City Theatrical Launches New WDS Products At PLASA 2006

City Theatrical is launching two new products in its WDS Wireless Data System™ product line at PLASA, a WDS™ Four Port Opto-Receiver and a WDS™ Candle Adapter.

The WDS™ Four Port Opto-Receiver receives a universe of DMX data via wireless broadcast from a WDS Transmitter, and turns it into four fully optically isolated five-pin XLR outlets. An external power supply allows for either mains or battery operation.

The WDS Candle Adapter allows the City Theatrical Candle Lite™ electronic flicker candles to be controlled or dimmed through WDS Dimmers, allowing for full wireless operation of stage candles. Recent installations of WDS Candle Adapters include the New York and Las Vegas companies of The Phantom of the Opera, and the New York production of The Coast of Utopia. City Theatrical’s WDS Wireless Data System is used when mission critical wireless DMX data transmission, battery operated low voltage dimming, or wireless control of Color Kinetics® lighting fixtures is required.
