MA Lighting grandMA3 Console
MA Lighting has introduced the grandMA3 console , which is available in full-size and light models .
The physical design detail of the grandMA3 range is focused on delivering an improved user experience . The full-size and light models feature larger multi-touch screen surface areas . All dedicated encoder and playback information is accessed directly on the letterbox screens , allowing the larger screens to be fully configured to suit user needs .
The grandMA3 breaks the limitations of Local Area Networks ( LAN ) with the ability to access Wide Area Networks ( WAN ). Software updates , technical support , online help , and fixture downloads are all supported within the WAN framework .
Using the advanced MA-Net3 protocol , grandMA3 systems can output up to 250,000 parameters . There are three sizes of grandMA3 processing units to expand the console parameter count . The full-size and light models incorporate a thermal design , transferring heat to a cooling corridor , which isolates critical components from harmful dust and keeps fan noise very low .

Elation Cuepix 16 IP All-Weather LED Matrix Panel
Elation Professional has expanded its line of multi-environmental IP-rated products with the Cuepix 16 IP . The Cuepix 16 IP is a 4x4 matrix LED blinder and effect panel with all-weather IP65 protection . It is an updated version of the company ’ s 5x5 Cuepix panel .
The Cuepix 16 IP houses 16 long-life 30W RGBA COB LEDs for a full spectrum of well-balanced , custom colours ( saturates to pastels ) with no pixelated rainbow shadows . The added amber LED compared to the RGB-based Cuepix Panel extends the possible range of colours and gives more control over white balance , producing a better warm white . The COB LEDs give a higher-density output and a more even light distribution .
Each COB module is individually controllable while RGB , dynamic amber , and pixel flip modes add to its creative potential . The five included pixel flip modes make it easier for users to uniformly configure all pixels in multi-panel configurations regardless of their installation orientation .
