ADJ: Pixie Driver 8000
Four times more powerful than the existing Pixie Driver 2000, the new Pixie Driver 8000 model features eight independent output ports for connecting Pixie Strip LED pixel battens using the system’s proprietary 4-pin combined power and data connections. Each port is capable of driving up to 1,020 pixels of Pixie Strip fixtures using the KlingNet, Art-Net, or sACN protocols. This means that up to 34 Pixie Strip 30s, or 17 Pixie Strip 60s, or 8 Pixie Strip 120s can be connected to each port. Power is supplied to the Pixie Driver 8000 via a standard PowerLock input socket and the unit features two Ethernet ports for connection to a control system.
Avolites: Titan v16.0 Software
Version 16 is a major new release of Avolites’ lighting and integrated media control Titan software, which includes two new main features, developed to assist programmers and operators by providing fast access to the data they need. Freeform Layout view provides the ability to arrange and select fixtures in a 2D layout either manually, or automatically from the integrated Capture visualizer, streamlining the workflow from design to programming. A new window called Cue List Tracking View provides a way to view and edit the values and tracking of individual fixtures/attributes in a cue list. The upgrade also comes with a raft of new bug fixes and improvements to the software operating performance.
Defender: Xpress Series Cable Protectors
Drop-over cable protectors are available in two versions (XPRESS 40 and XPRESS 100) with 40 mm and 100 mm wide cable ducts and can be quickly and easily placed over cables and hoses that have already been laid. XPRESS models have the DEFENDER 3D LaserGrip® surface for particularly high slip and tread resistance. With its special shape and surface structure, it also minimizes the risk of accidentally moving an entire cable protector line. The lack of a base is a major factor in this. DEFENDER cable protectors do not contain toxic, environmentally harmful PVC, and they are produced sustainably with stable, break-proof TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), which is mainly made from recycled plastics.

Lectrosonics: M2Ra Digital Wireless Monitor Receiver
The M2Ra Digital Wireless Monitor Receiver, the next-generation receiver that is part of Lectrosonics’ M2 Duet Digital wireless IEM family. The new M2Ra receiver builds upon the original version and features several key improvements and new features. The M2 System employs unique digital technology to provide ruler-flat frequency response, wide dynamic range with no compression, and maximum channel separation for rock-solid stereo imaging or reliable mono operation with no crosstalk. The digital audio eliminates a compandor and the associated artifacts. The result is crystal clear sound and extremely low distortion with extremely low latency of 1.6 ms. The transmitter and receiver housings are all-metal for maximum durability, and both analog and Dante™ digital signal sources are supported.
Naostage: K SYSTEM Tracking Solution
The K SYSTEM tracking system from Naostage makes it easy to create immersive, interactive live experiences by seamlessly identifying and following performers wherever they are in a defined tracking area – allowing for the automation of an endless array of lighting, audio, video, and media effects in real-time, in perfect sync with the show. As a beaconless solution, Naostage requires no additional hardware, such as sensors or tags, to be attached to artists. Once rigged, the plug-and-play sensor scans the space in 3D, feeding data to the K SYSTEM processing unit, which automatically identifies each target in real time.

Vectorworks: Cloud and Mobile Enhancements Using Apple Technology
Updates to Vectorworks 2023 provide users with a more efficient and reliable experience on Vectorworks Cloud Services and the Vectorworks Nomad mobile app utilizing Apple’s technology. The existing Photos to 3D Model feature in Vectorworks Cloud Services has been upgraded to take advantage of Apple’s new photogrammetry API on macOS, known as Object Capture. Using Apple’s room scanning framework, RoomPlan, the Nomad mobile app can now produce models with classified geometry, such as walls, windows, openings and doors, which can be imported directly into a Vectorworks model. Users can quickly scan an existing room layout using their iOS mobile device to create an accessible and easy to use reality capture.
Wenger: Stagelink Power Management System
Wenger’s Stagelink power management system is built with LynTec’s motorized breaker panels and features the Square D Powerlink™ hardware platform. Stagelink power distribution options include Distributed System Architecture (DSA) and Centralized System Architecture (CSA) options. DSA positions the power management hardware near lights, hoists, and audio. Meaning less conduit, load wire, and terminations and eliminates concerns related to harmonics and voltage drop, so acoustic isolation and oversized conductors disappear. DSA has no impact on venue performance and maintenance; savings come from a cleaner design that minimizes electrical installation and general construction costs. CSA integrates larger panels for a traditional distribution system. The Stagelink system can combine DSA and CSA to best meet the venue’s needs and budget.
JW Winco US: Down-Thrust Clamp
JW Winco offers the down-thrust clamp as a new, compact and universal clamping element. With a clamping arm that swivels away to the side, workpieces can be fixed in the correct position quickly and securely without getting in the way. The new down-thrust clamp GN 9192 made from case-hardened steel can be fastened to a machine table with T-slots or to a fixture plate. The clamping arm can then be swiveled by hand and positioned over the inserted workpiece in any position. After release, workpieces can be removed again from above just as quickly and easily once the clamping arm has been swiveled to the side – even when space is tight.
