Barco recently released an optimized digital lighting package that combines the high brightness and DLP-quality capabilities of its DML-1200 digital light with Axon Media Server, a product of Barco’s High End Systems group that can feed video to digital lights, LED panels, or large-format projectors. Company officials said the new solution offers tour companies, corporate events managers, and fixed-installation users, such as houses of worship, more opportunities to create dynamic, multifaceted shows in a variety of rental and fixed applications.
The DML-1200, which emits 12,000 field lumens, was originally designed as both a moving digital luminaire and a high-quality video projector, combining unlimited image selection with the ability to seamlessly switch between video projection and light mode on a cue-by-cue basis. The Axon Media Server provides AV and 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 pre-installed images.
The new DML-1200 package includes version 2.0 of the Axon system software, which supports up to nine media layers, as well as keystone and digital shutter features. It comes with an enhanced Collage Generator and curved-surface support, unlimited effects, and over 1,200 pieces of royalty-free stock content, company officials said. The DML-1200 itself features fast 4:1 zoom, warping, and edge-blending for external inputs with virtually no frame delay, and a light mode with CMY color-mixing abilities.
“We are very pleased to introduce this comprehensive enhancement to the DML-1200 digital luminaire,” said Chris Colpaert, vice president of creative lighting for Barco, in a statement. “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 with Axon is an extremely powerful fixture.”
Colpaert said all DML-1200 with Axon fixtures are built in Austin, Texas, alongside the company’s other lighting products.
