Atomic Design
The Wafer Wall is lightweight, modular scenic element consisting of a three-dimensional, white wall for projecting color and images. Customizable 24"×24" panels ship light and are easy to install with a minimum of labor. A recent client used the Wafer Wall for a corporate event and found that it also takes projection well. The Diamond Wall features customizable 2'×4' diamond shapes that are hard goods but pack and hang like softgoods.

Chroma-Q™ Color Web
AC Lighting
Color Web is a transparent, modular LED matrix used to display low-resolution video effects. Each flexible 1×1m panel provides 16 individually addressable color mixing LED cells with a pitch of 10" (250mm). Panels clip together on all four sides and can be joined over distances using separately available interlinking cables, giving users complete control over the size and shape of the display area. In addition, as only 20% of the surface area is taken up by the lightweight webbing, it offers transparency for double hanging or multi-layering at distances. It can be lit through for maximum integration with set and other lighting elements. Ten 1m panels with PSU weigh less and cost comparably to a moving light. The web can be programmed using any DMX control device with each cell using three DMX channels (RGB), but it is ideally suited to integration with a media server. It is also IP65-rated for outdoor use. Designed and manufactured by Artistic Licence and distributed worldwide by A.C. Lighting, Chroma-Q™ Color Web is licensed by Artistic Licence, Color Kinetics, and Super Vision.

Rainbow Tube II
American DJ
Rainbow Tube II is an upgraded LED color tube. Suited for illumination of bars, lounges, club foyers, restaurants, architectural applications, and retail displays, it can be used two ways: either on its own with its proprietary Rainbow PP II controller or with the Rainbow PP II paired with any DMX console. When used with the Rainbow PP II alone, it can be run very easily from preprogrammed sequences to create six colors plus white. When used with both the Rainbow PP II and DMX, it allows users to customize effects with features like RGB color mixing and 0-100% dimming. One Rainbow PP II can control up to 1,000 color tubes that can follow 40 internal chase and color sequencing programs. The newest feature available in this mode is 0-100% dimming. Each tube is equipped with 144 LEDs (48 red, 48 green, 48 blue). With four DMX channels, users can design programs and control the chase sequences, the speed of the chase, the speed of the strobes, and the time interval between the different effects. Each color tube has its own power supply, allowing users to run up to 140 tubes on a single power source with no power boosters needed. The tubes are waterproof and can be used indoors or outdoors to suit a range of needs. The Rainbow PP II is not waterproof.

SketchUp® Plug-in for VectorWorks
Nemetschek
SketchUp® is a free plug-in for VectorWorks that eliminates the need to recreate SketchUp models in VectorWorks. The plug-in allows architectural models to be imported from SketchUp into VectorWorks as wall, roof face, and floor geometry. It also maps components to VectorWorks intelligent building objects. This will allow further editing and refinement of architectural models. The command provides control during import, during which SketchUp geometry is converted to architectural elements based on materials, layers, or geometry. Users can also let the command convert objects automatically using the orientation of the SketchUp geometry. The free plug-in supports SketchUp version 4 and higher. Macintosh® and Windows® plug-ins are available for download to all VectorWorks version 12 users.

Smart Track™ Lighting System
Altman Lighting
Smart Track™ is a revolutionary way to bring DMX signals to addressable luminaires without the need for dimmer packs and bulky cable runs. Altman's patent-pending Smart Track consists of a three-circuit track with DMX control built right in. This allows you to control the Smart IQseries luminaires without the need for cabling and remote dimmers. With onboard dimming and control, you can control quartz, CDM, and LED luminaires with this system. You can mix and match source types on this track, even on the same circuit. With its DMX Adapter, you can break out DMX for controlling automated lights and other DMX-based lighting products, so you do not need to run control cables to the lights. You can use simple architectural control stations; a laptop; or a DMX-based theatrical lighting console; and you can choose your protocol. When using RDM (Remote Device Management), you can get feedback from the luminaires, and you can remotely address each individual unit. This three-circuit DMX track is a good solution for any lighting application where appearance and versatility are important.
