ELC at PLASA 2008

New DMX, RDM and Ethernet lighting tools from ELC, leading manufacturer of DMX tools, on show on stand D82 in the White Light Zone in Earls Court 2ELC, manufacturer of a versatile and diverse range of DMX and Ethernet lighting tools, will be showing their extensive range and launching four new products at the 2008 PLASA Show, to be held at Earls Court in London from September 7th-10th.

Two of the new products, the DT125 and DT229, are designed for users looking to incorporate the RDM Remote Device Management bi-directional communication extension to the DMX512 standard into their lighting rigs. RDM is designed to operate over existing DMX cabling, but requires new DMX splitters that can deal with the new communication from the lights back to the lighting controller. Both products are DMX/RDM splitters, DT125 offering one DMX input to five outputs, DT229 offering two DMX inputs with eight outputs. Both products also include a USB connector, allowing easy firmware updates if required as the DMX or RDM standards are revised over time.

The new dmXLAN node 3 extends RDM functionality to DMX carried over Ethernet; the unit is a DMX to ArtNet conversion node with three DMX in/out connectors and two Ethernet connectors, the node having a built-in Ethernet switch to increase its versatility. Ports can be configured for DMX in or out, with the DMX out supporting RDM. The dmXLAN node 3 is available in stand-alone, wall mount or surface mount versions.

Finally the AC612 XUF fader module offers snapshot storage of DMX looks on to five faders, with two push keys then offering overall mastering with the ability to raise the overall look to 200% of the stored level. The AC612 XUF will also work with ELC’s new PC or Mac editor software, which allows each fader to be programmed with timed sequences of up to ten steps per fader.

ELC’s new products will be shown along with their wide range of existing products, including the ShowStore and miniStore ArtNet/DMX playback systems, the dmXLAN comprehensive selection of DMX and Ethernet distribution products, the FocusHand and Focus Brain hand-held remote systems and the sideKick fader wing. Representatives from ELC and from the company’s exclusive UK distributor, White Light, will be on hand to discuss the full product range.

ELC will be found on stand D82 , at the White Light Zone in Earls Court 2. PLASA 2008 runs from September 7th-10th at Earls Court in London; further information about the show can be found at www.plasashow.com.
