IPS Dimmer Strip: Compact IGBT component technology<br />
and no requirement for heavy, cumbersome chokes allow<br />
for a compact dimmer strip package that can be ceiling or<br />
pipe-mounted in a variety of ways. The DS-1206 (shown at<br />
right), containing six 10-amp circuits, and the DS-2403, with<br />
three 20-amp circuits offer you a cost-effective alternative<br />
to standard forward phase control dimming. Relying upon a<br />
single 120/208V 3-phase power feed using only five wires,<br />
the requirements for load wiring are greatly reduced, making<br />
this an ideal consideration for both new installations and<br />
system renovations. Reduced wiring requirements means<br />
lower up-front installation costs in wiring, conduit, and terminations.<br />
In addition, all IPS dimmers feature dimmer status<br />
reporting through IPS Talkback, allowing the user to monitor<br />
dimmer load, temperature, and other status information at a<br />
glance. Full talkback features are supported by the PC-based<br />
Horizon Control System, or other control consoles in conjunction<br />
with IPS Talkback status-monitoring accessories.<br />
IPS <strong>Dimmers</strong> from Rosco/Entertainment Technologies<br />
represent the latest in electronic dimming and package design,<br />
using new IGBT component technology to accomplish highly<br />
intelligent, reverse phase-controlled dimming schemes without<br />
the need for heavy chokes. Rosco/ET offers a complete line of<br />
IPS dimmer strips, boxes, and single dimmer packs, as well as<br />
a full range of architectural controls, complemented by the PCbased<br />
Horizon <strong>Lighting</strong> Control System. Call STL for more information<br />
and product literature regarding the Rosco/ET IPS<br />
dimmer technology!<br />

IPS Dimmer Box: Also available in either 3 x 20-amp<br />
or 6 x 10-amp dimmer configurations, the IPS-DB is a<br />
slightly different, more compact IPS dimmer package,<br />
easily tucked away among scenery elements, or on a<br />
lighting grid.<br />
What is IPS? IPS is distributed dimming based on IGBT (Insulated Gate BiPolar Transistor) technology. The acronym<br />
IPS means Intelligent Power System®. "Intelligent" because a microprocessor is at the heart of each IPS dimmer. This<br />
microprocessor "intelligence" enables an IPS dimming system to:<br />
1. Sense and automatically respond to changes in incoming power, load size, load type, load condition and temperature.<br />
2. Sense and diagnose problems, then report findings to the system operator.<br />
3. Run quieter and more efficiently than any competing dimmer technology.<br />
Most competing dimming equipment is based on SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) technology. The major flaw of SCR dimming is noise,<br />
which manifests itself as buzzing of lamp filaments, RFI/EMI (interference with sound and video gear), mechanical noise (dimmer<br />
buzzing & fan noise), or harmonic noise (buzzing of conduit and panels).<br />
SCR dimmers must be filtered by external chokes to control the noise they generate. To an extent, SCR dimmers must also be isolated...<br />
far away from people, microphones and video gear.<br />
Silent IGBT dimmer technology, on which IPS is based, provides a new and better solution.<br />

Interface Equipment translates control signals between devices using different control protocols. With the wide<br />
variety of legacy and proprietary control signal equipment still in service today, there are many interface options to choose from. In<br />
addition, with control systems becoming larger and more complex, the use of data distribution amplifiers, Ethernet hubs and routers, and<br />
optical isolation devices are critical to robust and reliable control systems design and functionality. STL offers a wide range of interface<br />
products from ETC, NSI, Dove Systems, Doug Fleenor Design, and Pathway Connectivity (formerly Gray Interfaces). Whether you<br />
require standard, off-the-shelf items, or a custom-configured device, STL can help you solve your control communication and distribution<br />
challenges.<br />
Pathway Connectivity (formerly Gray Interfaces) manufactures high-quality,<br />
reliable, technologically advanced DMX distribution, amplification, isolation, and routing<br />
equipment. The DMXRepeater (above) receives a DMX signal input, amplifies<br />
and repeats it to 6 outputs. The DMXDart (at right) is a compact console-in-yourhand,<br />
offering DMX cue snapshot storage in addition to DMX analyzing and diagnostic<br />
features that make it a must for every field-service technician’s tool box! For those<br />
really obscure situations, the DMX Ultimate Converter (below) is the last converter<br />
you’ll ever need to convert nearly any control signal to anything else. It doesn’t<br />
do analog but, as Dave says: “We had to draw the line somewhere!”, and they’ve<br />
covered everything else in the process!<br />

Pathport is a new way for venues to distribute and route multiple<br />
universes of DMX using Ethernet. The Pathport captures the<br />
benefits of Ethernet for DMX devices by introducing new breakthrough<br />
functionality, such as device talkback, remote configuration<br />
and firmware updating. By simply plugging in the DMX transmitting<br />
and receiving devices, Pathport does the rest by providing a<br />
vital bridge between the DMX and Ethernet worlds. ETSA ACNready,<br />
Pathport gives facility and systems designers an affordable<br />
way to lay the foundation for the Ethernet future!<br />
