UK - Projected Image Digital announced a raft of new products and developments, beginning with a Beta version of the MYRAD package which provides a reduced feature set version of the RADlite image server plus a hardware DMX interface - at a much reduced price compared to the original, full featured version. The new software will run on a standard PC, although for optimum performance a dual processor machine is recommended.

Two prominent products in the visual stakes on the stand are the VersaTILE LED modules, for which PID is Element Labs' preferred UK partner, and the large screen D-TFT40W LCD display from D-TEK Industries. Projected Image Digital is also showing its Beacon, EpOk and Amorphous royalty free digital content libraries.

Highlighting the company's growth in the audio/video convergence market, the new D-Mix Series, according to PID, "breaks new ground in the convergence of lighting and video...the D-Mix offers the ultimate in video mixing and matrixing from a lighting console." The D-Mix Series offers the choice of single or quadruple outputs, both versions providing an internal 2-channel video mixer for smooth crossfades between either two video inputs or the internal black signal.

PID's Rob Fowler told L+SI Online: "A lot of people out there are very keen to use all these new, converging technologies but are quite nervous about where and how to start because of the perceived complexity of so much of it. There's a certain reassurance in coming to a company run by experienced lighting people who understand how these new devices and systems can be used together."
