The first of Artistic Licence Training Days took place on the 9th February 2011. The DALI Training was deemed a great success and attended by industry leaders, from a wide range of disciplines, working at the forefront of DALI and DMX installations. Artistic Licence Engineering MD, Simon Hobday, led the training and answered a barrage of questions on this comparatively new, but ever more frequently used, protocol.
In addition to the training, the day provided a good discussion forum and delegates came away feeling they had learnt valuable points. “DALI and DMX are being pushed as major protocols and it is important that we should be up to date on the methods and means of DMX / DALI conversion and also the problems, limitations and compensation methods of doing so,” says Paul Simson of Enliten.
“It was very useful to explore and discuss the limitations and advantages of these two protocols, the prime uses of DALI and when DMX should be preferred,” says Wouter Wissink of R-Tech (Urbis Lighting). “All of us come from different areas of the industry so have questions from all angles. It is a challenge but also great fun to have the opportunity to ask these questions in a knowledgeable environment.”
For those of you unable to attend the training day, a DALI Guide will soon be available as a download from the Artistic Licence website.
