Artistic Licence to Exhibit at Prolight + SoundArtistic Licence will be showcasing a number of new products, catering for the Art-Net/sACN, DMX512 and DALI lighting control markets at Prolight + Sound April 10 -13 in Hall 3.0 stand G44 in Frankfurt. Artistic Licence CEO, Wayne Howell, will be present throughout the show to answer questions, aided by the company's German distribution partner, Soundlight. It will be showing the next generation of Artistic Licence Ethernet-to-DMX gateways. Based on a more powerful chip technology, the range provides full support for the award-winning Art-Net 4 protocol, giving access to impressive new functionality not offered in earlier releases. dataLynx II is a 1U 19" rack mount Ethernet to DMX512 gateway. It converts 12 universes of Art-Net (supports all versions up to Art-Net 4) or sACN ethernet into DMX512/RDM. The product features 12 DMX512/RDM outputs, using front mounted Neutrik connectors: a choice of XLR 3-pin, 5-pin, or 8-pin (Ethercon) connectors is offered. The product is available with standard or extreme levels of electrical protection. Also in preview is dataLynx II SFP, which supports gigabit copper and fiber connections. * Art-Net 4 and sACN compatible
* 10BaseT and 100BaseT Ethernet port (Ethercon) with support for DHCP
* SFP variant (gigabit) in preview
* Protected outputs can withstand any international mains voltage
* "Extreme" model additionally features electrical surge protection
* RDM enable per output
* Power, network, and DMX activity LED indicators
* Improved and faster web-server for configuration Also on show, artLynx quad and artLynx duo are DIN rail mounted products that convert Art-Net (all releases) or sACN to four (quad) or two (duo) DMX/RDM universes. To be launched at the show, Artistic Licence announces matisse f6 dmx and matisse d4 dmx. These products are programmable, multi-function DMX controllers presented in a wall-mount format. All the electronics are mounted on the rear of the panel, so there is no need for external control boxes. matisse f6 dmx is operated using six faders. Depending on the operational mode chosen, each fader can control a single output channel (preset mode) or RGB/I color (hue fader mode). Additionally, in scene mixer mode, each fader can playback a 512 channel scene; the scenes can be mixed together with the faders operating as master faders. LTP/HTP can be programmed on a per channel basis. An external source of DMX512 is required for scene mixer programming. All configuration or programming is achieved with a simple set of configuration switches on the rear panel. * Wall mount DMX controller
* DMX512 output
* Six illuminated faders
* 512 channel output
* Grand master control
* Multiple functions including preset, scene mixer, hue fader, and merge mode
* Supports data merging (LTP/HTP) and data fixing
* Simple DIP switch configuration
* Easy push-button programming -- no external software required
* Link multiple panels to one DMX cable
* Custom panel finish and silk screen available on special order
* External 9-12 VDC PSU required matisse d4 dmx is a stylish, multi-function DMX architectural controller. The product offers the same functionality as the matisse f6 dmx, but the form factor is different -- a wall panel with four rotary dials, available in a choice of material finishes. * Wall mount DMX controller
* DMX512 output
* Four rotary dials
* 512 channel output
* Grand master control
* Multiple functions including preset, scene mixer, hue fader, and merge mode
* Supports data merging (LTP/HTP) and data fixing
* Simple DIP switch configuration
* Easy push-button programming -- no external software required
* Link multiple panels to one DMX cable
* Available in a variety of material finishes, including chrome and brushed steel
* External 9-12 VDC PSU required In a major new development, Artistic Licence is proud to launch daliGate quad, a product that promises to transform the DALI lighting control market, by enabling seamless integration with Art-Net infrastructure -- thus avoiding the need for proprietary solutions. daliGate quad is a DIN rail product with Art-Net/sACN on the input and four DALI outputs. daliGate quad allows a lighting desk to control DALI alongside DMX. Uniquely, it maps the entire DALI command set (with DALI 2 compatibility) to RDM parameters -- this means that any lighting controller that supports RDM over Art-Net can access all DALI commands. All DALI commissioning can be controlled remotely by the lighting controller. Broadcast, group, and channel addressing can be used at same time to increase flexibility. daliGate quad has a data capture system built in, allowing it to be used as a test and analysis tool in combination with DMX-Workshop (the free software package available from Artistic Licence). If daliGate quad is used alongside an Ethernet gateway (such as artLynx quad), a single lighting desk could then control and commission any combination of DMX and DALI fixtures. * DALI routing by Ethernet
* Four DALI ports, protected from mains electrocution
* 10/100BaseT Ethernet Port
* DHCP
* Factory reset / squawk button
* RDM V1.0 (E1.20 - 2010 ESTA Standard)
* PoE (IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard) supported
* Power, network, and data activity indicators
* Art-Net/sACN compatible
* DIN Rail mounting Artistic Licence offers an unusually broad range of DMX control products. For a product that can merge two DMX streams to one output, the company offers Rail-Merge. For DMX-controlled mains relay switching, there is Rail-Switch II, or catering for DMX-to-analog conversion, Artistic Licence offers Rail-Demux. And, for DMX distribution, there is the Rail-Split range with a product for every need, from the budget-beating Rail-Split DMX to the premium model, Rail-Split extreme.
