Avolites Ltd – A Robe Business – plans the UK debut of the Diamond 7 (D7), the newest addition to the Diamond collection of consoles, at this year’s London PLASA show on stand C28 within the Robe village. Two variants, D7-330 and D7-215, positioned as the ultimate travel and performance console, that can be packed in a standard Peli Air case and checked in as hold luggage to fly anywhere with you, will be on the Avolites stand for demonstration.

Other hardware available for demonstration on the stand includes our flagship lighting control console the Diamond 9, with both variants D9-330 and D9-215, along with the T3 and T3-W – our smallest footprint professional lighting control product, where portability, compactness and performance are crucial. Plus, our tried and trusted ‘Essential Collection’ Sapphire Touch, Arena, Tiger Touch II and Quartz consoles, providing great performance and a popular choice for the cost-conscious who are looking to achieve a lot of bang for their buck. Our powerful ‘Production Grade’ Q-series media server range will also be present with the Q3, demonstrating our Synergy feature set (which brings lighting and video together, offering creative programmers a streamlined workflow for all the visual elements on their stage). Our long-standing software platforms Titan, Ai and the newest media software platform Prism, designed for lighting designers, are powering all our hardware products, and will be demonstrated in an eight-seater theatre style demo area on our stand. All our hardware will be ably supported by our networking products Titan Net Switch (TNS) and Titan Net Processor (TNP).

Also making its debut at the PLASA show this year will be the latest version of Prism. Prism One, following on from the introduction of Prism Player and Prism Zero, is an important milestone in the development of this application suite, designed predominantly for lighting designers. Key features in this version of Prism One include: added preview window, cross fade on a layer, hardware decode acceleration for H.264/H.265, control over multiple banks and layers, live input and NDI input, added virtual return and region of interest on outputs. Together with Synergy we’ve added control to surface and layers, NDI previews, cross fade duration and speed control. As well as updates to improve playback performance on AiM, NotchLC, and HAP media.

(Prism is Avolites’ software application suite for video previewing, adjusting, and encoding for Ai. Designed with a modern interface, specifically for lighting designers, so users feel the familiarity that makes it easy to use. It is part of our ecosystem approach to lighting and video integration, and now has a fast-growing base of users.)

Paul Wong, Avolites Managing Director said, “We have a fantastic product line-up on our stand this year, that showcases Avolites’ depth of portfolio with full control of the whole visual canvas, we are really looking forward to meeting customers and supporters and demonstrating our growing hardware and software product range with our renowned ‘Ease of Use’ approach.”

Wong added, “We are all really looking forward to seeing a packed stand again this year and hearing the feedback of our enthusiastic users. It is going to be a great show!”
