New digital lighting package from Barco for powerful lighting

Barco has released a digital lighting package that employs the DLP-quality video capabilities of the DML-1200 digital light with Axon Media Server. Barco says that this new device allows the companies, corporate events managers and fixed installations to create dynamic, multi-faceted shows in a variety of rental and fixed applications.

The DML-1200 offers a brightness of 12,000 field lumens. This device was designed as a dual moving digital luminaire and high-quality video projector, offering unlimited image selection with the ability to switch between video projection and light mode, cue by cue.

Axon provides lighting designers with a full complement of digital lighting features, including collage and curved surface support, warping and edge blending, and access to thousands of images.

The DML-1200 w/Axon enhances the capabilities of its Version 2.0 software, offering up to nine media layers, keystone and digital shutter features, Collage Generator and curved surface support, unlimited effects, and over 1,200 pieces of royalty-free stock content.

"We are very pleased to introduce this comprehensive enhancement to the DML-1200 digital luminaire," said Chris Colpaert, VP of Creative Lighting for Barco. "By combining the superior functionality and processing power of the Axon Media Server with the vast output and unique illumination capabilities of the DML-1200, we feel the DML-1200 w/Axon is an extremely powerful fixture. Additionally, all DML-1200 w/ Axon fixtures are now built in Austin, TX alongside our other popular lighting products. Together, these advances demonstrate our commitment to the technology, and our keen desire to address our customers' requests."
