The WiFlex DMX System, by American DJ, is a transmitter and receiver package that is compatible with all standard DMX controllers and fixtures in the market. It was designed to transmit DMX signal wirelessly, up to 500 feet, between the user’s DMX console and fixtures.

The ROBIN 100 LEDBeam is the latest in the Robe LED product line. Small and compact, weighing in at 4  Kgs (8.8 lbs), the fixture offers preprogrammed effects for eye candy as well as strobing and color chasing.

Middle Atlantic Products calls its patent-pending Series Protection the fastest responding series type surge suppression available in the industry. It promises to provide instantaneous protection of AV systems from damaging surges, and it is available in a new family of power distribution units.

High End Systems’ TechnoArc automated luminaire is designed for small to medium scale performance applications. The compact soft-edge luminaire – and a companion to the hard-edged Technospot – features smooth CMY color mixing and a fixed color wheel, a 6.5 inch lens, 8° to 32° zoom, and more than 14,000 lumens of output. The fixture is now shipping from its Austin, TX headquarters.

TRUSST launches its first line of trussing and related components at InfoComm 2012. The aluminum truss system, backed by Chauvet, uses modular components and a conical connector system to easily mate with other brands of truss of the same size and connector style.

Christie has expanded its 3-chip DLP platform by introducing the Christie D4K25 and new 14,000 lumen Christie M Series models. The new projectors target a variety of applications that require high brightness, superior performance and vivid, clear images.

PR Lighting’s XLED 336 is a compact, automated wash light with an 8-degree beam.  Then, with the use of the included diffuser, it can become a 16-degree wash unit in seconds. RGB color mixing is controlled via DMX 512.

Axess by SurgeX is an IP addressable, surge eliminating and power conditioning management system that allows integrators to monitor and control power distribution platforms via the Internet. This system can customize, synthesize and monitor individual outlets and power settings on integrated IP-enabled devices via remote access. Custom sequences can be created across the entire network with e-mail notifications sent about various power phenomena, based on user-defined conditions.

An integrated miniature projector that can display images on a much larger surface than existing displays is the next giant leap for smart phones and cameras. This is known as embedded projection and uses LEDs as the light source. The greatest challenge so far for lighting technology has been the limited efficiency of the green light emitting diodes. This is because high brightness is essential if the projected image will be seen with ambient light.  LEDs that produce green light with acceptable luminance were not available.  The new Osram Ostar Projection Cube has now filled this gap.

Daktronics partnered with GKD Metal Fabrics on Mediamesh, a stainless steel mesh with thin, horizontal Daktronics LED strips placed at custom vertical intervals. The product, designed for use with architectural applications, can transform a building’s façade into a dynamic communications medium. It can also be mounted over windows without completely blocking the view from within. Shown here, a Mediamesh installation at New York City’s Port Authority Bus Terminal.
