Acclaim Launches Interactive Cat Walk Panel LED Screen

The Cat Walk Panel, from Acclaim Lighting is a 7.88" x 7.88" video panel containing 25 full-color 5050 SMD LEDs with the ability to respond to Touch Interface Control. Extremely flexible, this touch-sensitive panel offers inductive control, allowing users to set time and distance parameters for the activation of its LEDs.

Featuring a 40mm pixel pitch, the Cat Walk Panel is compatible with both DMX-512 and DMX-1000K(1M) protocol and can be easily linked in multiples. Up to 24 pieces (600 pixels) can be connected per DMX-1000K controller, and up to 6 pieces (150 pixels) can be connected per DMX-512 -- offering the ability to build interactive walls, floors, and screens of all sizes.

The company says the product has a variety of applications: Club goers will feel they're part of the show as they light up the dance floor with their fancy footwork, while entertainers and musicians can add a whole new dimension to their performance, conjuring up images and animations with one magic touch. Fashion models can light up the runway with each step, while trade show exhibitors can add a whole new level of video interactivity to their booths. The Cat Walk Panel can be installed on tabletops and counters, or used as an architectural element to create any type of environment desired in a building or venue.

"People today want to interact with the world around them - look at the rise of the social media. The touch-sensitive Cat Walk Panel fits right in with this trend," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Acclaim Lighting. "It brings an interactive element anywhere it's installed.

"Imagine putting it on an entire wall of a club or a dance floor. Or what excitement and attention it can generate in a hotel, airport or any other architectural environment. The Cat Walk Panel is also great for the theatrical, stage, fashion, retail, trade show and display markets," added Loader. "Its creative possibilities are virtually endless."

The Cat Walk's three-in-one SMD LEDs offer controllable color mixing with the ability to create 16.7 million colors. The panel features 12-bit color processing, a 1,953Hz refresh rate and a 120° viewing angle.

The copmany says the Cat Walk is very user-friendly and has minimal maintenance and energy requirements. When linked in multiples, it features convenient auto DMX addressing. Its LEDs will last for 50,000 hours under normal operating conditions. It has a power draw of just 12W per panel. Each panel measures 7.88" x 7.88", and weighs just 0.5lb.
