Share this Post:

City Theatrical is launching a new group of constant voltage B-Series dimmers in a variety of capacities and configurations. All promise to partner perfectly with the company’s QolorFlex line of professional quality LED tape products

More details from City Theatrical (www.citytheatrical.com):

All dimmers have these advanced features:

16 bit dimming: Users can select from either 8 or 16 bit dimming with 16 bit dimming giving extremely smooth low end dimming that will meet the needs of the most demanding designers. 16 bit dimming requires two channels of control. 8 bit dimming produces good dimming with only one channel, but for the smoothest fades, users will select 16 bit.

User selectable PWM: LED tape users in the film world often are challenged to prevent flicker when using high speed cameras. This entire line of dimmers feature 30 user selectable PWM frequencies from 500Hz to 30kHz.

Multiple dimming curves: 99 built in user selectable dimming curves give the ability to match the dimming curve of other dimmers, or to tune the curve exactly to meet the needs of your production, with nine fast rise curve selections, and 90 slow rise curve selections.

Multiple DMX device profiles: Users can change the DMX configuration to include an overall dimming channel, or a strobe effect channel.

RDM: All of these dimmers are RDM capable, allowing remote setting of DMX address. Here’s how the individual dimmers differ:

B5 Dimmer PN5809: The B5 Dimmer is a five channel x 8A constant voltage dimmer in a rugged steel box. The five outputs give users the ability to run a full 40A of load such as RGB (three channels) plus bi-color tape (two channels), or RGBA (four channels) plus WW (one channel). Three types of DMX connections are included (5 pin XLR, RJ45, and terminals), and a four button user interface to make address and parameter selections.

B4 x 5A RDM Dimmer PN5821: The B4 x 5A Dimmer is as sleek and tiny constant voltage dimmer that can control 20A of LED tape load. Its connections are all on terminals.

There is a DIN rail version of our B4 x 5A Dimmer with all the same features except the DMX connections are by RJ45 connectors for fast

setups. Power in and output connections are on terminals.

B4 x 5A RDM DINrail Dimmer PN5825: This is a DIN rail version of our B4 x 5A Dimmer with all the same features, for users who prefer a DIN rail approach to installation. All connections are terminals.

These new Dimmers partner perfectly with CTI’s catalog of existing LED D-Series and B-Series dimmers of various types and capacities, some of which utilize built in SHoW DMX Neo wireless DMX. For more information on all of the products in CTI’s line of LED dimmers, please see our website.
