Mac Tech HPL 12 Mini Dino Light
Bardwell & McAlister
Mac Tech HPL 12 Mini Dino lights are suitable for concert, film, and television applications. Manufactured using aircraft-quality aluminum and weighing 50% less than the lights they were designed to replace, the fixture uses ETC Source Four HPL technology and hand-wired and assembled components, combined with any one of five PAR64 interchangeable lenses. Output using the 575W HPL bulb is better than a 1,000W PAR64, and it requires 45% less power and less heat. The parabolic reflector creates a smooth field of light with any lens option. Lens sets are available in hard or soft cases by request. Mac Tech HPLs are fully licensed under patent by ETC.

Rescue Tape
Harbor Products
Rescue Tape® is a self-fusing silicone tape with no adhesive, suitable for use in emergencies, all-purpose repairs, and electrical wiring. It is rated at 700 PSI strength, insulates 8,000V, and withstands 500°F, down to -85°F. When stretched and wrapped under tension, it fuses quickly and permanently into one piece of silicone, creating an airtight, watertight seal that's resistant to oils, fuels, acids, solvents, salt water, road salt, and UV rays. It never gets gummy or sticky, and it can be used to wrap wiring harnesses, waterproof electrical connections, and protect battery cables and terminals on vehicles and equipment.

4×4 Component Audio Matrix Switcher
Gefen
The 4×4 Component Audio Matrix is a rack-mountable matrix that enables a plug-and-play connection between four component video sources and four component video displays. It supports all set-top boxes, digital video recorders, disc players, and video devices equipped with component video connectors. Because the component format does not transmit audio, Gefen has equipped this switcher with RCA left/right connectors so audio is delivered with video. It delivers high definition resolution up to 1080p. System setup requires a connection of four component video and audio cables to the inputs and four component displays to the outputs. Users assign each source to a display using the IR remote that comes with the system, the front-panel buttons, or the RS232 connection with smart control. To distribute component video and audio up to 1,000', a Component Audio Extender is available.
