

Grant Bales Smith, sales manager for UK, Scandinavia and Benelux for Philips Entertainment EMEA explains, "Smart addressing technology has simplified LED fixture set up by ensuring that end users can quickly address any luminaire in the Philips PLTR1 range.

"The range features three types - the PLTR1W (Tunable White Flood), the PLTR1RGB (RGB Colour Mixing) and the PLTR1RGBAW (five colour unit with tunable colour temp settings). Each one has different channel requirements and differing features.

"The LightPack LED controller can sense which unit is which and assigns the correct number of channels. It can also include a virtual dimmer channel and is capable of setting the mode of a fixture i.e. 8 or 16 bit. The LightPack LED controller'

The LED strips can even operate concurrently, giving designers increased freedom and future proofing for the installation, says the company. The LINEARdrive, which dims down to as low as 0.1%, can be used with all leading protocols (DALI, DMX, DMX/RDM, 0-10V). A wealth of configurations settings is set over the intuitive user interface.

Thanks to the driver's Remote Device Management support, you can easily track down and address your luminaires from an RDM capable DMX controller. There is no need to open luminaires to re-address the driver during installation or re-commissioning.

When using the LINEARdrive in a DMX network, you can easily configure it to get the li

The company received the award for its CRM100-RF and CRM102-RF retractable through-table boundary layer omnidirectional and cardioid condenser microphones. The proprietary design enables the microphone to be raised or lowered flush with the tabletop by pushing on the top of the mic.

The low profile system allows tabletop microphone systems to remain permanently in place, simply disappearing when not in use; a feature that has proven hugely popular with installers and systems integrators throughout the world.

The award was presented to Clockaudio MD and founder Jim Hallington by Systems Contractor News editor Kirsten Nelson. Commenting, Jim Hallington said, "It's a great pleasure to receive this Innovation Award which further va

VideoBlades 12 are the result of an alliance between Lighthouse and Pix2o, providing a 12.5mm pixel pitch, modular LED screen.

VideoBlades 12 comes in two formats, SkyRoll and GroundRoll which can be deployed by rolling up or down from its patented rotating structure, just like a window shade. The modular format allows for the seamless formation of large-scale screens limited in size only by a customer's needs.

SkyRoll deploys down from overhead and is available in 4m, 6m and 8m widths and up to 10m screen heights, whilst GroundRoll, as the name suggests, deploys up from the floor resulting in the lowest possible rigged weight and is available

Art-Net3 retains all the popular features of its predecessors (Art-Net I andArt-Net II), being simple to implement, highly efficient and available in the public domain, says the company. Crucially, all existing Art-Net I and II devices will operate seamlessly with Art-Net 3.

The key difference of Art-Net 3 is its data capacity - at least two orders of magnitude greater than the 256 universe limit of Art-Net II.

WhenArt-Net I was released about a decade ago, lighting control demands rarely exceeded a handful of Universes. By the time Art-Net II arrived in 2006, thebenchmark had increased to a few dozen. Today, fuelle

It has a dual shielding (helical Cu mesh screen + aluminium fleece) and may be cross wired for audio purposes, where it shines with a low wire-to-wire capacitance of a mere 40 pF/m.

Fully assigned it is the ideal AES/EBU or DMX cable due to its wave impedance of 110 ohms, says the company. To make the "perfect studio patch cable", the wires may also be split. Due to its small diameter it fits into so many tiny and miniature connectors like 3.5 mm mini jacks, mini XLR or phono/RCA plugs. The outer sheath consists of a robust, environmentally friendly and halogen-free/flame-retardant PUR jacket.

Supplied by Philips Entertainment's UK distributor Architainment Lighting, Utopium has reported that they've barely seen the luminaires since they were delivered. This, they say, is because the ColorBlazes only come back into the warehouse long enough to be prepped and tested before they're loaded back onto the truck and sent out on the next event.

Sam Garland, production manager for Utopium says the decision to go with the Selecon PLTR2 RGBAW (ColorBlaze) was based on the ratio of power economy to light output along with the fast rigging time. "Primarily we were looking to replace our existing cyclorama lighting options," Garland explains. "The Philips Selecon PLTR2 RGBAW (ColorBlaze) offers massi

This capitalises on the "phenomenal success" of the fully flexible - bends both ways - Pixled F-6 surface that was launched at last year's PLASA.

The design and architecture for the 9mm pitch F-9 features all the same dynamic characteristics that have proved so popular with the F-6 - high resolution, light weight, very easy to build and set up, curvable in both directions - both concave and convex.

F-6 and F-9 modules can be mixed and fitted together if desired in the same quick-lock touring frames. These utilise the rapid hanging and footprint system that has proved such a winner for touring and temporary installation environments.

Like the F-6, F-9 is also available with standard Pixled or super-HD resolution Mitsubishi pr
