Pharos Architectural Controls LDI booth 3500.
Pharos Architectural Controls is delighted to be showcasing a series of key updates to its lighting control product ranges, Pharos Expert and Pharos Designer.
The latest release of Expert now features Groups; a new way to organize fixtures within a space. Expert 2.0 now offers users the ability to control smaller groups within each space with run-time overrides from the Expert Touch mobile app or touchscreen wall stations.
Expert’s programming tools have also been enriched with the ability for users to include static scenes within timeline scenes. In response to customer requests, many dynamic scenes have had their properties extended. For example, a greater variety of speeds and longer loop times providing more subtle playback. Visitors to the Pharos stand will be able to see all of these new features in action with a hands-on demonstration.
The Pharos RIO D4 is now supported in Expert. The team will be demonstrating this DALI four-port device which connects to an Expert system using a single PoE connection. It’s possible to connect up to four RIO D4s to Expert Control, providing up to 16 additional DALI interfaces to a system.
Following the launch of DMX Record, recent Designer improvements include DMX Record remapping; an addition which enables recorded universes to be routed to an alternative universe output, including local DMX ports on the controller.
Another significant enhancement has been made to eDMX pass-through. Users can now take eDMX (Art-Net or sACN) from any console and passively route it through the Pharos Designer LPC to another eDMX universe, the controller's local ports or ports on Pharos DMX gateways (EDN and RIO G4). This is an ideal solution for venues where a permanent installation controlled by a Designer LPC needs to be temporarily controlled by a hired-in console - perhaps from a touring production - before control is handed back to the Pharos system when the event is over.
