CHAUVET Professional employed ArKaos Kling-Net protocol for its CHAUVET Professional ÉPIX Strip fixture, used to dramatic effect throughout its display. Additionally, CHAUVET Professional introduced a new fixture called CHAUVET Professional Nexus 4×4, which is controllable via ArKaos Kling-Net protocol as well as Art-Net and DMX. CHAUVET Professional Nexus 4×4 was also exhibited that combines new technology with a retro flair.
CHAUVET Professional ÉPIX Strip is a one-pixel wide strip light, designed for video and pixel-mapping applications with countless layout options. By allowing the automatic configuration of real-time video data, Kling-Net removes the complexity of setting up standard LED displays and speeds up the process. Its 40 tri-coloured SMD LEDs receive power and real-time data directly from the ÉPIX Drive 640 via an RJ45 connection. ÉPIX Drive 640 can automatically configure up to 16 units for rapidly composing a large pixel-mapping video system.
CHAUVET Professional Nexus 4×4 is designed as a bold eye-candy and a tour-ready wash light capable of delivering the sizzle of a pixel-mapping display and a robust light output afforded by 16 20-watt RGB COB LEDs. The combination of COB emitters and a reflector yields a striking, diffused light richly immersed in saturated hues. Nexus 4×4 features interlocking hardware to build large arrays.
The products were exhibited at four large booths – 2056, 2263, 2351, and 2357. LDI 2012 was held at Las Vegas Convention Center from 18-21 October.
