High End Systems Debuts New Products and Offers Factory Tours at PLASA Focus Austin

High End Systems, a Barco company, announced today that it will be showcasing a broad spectrum of product offerings at the 2012 PLASA Focus Austin tradeshow held February 22-23 in Austin, Texas. This year's event will serve as the launch pad for several new lighting products designed to enhance live events with creative lighting solutions. In addition, show attendees will have the opportunity to visit the High End Systems factory to see products as they are manufactured.

Continuing the development of digital lighting, High End Systems is launching the brand new DLV digital light. This addition to the largest digital lighting portfolio in the industry represents the next evolution in creative, video-based lighting, the company says. Built on the same industry standard software as the DL.3 digital light and Axon media server, the DLV brings digital lighting abilities to any stage, club, or application in a smaller form factor. With over 4,000 lumens of output from the three-chip LCD engine and the point-of-source of the Indigo Highlighter, a multitude of digital effects are possible.

Further demonstrating its commitment to automated lighting, High End Systems is unveiling the brand new TechnoArc automated luminaire. With output from a 575W discharge lamp, the TechnoArc is a full-featured, soft-edge automated luninaire available at a lower price point than other fixtures in its class. A unique hard-edge feature creates beam looks at an extremely tight beam angle. With a large exiting aperture, impressive zoom range, and full color mixing, the TechnoArc brings professional touring features to clubs, small theatres, and the like.

The DLV and TechnoArc will be on display at High End Systems Booth #909 along with other products such as Road Hog Full Boar, trackspot Bolt, and intellaspot. All attendees to the show are also invited to tour the High End Systems factory. Check at the booth for tour departure times.

On Wednesday, February 22 High End Systems and Academy of Production Technology will present a free concert for all PLASA Focus attendees at the legendary Blues club, Antone's in downtown Austin. Industry veterans The Swinging Johnsons will open for Devon Allman and Honeytribe.

"We are thrilled to have the lighting industry converge on our home town," said Bill Morris, CEO of High End Systems. "High End Systems has a multitude of new products planned for 2012 and the PLASA Focus Austin show is a fantastic event to start our year."
