City Theatrical to Exhibit at Prolight + Sound

City Theatrical will be demonstrating their SHoW DMX Neo and SHoW DMX SHoW Baby products at Prolight + Sound 2012 in Frankfurt, March 21-24. City Theatrical will give away a free pair of the LDI award-winning SHoW Babys to a lucky visitor. Sign up in the City Theatrical stand on the show floor, in Hall 9, stand C61. These two products are the latest in City Theatrical's 10 years of wireless DMX development and manufacturing. City Theatrical's SHoW DMX is used by lighting professionals on Broadway and West End shows, permanent entertainment installations, architectural landmarks, and major music tours such as the U2 360 Degree Tour.

SHoW DMX Neo features the extremely high data fidelity that the multi-award winning SHoW DMX is famous for, the company says, as well as incredibly fast 7ms latency, ensuring that wired and wireless DMX sources will appear exactly alike on a production. The on-board user interface allows optimized control over output power, full or limited bandwidth broadcast, and the ability to broadcast less than the full DMX packet to shrink the radio footprint. For the users who do not want to manually optimize their broadcast, SHoW DMX Neo also has Neo adaptive mode that will select only open radio channels to broadcast on, with no user intervention needed. SHoW DMX Neo will "heal" lost data packets, and has a SHoW DMX Neo classic mode to allow communication with all existing SHoW DMX equipment.

SHoW DMX Neo has advanced Ethernet gateway functions including dual Ethernet ports and accepts multiple show protocols such as sACN, Art-Net, and KiNet.

SHoW DMX Neo includes an RDM controller provided with the transceiver which allows anyone to monitor RDM devices from their laptop during the show, perform all radio setup functions, and to check RDM responder functions such as receiver signal strength, battery voltage on SHoW DMX Dimmers, change DMX addresses, and any other RDM functions that are supported by any manufacturer's equipment on the system. SHoW DMX Neo serves as both an RDM responder and proxy and will discover and control any RDM equipment on the system, and do it quickly and smoothly, the company says.

SHoW DMX SHoW Baby takes the same new, wireless DMX radio and puts it into a small, inexpensive, simple to operate package. Each box is a transceiver, and by plugging a DMX cable IN, it configures itself to be a transmitter. If nothing is plugged into the DMX IN port, it configures itself to be a receiver. That is the only user selectable option; everything else about the SHoW DMX SHoW Baby is completely plug and play. The SHoW DMX SHoW Baby's size, distinctive design, ease of use, and affordability make it the world's first consumer-grade wireless DMX, the company says.

Also shown on the stand will be City Theatrical's large range of unique lighting accessories for conventional entertainment lighting fixtures, LEDs, and moving lights.

Both SHoW DMX Neo and SHoW DMX SHoW Baby are designed and manufactured by City Theatrical in the U.S.A. in the company's Carlstadt, New Jersey factory.
