SHOW REPORT P R O J E C T I O N L I G H T S & S TA G I N G N E W S

After years at Earl’s Court, PLASA moved its

annual exhibition to open, airy and modern

ExCeL London for 2013. More than 11,000

attended, including 2,200 international visitors from

at least 84 countries, and the educational program

included highlights from Eurovision 2013, the

Glastonbury festival, West End theatrical productions

and the 2013 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

The new product offerings from the event’s 275

exhibitors was, of course, a key focal point. Buzz-

worthy innovations ranged from Le Mark/Dirty

Rigger’s Glowman series gloves with mini-LEDs built

in to a fully animatronic camel from IBS group.

Others drawing attention included ChamSys

(MagicQ Media Server), LDR (Alba LED profile), MA

Lighting (MA VPU basic and light), Miltec (Mini-Map

LED screen), Robert Juliat (motorized Fresnel yokes)

and Roland (VR-50HD AV mixer).

Artistic Licence turned more than a few heads

with their nanoScope, Art-Osc and eSense. Cooper

Controls, now part of the Eaton Corporation, featured

the SCD Server and SCD Server Pro along with new

Zero 88 dimmers (Chilli 2410i 1212 and 2416i 1212)

for venues using both dimming and switched

power. And Wireless DMX, touting a free update for

all existing G4 products to G4S, also contributed to

the event’s traditionally festive ambience with their

annual Swedish Vodka Party.
