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
