ACN and W-DMX to PLASA and LDI.
Hands-on demonstrations of ACN and W-DMX Sand Network Systems
hosted ETC, Martin,
Pathway Connectivity, and
Wireless Solutions AB at
this years LDI Connectivity Pavilion. On display were ACN, RDM and
W-DMX technology giving attendees a glimpse into the future of networked
and wireless lighting and show control. Sand Network Systems also
gave an ACN and W-DMX presentation at the always well attended Friday
morning The success at LDI follows Sand Network Systems participation in the ETC hosted Connectivity Suite at PLASA in London. Equipment from Martin, ETC and it's European brands AVAB, Transtechnik, and IES, as well as network technology from Sand Network Systems, gave the European market a chance to get a better understanding of the technologies that will "carry the load" in future entertainment control systems.
ACN repeat at USITT 2004! Sand Network Systems participates in Sand Network Systems and major players in the lighting industry reaffirmed their commitment to the ACN standard in the form of another very successful ESTA Interconnectivity Pavilion at the recent USITT Conference and Trade Show in Long Beach, California. “The ACN effort has gathered significant momentum and the Interconnectivity Pavilion proved that interest is growing across a wide spectrum of industry participants, from manufacturers to end users. ACN benefits from continued active support among major manufacturers like ETC, Strand, and Martin, as well as from ESTA and PLASA”, says President of Sand Network Systems Hans Lau. Sand Network Systems showcased several ACN products based on draft 1.0:
“These types of interfaces and utilities are essential for a successful implementation of ACN. Sand Network Systems holds significant expertise in this area of network technology and will continue to develop support products to facilitate a rapid deployment of ACN”, says CTO Yngve Sandboe.
ACN success at LDI 2003! Sand Network Systems
participates in ESTAs Sand Network Systems could present an ACN enabled version of the highly acclaimed SandNet network operating system demonstrating ACN device management, manufacturer interoperability, and connectivity to RDM and DMX legacy equipment. SandNet will be released in a completely ACN based version when the standard allows and preview versions will be available for download shortly. We also demonstrated ACN connectivity to the WYSIWYG, Martin ShowDesigner, and Capture visualizers, as well as ACN interfaces to PC applications like Winamp, Windows Media Player, Oberon3D, and others. These applications showcased ACNs potential as a tool to extend and integrate control far beyond the traditional domain of lighting and show control. The SandBox EMX2 interface was for the occasion on
display in an ACN version that provides an extension of the ACN control capabilities
into the world of RDM and DMX legacy equipment. This is an
important feature that will facilitate a painless transition to the new
technology while preserving the investment that the industry has in
existing equipment.
