Chauvet Launches ILS Technology

Chauvet's ILS™ technology pioneers total synchronization of different types of intelligent ILSTM fixtures (yokes, scanners, color changers, etc.) via a custom-built, user-friendly DMX-512 controller and even on stand-alone mode. “This is a first for CHAUVET, and a first in the USA. We are thrilled that we can now offer a technology that is not only innovative but gives much more options to DJs while making DMX lighting easier than ever,” said CHAUVET CEO Albert Chauvet.

ILS™- Integrated Lighting System

CHAUVET’s exclusive and groundbreaking ILS™ technology offers unprecedented flexibility and ease of operation. ILS™ stands for integrated lighting system. Unlike other moving fixtures that can only be synchronized when they are the same type, ILS™ intelligent fixtures can be linked together and work in perfect synchronization regardless of their type. You can synchronize ILS-equipped scanners, yokes, color changers easily and at once! All ILS™ intelligent fixtures - i.e. ILS™ scanners, yokes and projectors- can be synchronized even on stand-alone mode or through a specially designed, user-friendly ILS-Con controller that is pre-programmed with 12 different and adjustable shows and can control all types of ILS™ lights at the same time. Another huge advantage of the ILS technology is that the ILS-Con controller can remotely set the DMX addresses of ILS™ luminaires, eliminating the need to calculate and set the DMX channels of each fixture and climb a ladder to access your hanging fixtures. All ILS™ units are also controllable via any universal DMX-512 controller and in that case, they perform like any other standard DMX-512 fixture. Conversely, the ILS-Con custom-built controller is a universal DMX-512 controller and, when used with non-ILS fixtures, performs like any other universal DMX-512 controller. CHAUVET will premiere the technology at summer NAMM. ILS-CON™ DMX-512 Controller The ILS-Con controller is a universal DMX-512 controller, specially designed to make DMX lighting a snap. It can control any type of DMX-512 fixture but is specially designed to control fixtures equipped with ILS™ technology. Consistent DMX addressing allows the ILS-Con controller to control all types of ILS™ fixtures (scanners, moving yokes..) at the same time. It automatically and remotely assigns dipswitches to all ILS™ fixtures, eliminating the need to set addresses on each individual fixture. It features a built-in effect engines, easily selectable gobo and color functions, a built-in fog controller and a strobe controller. Chauvet will introduce this controller and three ILSTM fixtures at summer NAMM.

COLORTRACK 250DCR-ILS™/TRACKSCAN™ 250 DSR-ILS/TRACKSCAN™ 250DBR-ILS Scanner

Trackscan™ 250 DSR-ILS Scanner/Trackscan™ 250DBR-ILS Barrel

Consistent ILS™ configuration allows you to link these DMX-512 scanners with other ILS™ moving fixtures on stand-alone mode or via a specially designed ILS-Con™ controller. These 7-channel fixtures boast the smooth movement, brilliant colors and exceptional projection capability of much more expensive fixtures. Each unit features a powerful MSD 250-watt discharge lamp, microstepping motors, 100% dimming capability, 9 dichroic colors, seamless split colors, 7 rotating and replaceable gobos (4 metal, 2 glass, 1 effect). They can also be controlled via any universal DMX-512 controller, including CA-8 Easy controller and the new CA-8F Easy Foot controller.

Colortrack™ 250DCR-ILS

This 5-channel Chauvet color changer is fitted with a powerful discharge lamp, 9 dichroic colors plus open (and split colors capability), rotating and replaceable gobos, 0-100% dimming. It is equipped with ILS™ technology, which makes it linkable to other types ILS™ fixtures such as the new Trackscan DSR-ILS either on stand-alone mode or via the specially designed, user-friendly ILS-Con™ controller that can remotely set DMX addresses and run all ILS™ fixtures at the same time. The gobo wheel can accept a total of 7 gobos and comes with 4 gobos (2 glass, 1 effect, 1 metal), 2 color corrections filters and 1 frost filter.
