>The iColor Tile FX is, as the name suggests, an effects ceiling tile for installation use. Made by Color Kinetics Inc (CKI), and basically an array of 432 tri-colour LED pixels in a standard 600sq.mm tile, the colour modelling potential of this unit is immense. Controllable by DMX, and with pre-programmed effects, the tile has very high-resolution colour mixing control thanks to CKI's own Chromasic control chip. The Acrylic cover can be personalized (etched with logos, artwork or graphics) and, once sealed, is IP66 rated. CKI's iColor Flex is single 'pixels' of LED nodes on a daisy chain power/data cable. More than a sophisticated Christmas tree light set, the Flex allows all 50 nodes on a string to be individually controlled and coloured. During the course of the show, it was announced that Altman Lighting Inc will license Color Kinetics' patented Chromacore technology for a new line of intelligent LED-based systems.
