We have lots and lots of new things to show you this year at LDI. Six major products plus a number of smaller products that all will make your lighting life easier in some way. From very high tech to simple metal accessories, we have a wide range of new gear for you to see and try. Please visit us in booth #1151. We hope to see you there!
SHoW DMX™

We debuted SHoW DMX at LDI 2007 in pre production form but this is the first time it has been seen in full production with all accessories. Stop by to see this multi award winning product and to get a full demo of its features, including: Synchronized Hopping, Limited Bandwidth, Limited Output Power, Limited Burst Mode, RDM, Art-Net, and many other features.

iW Blast® TR Lighting Kit

This is a portable LED lighting kit for location lighting of film/video that gives users very bright output and control of intensity and color temperature. The kit includes three Philips Color Kinetics iW Blast TR LED fixtures, plus stands, mounts, barndoors, egg crate louvers, polycarbonate holographic lenses in both symmetric and asymmetric types, and controllers that can be either mains or battery powered. (external batteries not included in the kits but may be ordered separately)

Lightwright 5™

John McKernon will be with us to demonstrate his latest version of this award winning lighting paperwork software. Lightwright is a standard of the industry, and is used on nearly 100% of Broadway shows and tours. If you are a professional lighting designer, it's very likely that you are a Lightwright user. This new version features data exchange with Vectorworks, worksheet history, worksheet reconciliation for multiple users, network connectivity, color scroll and moving light wheel design windows and loads of other new features. Lightwright just keeps getting better and better!

MasterBlast™

The MasterBlast is our newest LED product for wireless event lighting. Starting with a Philips Color Kinetics ColorBlast 12 TR, we add a battery base and a power/data supply with our SHoW DMX wireless DMX. Loads of built in stand alone routines, EB (Extended Battery) mode for 10 hours of use, built in battery gauge, interchangeable unbreakable lenses, and user selection of each unit as either a transmitter or receiver make the MasterBlast a standout for events. Carry it in, set it down, and start to light!

VSFX3™

We've made an updated version of the classic White Light VSFX projector. Ours is a perfectly smooth and perfectly quiet projection device that makes the type of moving images that lighting designers dream about. Come see us projecting perfect fluffy clouds on the screen above our booth.

DMX Snow Machine™

We built these machines for the new Broadway production of "Billy Eliot." This 4' long rotating drum has smooth and quiet DMX control for a wide range of speeds to produce a variety of snow effects on your productions. Have a Nutcracker or Christmas Carol coming up? This machine is for you!

Here are some smaller but important products seen for the first time at LDI 2008:

Outdoor Enclosure for SHoW DMX

This is a plastic IP rated enclosure that allows the use of our SHoW DMX Transmitter or Receiver in outdoor settings.

Source Four Color Frame

We've deigned a new Source Four color frame that is 10% less expensive and 33% lighter than our standard steel frame. It's an aluminum frame that's strong but light, and its ease of construction allows us to sell it for less than our standard frame. We think that's a win-win for everyone!

Sliding Tees

We now have our own City Theatrical brand of sliding Tees for your sidearms. Made from rugged cast iron.
