Chromlech to Exhibit at PLASA London 2013Chromlech, Brittany-based manufacturers of specialist lighting fixtures including the award-winning Elidy LED matrix fixture and Gleamer low-voltage dimmer, will be exhibiting at the PLASA London 2013 show in the White Light Zone on stand F39, October 6 - 9, at ExCel London. Elidy, the world's first LED matrix fixture capable of projecting volumetric graphics, first came to the attention of the industry when it was launched at PLASA 2012 and went on to win a coveted Etoile du SIEL the following year. Since then, Elidy has been used on tour with no less than Pink, Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Bon Jovi, One Direction, Rammstein, Depeche Mode, Bruno Mars, and the Pet Shop Boys, television shows including The X Factor, The Voice, and Yves Saint Laurent Fashion Show. Most recently Elidy has toured with Mumford and Sons where lighting designer Ed Warren has shared an imaginative use of the panels. At PLASA 2013 Chromlech will present Elidy software version 2.0 for the first time in the UK. Elidy version 2.0 introduces "animation maker," an integral powerful GIF sequencer which controls Elidy like a moving light using the minimum number of DMX channels. Effects such as dimming, shuttering, iris, and strobe effects can be brought into play and combined with two banks of animated gif images. The software includes 130 factory-set GIFs with room for the addition of 40 customized GIFs. Elidy v2.0 has added the capacity for sACN networking which means Elidy can now be driven with DMX, Art-Net, and sACN -- very useful for the smooth handling of big lighting systems with complex data networks as evidenced by the current Mumford and Sons tour. Animation maker can be controlled independently from pixel engine (Elidy's onboard pixel mapper), effectively creating two separate media engines. Control of each is via DMX or Art-Net and now sACN, each with its own network feed. Not only that but each of them can receive signals from a combination of any two of the three protocols. Elidy version 2.0 is available as a free upgrade. Examples of its capabilities can be seen at the URL below. Chromlech completes its Elidy range with the introduction of the Elidy Strip. Elidy Strip is an LED striplight composed of either five or 15 LEDs. It incorporates all the technology and functionality of the Elidy panels but with a few revolutionary new developments.
