Hands-on with PID at PLASA
Projected Image Digital - digital video solutions specialists - will feature three hands-on areas on Stand F92 - highlighting a selection of their range of digital video products. The three areas will be focused on the Catalyst V4 software and media servers; the various digital output devices that PID distributes plus a full range of digital content products. Each area will have seating and hands-on stations, and PID staff will be on hand to answer questions and offer advice.
Catalyst - the first established digital media server for the entertainment industry - offers huge creative flexibility combined with affordability in a wide range of options from ‘Lite' to ‘PRO' versions to suit all budgets and applications. Catalyst V4 features include multiple camera inputs and remote triggering, and non-DMX control surfaces for Catalyst are also available for projects not required to run via a lighting or other control console. This is in addition to up to 14 layers of video playback, dual output, eight mixes and the 10 DMX Universes that are all available with Catalyst PRO software. PID will also show an array of Catalyst related hardware such as the new single and dual input HDSDI cards from Active Silicon, plus Luminex, MTRON and others which allow users to configure Catalyst to suit their exact needs.
PID also illustrates some of its versatile range of digital output devices, popular for numerous projects from entertainment to architectural. These will include high and low resolution LED screens, surfaces, pixels and tubes, plus partner brands Element Labs and High End Systems'. HES Digital and Pixelation luminaires will be highlighted, along with their WholeHog lighting consoles.
Digital Content collections from PID include the popular Digital Juice, Frame FX, Motion Loops, Dosch Designs and Beacon software. With content becoming so integral to many shows, events and installations, having access to the right sources is increasingly important. PID distributes a carefully selected range offering the most creative options.
PLASA 08 is also an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in training on Catalyst, Hog lighting consoles and HES moving light fixtures plus Element Labs technicals - to sign up for a session at PID's new and expanded facility in Chiswick, West London.
PID is committed to providing full and ongoing training on the products it distributes, and is highly proactive in organizing and promoting digital product awareness events like the recent Digital Light University and Catalyst/DL-3 Test Drive. The company is running Catalyst training and hands-on days immediately after PLASA on the Thursday and Friday of that same week in the new premises, featuring a fully dedicated training area. This is a perfect opportunity for those wanting to learn Catalyst V4 or just to practice in a relaxed 'non-show' setting. On the Thursday evening, PID hosts a BBQ and social night for all those attending.
