LDI New Product: Ayrton DreamPanel Series

DreamPanel™-Shift from Ayrton is a 384x384mm video panel that uses 4,096 RGB LEDs on a pitch black background. Mounted on a moving head, it combines two technologies: the continuous pan-tilt rotation of the MagicPanel™ with the new control system from the HDMI DreamPanel™HD-Box. A 48-circuit rotating connector enables the smooth, undisturbed transmission of video signals through pan and tilt rotation. DreamPanel™-Twin is a hybrid luminaire displaying an optimized MagicPanel on one side and the DreamPanel Shift on the other. Incorporated into a motorized head capable of continuous double rotation on the pan and tilt axes, it can alternate between displaying high-definition video images and 3D volumetric lighting effects. The side has 4,096 RGB LEDs on a pitch black background, while the MagicPanel-R side has a resolution of 64 emitters arranged in an 8x8 matrix. The 6mm pitch of the video side offers a balance between the definition required to display video media on stage, the optimum screen size to enable full HD, and overall system brightness. The two sides are controlled completely separately: the video side through the HDMI DreamPanel HD-Box and the MagicPanel side by Art-Net or sACN through an Ethernet link. The HDMI DreamPanel HD-Box control system has been specially developed to drive video panels in HDMI, managing the image, the positioning of the panels, and the rotation between the media server layer, which generates the signal, and the display layer. It also resizes and positions the media in realtime in a matrix of video panels regardless of their orientation. The control system ensures that each DreamPanel-Shift tile receives the entire HDMI 1,080P image but displays only its allotted portion of the image. It is used with the DreamPanel™Manager, a PC-compatible software that lets the user configure a matrix, orientate the tiles individually with 1° accuracy, and adjust brightness.
