LSC Lighting to Distribute Wireless Solutions
LSC Lighting Systems has been appointed as the sole Australian and New Zealand distributor for Wireless Solutions – the wireless DMX solutions company.
At the recent Entech tradeshow LSC were previewing the ingenious W-DMX products to much acclaim. W-DMX is very different from most other wireless DMX systems, as it is not based on Wi-Fi. Instead it uses its own proprietary format and spreads the data over 200 channels to ensure reliable operation in even the worst possible conditions. One company that decided to trial a system was renowned Sydney-based hire company Lots of Watts.
“Here at Lots of Watts we had tried and tested a few wireless DMX systems over the years without much success,” stated Daniel Monro from Lots of Watts. “That is until we saw the new W-DMX system at Entech. We thought we would give the system a run for its money at Hillsong Church's recent album recording at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.”
Daniel admits that the SEC is a venue in which they had tried many other wireless DMX systems before, with the result being nothing more than grief. “It would result in us having to run a lead up to the roof to make the system work,” he said. “This time around, with the W-DMX units, we installed the receiver in the roof of the main arena to supply data for all the moving lights covering the audience, with the transmitter sitting at dimmer-land. Once the transmitter was synched up to the receiver (which took less than 10 seconds), the system worked very well with little delay in response time.”
Daniel reports that the system did not miss a beat throughout the rehearsal and show and that it was very easy to set up and run.
“The system worked so well that when we came in each day and powered up the system the units remained synched with each other,” he said. “The Lots of Watts crew was very impressed with the reliability of the system.”
