GDS at PLASA Focus
This year's PLASA Focus sees award-winning GDS (Global Design Solutions) exhibit on stand S-A6 a number of new, innovative products, including additions to its highly successful LiteWare and CueSystem ranges.
GDS will showcase the newest addition to the LiteWare range, LiteWare HO (High Output). Following the success of LiteWare wireless RGB uplighter, launched in 2009, LiteWare HO is a high output version offering 80Watts of LED power. Designed to be completely compatible with the existing LiteWare range, the LiteWare HO product is the same footprint as the standard version and is calibrated to deliver colour-matched output.
Also at the show will be the new TCP-IP CueSystem, a networked cue light system which launches at ProLight and Sound 2010. In an industry first, with the ever-increasing trend towards completely networked show control and lighting systems, the TCP-IP CueSystem bridges the gap for stage management environments.
The TCP-IP CueSystem uses the established ergonomic control platform with standard GDS outstations. Output nodes are then used for cue light channel distribution in the field all connected to a single network. Web server configuration from an internet viewer allows for configuration and patching of cue light channels. Storage and playback of cues for running a show can be simply created by taking snapshots of the control platform, or programming the system via the web server.
In addition, RS232 commands can be used to either control individual channels or trigger stored cues for simple connectivity to other show control systems.
Other ranges being exhibited at PLASA Focus include the multi-award winning BluesSystem and MainsSystem working lights, MotorControl - a four-way, modular motor control system - The Stage Managers Console and MOBAL, the multi-functional Socapex fault diagnosis and correction tool.
GDS is a multi-award winning UK manufacturer with a diverse range of technology-based products. Based in Bristol with offices in the US, it has six innovative brands in its product portfolio specialising in lighting and control solutions.
