ExhibitorNews From glass to glass
The XEED 4K6021Z 6,000 lumen 4K compact laser projector was first previewed at ISE 2019
CANON EUROPE Stand: 1-F50 Optical excellence is set to be a key theme on the Canon stand at ISE 2020, where the company will showcase its range of input and output capabilities – all benefiting, it says, from the same focus on precisionbuilt glass. Among the input devices on show will be the C500 Mark II and XF705. The EOS C500 Mark II is a compact 5.9K full frame cinema camera, featuring Canon’s new DIGIC DV 7 processor. Supporting 5.9K internal Cinema
Pleased to be seated FORTRESS SEATING Stand: 1-N80 Now in its 40th year of manufacture, such has been its popularity, is the Madison chair from Fortress Seating. Set to be on show at ISE 2020 upholstered in Luxtan Premium Leather, it can be extensively customised with an array of accessories – including many that can be concealed until they are needed. Also on display on the Fortress stand at ISE will be the Lexington chair. Constructed with a two-cushion framed back, the Lexington is said to have a slender profile and to provide ‘just the right amount’ of lumbar support. Like the Madison, it can be customised. According to the company, popular choices include motorised head and footrests, height-adjusting seat backs, pocket arms, cup holders, USB ports and power outlets, and touchscreen mounts to enable convenient control of a smart home automation system. Other options include lighted and cooling cup holders, tray tables, as well as custom fabrics, finishes, specialised hides and colour matching to maintain room design aesthetics. The Madison chair has been in production for 40 years
‘Best of both worlds’ with new cable series
Klotz’s CLAES3PTRUSS unites two popular cable products, CATLink and TrussLink
KLOTZ AIS Stand: 7-E210 The new CLAES3PTRUSS from Klotz combines the ‘best of both worlds’ – namely, its CATLink and TrussLink products – according to the company. A network cable sports four pairs of twisted wires, each with characteristic wave impedance of 100 ohm. As a result, the Klotz CATLink Series can handle four audio signals (analogue or digital) or four DMX signals. The internal wiring is naturally ‘digital ready’, ensuring interference-free performance of the CLAES3PTRUSS as a DMX or AES/EBU box. Meanwhile, the TrussLink’s paired parallel configurations of XLR connectors (XLR 3p. F/M) can be deployed as both inputs and outputs, maximising their flexibility and ease of deployment for professional stage work. According to Klotz, the CLAES3PTRUSS is suitable
for a range of roles, ranging from a small sub-stage box to a full-scale multicore system. Specific features include a rugged aluminium housing with non-slip rubber feet and laser-engraved labelling, as well as four safety lanyard holes and an M10 thread for use with a Manfrotto Super Clamp – making it easy to affix to rigs and trusses. Klotz recommends using a network conductor with overall shield, such as its RC5EE cable, as a connection cable to ensure that the four separate channels share a common earth.
Clearing up complexity GUNTERMANN & DRUNCK Stand: 10-R130, 14-M235 With the integration of a growing number of technologies, control rooms are becoming increasingly complex and multifunctional. Due to this, operators have to be able to monitor several processes simultaneously and, at the same time, manage signals and workflows. Therefore, ergonomic workstations and intuitive operating concepts are essential. Guntermann & Drunck will present its latest keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) products to show how they seamlessly interact with AV equipment. The company aims to ensure homogeneous installations
