Lightfactor with SGM Giotto Digital 1500 and More
The Lightfactor stand at ABTT will filled with a wide selection of interesting products aimed at core theatre and live performance orientated applications from high profile manufacturers like SGM and LDR from Italy; SFAT from France and LightProcessor from the UK. Lightfactor is the exclusive UK distributor for all these products.
One of the highlights from SGM is the new Giotto Digital 1500 fixture. Using a special patented application of DLP technology, the Giotto Digital 1500 combines digital effects generation with a fully-featured moving head fixture. It offers the features of a moving light with an innovative all-digital system for generating graphic effects, whilst maintaining fundamental features like fast movement, brightness, control standards and compact dimensions.
Giotto Digital 1500 can be used to create completely customizable all-digital graphic effects. It transcends the restrictions of standard gobos and offers an almost endless library of images and clips extremely quickly using BMP, JPG and AVI-MPEG4 files. These can be uploaded to the fixture heads by USB cable or WIFI.
SGM's entire 1500 range is modular - allowing 1500 Wash, Spot, Beam, Profile or Digital fixtures to be fitted to the same base The new Giotto Beam 1500 will also be shown on the stand.
LightProcessor's range of Location dimmers will be prominent.

Location dimmers come with integral mains lead, local control plus DMX and analogue inputs, plus multifunction back lit LCD display, and are designed as a complete ‘ready-to-go', out of the box, plug-in-and-play dimming system.
A selection of LightProcessor's dynamic range of installation dimmers will also be at ABTT.
