MIDDLETON, WI – ETC is expanding its dimming and power control line with the introduction of the Source Four Dimmer, which can be attached to any conventional Source Four to provide per-fixture distributed dimming in 120V markets. The Source Four Dimmer uses ETC’s new ES (Electronic Silent) technology for fan-free, noiseless operation for acoustically sensitive venues. ETC also introduces the ES750 Dimmer, which has the same functionality as the Source Four Dimmer, but it can work with any type of fixture. The ES750 can be a remote dimmer for any application and comes equipped with a power input and output to a choice of connectors.

TORONTO – Cast Software has recently released WYSIWYG R29, the new version of CAST Software’s industry standard pre-visualization suite. Among the new features are the Six Degrees of Freedom Camera and Shaded View Selection. The Six Degrees feature means users may position the camera in any way they choose, mirroring the complete freedom of movement that they would have with a physical camera in a live situation. Shaded View Selection speeds up the process of selecting fixtures and changing characteristics while in design mode.

LOS ANGELES – GLP has launched the impression X4. The fixture incorporates 19 quad color RGBW LEDs, each rated at 15 watts, to offer a single homogenized color output from its front lens across a wide color spectrum from deep saturates to soft pastel shades. For special effects, onboard patterns are available, as is the ability for designers to create their own effects and chases on the fly.

FREDRIKSTAD, Norway – The F85 3-chip DLP projector is the latest 2D and 3D capable projector to join projectiondesign’s line up of innovative projectors. As well as 2D imaging, the projector can be used in active or passive 3D stereoscopic mode removing the requirement for multiple projectors in stereoscopic set up. The projector benefits from proprietary Advanced Color Optical Processing (ACOP), which combines both fixed and motorized optical filters to enable optical calibration with near infinite accuracy and without any loss of bit depth. Combined with its RealColor color management system, ACOP ensures on-site color calibration to achieve any desired color standard.

SUNRISE, FL — Chauvet has added two solid, indoor high-resolution video panels to its VIP  Series: PVP S5 and PVP S7. The panels are designed for touring and permanent indoor installations. Each high-resolution panel uses black face, tri-colored SMD LEDs for increased contrast, and the tight pixel pitch (PVP S5 at 5.2mm and PVP S7 at 7.8mm) make these video panels useful for high-resolution graphics and live-action video.

Prism Projection recently expanded its RevEAL line of products with the RevEAL Studio.UV Fresnel. The RevEAL Studio.UV Fresnel is designed for special effects applications with black light paints or where you need an ultraviolet source. It features a high output ultraviolet emission of 12,000 mW at 365nm light output along with the same variable beam and precise barn door cuts of the rest of the Studio Fresnel range. The LED-powered Studio.UV Fresnel offers an output comparable to 400W discharge lamps while drawing only 80W of power. It can also be dimmed without requiring mechanical dowsers.

LOS ANGELES — Elation Professional’s new EPV375 HO LED Display Panel creates see-through video effects indoors and outdoors at concerts, stage shows and special events. Rated at IP65, the EPV375 HO was built to withstand wind, dust and rain.

With 8,000-nit brightness, this semi-transparent 37.5mm-pixel-pitch panel will produce high-contrast visuals under any conditions.
