Zero 88, part of Cooper Controls Ltd, launched ORB, a new theatrical lighting console based on market research and customer feedback. The ORB uses four universes of DMX control and the ZerOS software suite, the same platform underlying the operating system used for Zero 88’s Leap Frog and Frog 2. The ORB lets users control and integrate multiple LED fittings, intelligent lights or media servers controlling video along with generic dimming systems. The user interfaces include custom designed encoder wheels, multiple playback stacks, user definable keys and optional touch screens. The ORB also offers tools like an integrated track ball, automatic palettes and syntax keys for more experienced lighting operators. The ORB will be featured at the ProLight + Sound Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany. For more information, please visit www.orbdesk.com.
