The Renaisance Man is a master of many disciplines, but the Renaissance Machine is what was on display at PLASA 2008. The new technologies and new adaptations of existing technology were unparalleled in the industry. Here's a sample…
PRG brought out three new products, including the V676™ Console; the Bad Boy™ large venue luminaire; and the Mbox EXtreme™ v3 media server. The Bad Boy Luminaire outputs 48,000 lumens with a very wide ranging zoom (8:1 from 7° to 56°) and its servo motors provide speedy movements between colors and gobos as well as fast pan and tilt for a large fixture. Its Quantum Color® system produces nicely saturated colors. The PRG V676 console features eight touchscreen monitors, including five monitors built into the low-profile face panel, Super Palettes with a graphical interface for color, template, preset, macro, snapshot, and timing selection, six encoders, plus full–time pan, tilt, and intensity control. Mbox Extreme v3 Media Server features increased speed, streamlined user control, brand new hardware, and enhanced input and output options.
