Visual Productions at PLASA Focus: LeedsVisual Productions will be exhibiting at PLASA Focus: Leeds April 30 and May 1 at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. Although regular attendees to PLASA Focus, this is the first time that Visual Productions take their own stand, RA-A15. Following on from the successful launch of two new products at Prolight + Sound, Visual Productions now bring these products direct to the UK market: CueluxPro software lighting control and the B-Station, networked button interface. These two new products compliment and enhance the current Visual Productions product line. CueluxPro is an advanced and scalable software lighting control application. The software is designed to control medium to large lighting installations, for both architectural and live entertainment situations. CueluxPro works in combination with the CueCore and IoCore as its DMX and IO interfaces and with the new B-Station user-interface. As with the popular Cuelux software, CueluxPro is cross-platform for Windows, Mac, or Ubuntu Linux, and works with an industry-standard Cuelist system. It is 100% touchscreen compatible. CueluxPro is a scalable system. The user can start by using a single CueCore and expand up to eight CueCores, several IoCores, and multiple B-Stations. All hardware peripherals are connected via Ethernet. The software's Matrix Control, a Pixel Mapper for controlling LED matrices, is a feature deeply embedded within the operation of CueluxPro. It is very intuitive to control the matrix in unison with the other fixture types. In fact, multiple matrices can be controlled from CueluxPro using a variety of internal effects or external graphical content. CueluxPro features a timeline editor for programming accurate light-shows. The timeline can be synchronized by time-code protocols like SMPTE and MTC. The products are designed allowing as much flexibility as required in the typical applications. The CueluxPro software supports many protocols including DMX-512, Art-Net, MIDI, UDP, OSC, MTC, SMPTE, RS-232, and GPI. The protocols can be used for triggering events within the software or for converting into one of the other signals. The B-Station is a wall-mount button panel with six push-buttons. The B-Station can remote control any function within the CueCore solid-state lighting controller. The buttons are back-lit and can provide visual feedback, for example, to indicate the selected cue or active show. Multiple B-Stations can be networked together. The button station supports various open protocols like OSC, UDP, and Art-Net. This allows it to be integrated with other third party network-based systems as well, (e.g. audio, video, or show control systems). For small architectural projects, the B-Station contains an inbuilt lighting controller that is capable of programming 32 fixtures and a maximum of 768 cues. The lighting can be divided into six individually controlled zones. This stand-alone controller even features an FX generator for effects like sinus, rainbow, twinkle, random strobe, etc. All programming is done via the web-interface, no additional client software is required. Features include: - Six back-lit buttons - Comes with a collection of labels, ranging from numbers, icons and colors - Fits European and North American gang boxes - Supports UDP, OSC, Art-Net, and DMX protocols - In-built stand-alone lighting controller for six zones, including FX Generator Both products are available to see. Demos are available on the Visual Productions stand, RA-A15 at PLASA Focus: Leeds. ![](/std_images/blank.gif)
