New Avolites Products Make UK Debut at PLASA Focus: Leeds

	Avolites Media's Sapphire Media Controller

The Avolites and Avolites Media teams were at PLASA Focus: Leeds earlier this week demoing products shown in the UK for the first time.

Avolites exhibited the Sapphire Touch and new Wing, offering an additional 30 Motorized Faders and third high resolution touch screen. The entire Titan range, two Titan Network Processor systems, and the Tiger Touch II with Wireless Remote were also available for demo and hands-on experience.

Avolites' Titan Mobile Fader Wing -- which enables expansion of every Avolites Titan console, giving direct access to extra handy features -- made its UK debut.

Avolites Media showcased Ai's video mapping capabilities, demoing interactive video controls, and discussing a number of high profile projects such as the recent Peter Pan theatre production, as profiled on the cover of LSi magazine.

From a hardware perspective, Avolites Media showcased the new S-Series Media Servers, along with the latest generation in the Infinity line, the Ai Infinity EX series. The Ai S2, S4 and S6 media server are the latest server systems from Avolites Media and offer two, four, and six display port / DVI outputs respectively. They feature third generation PCI Express motherboards, graphics cards, and RAID SSD drives for unrivalled performance along with 4K Ultra HD capability in the S4, S6, and S8 servers. The Dual Processor, highest specification S6 server also performs up to Apple Pro Res 4444 playback.

All systems are supplied with a fully featured Ai Miami license, which allows for eight discrete fixture groups with four layers each, producing a formidable 32 layers. In addition, the Salvation Engine can be easily configured to provide up to 64 layers of PIPs with a single server.

The Ai Infinity server, a record-breaker in the industry offering eight unique full HD DVI outputs, has also been upgraded to the Infinity EX. Like the S-Series, the Infinity EX now boasts third generation PCI Express motherboards and graphics cards providing unparalleled performance.

Alongside these features, the Infinity EX range has a wealth of further capabilities such as a front panel touch screen displaying the Ai Visualizer, internal EDIT management, and dual preview and projection outputs.

Avolites also previewed the Titan V8 software, with brand new System Networking features, and the MSC-1 Ai media server controller, which provides hands on live control in a compact user-friendly interface. Connecting directly to any Ai system the MSC-1 gives access to many user interface functions, effects, layers, and clips.
