Aqua Visual FX
Aqua Visual FX Inc.
From Pyrotek Special Effects Inc. and Laser Design Productions Inc., Aqua Visual FX is a water screen that creates a waterfall billboard to exhibit custom-animated graphics, shapes, and text images through a programmed sequence of water droplets. The system comprises three major components: a water-management system that controls water cycling and programming automation through optical control sensors; a central computer system that manages to store and program custom show sequences and images to correspond to the user's creative needs and applications; and a series of intelligent droplet controllers that will pixilate the flowing streams of water. The water-management system includes automatic and manual optical control sensors that allow complete water cycling and creative programming automation. The water modules are manufactured in 6' lengths with the ability to interconnect to produce custom water screen lengths (12', 24', 36', and 48'). Additional 2' sections can be designed for custom-tailored requirements. Aqua FX also provides a projection surface to choreograph custom laser designs and Brash 3-D multimedia images.

BeamWare 2 for Iconyx
Renkus-Heinz
BeamWare 2, the latest software upgrade for Iconyx digitally controlled array systems, displays horizontal and vertical coverage for a single array. Plan views can be imported in a variety of graphic formats. Tools such as Auto-Focus allow designers to define and steer multiple beams from each Iconyx IC8 array module. When a design is ready, the software calculates the FIR filters required to produce the beams and aiming angles and uploads them to the arrays via RS-232. Each FIR filter is derived from a new calculation engine that has been optimized during extensive real-world measurements. Version 2 is a Windows application allowing the system designer to specify both plan and section views of the audience area(s), build and hang a virtual Iconyx array, and optimize coverage by defining and aiming one or more beams of acoustic energy.
