Welcome to Issue Three of Leading Lights from A.C. Lighting.
We are still riding high after our trip to the PLASA show in London, England. Like the LDI show in North America, PLASA is a must see show for many European dealers, rental shops and production companies. The A.C. Entertainment Technologies booth was packed with show goers looking to see the preview of the Chroma-Q Color Force™, Color Charge™ and of course, the highly anticipated preview of Jands Vista 2 Byron.
Enjoy this edition of Leading Lights and get ready for WFX, LDI and a great Fall season. |

A.C. and Jands provided a preview of a major software upgrade for the revolutionary Jands Vista lighting console at PLASA.
Originally released in 2004, the Vista introduced a whole new approach to constructing light shows, with 'think visually, work visually' as the core concept. The Byron release takes this innovative approach to a new stage, introducing a true second generation of software, completely re-written from the ground up. |
 |
|
|
The Byron release reflects the attention Jands have paid to user feedback about the Vista, as well as the fresh vision Jands have brought to the whole concept of how a console works. The update provides easier and faster ways to do existing functions, and introduces a host of new features.
The Byron software will be free-of-charge to current users. Some of the key aspects of the new software include: |
 |
A second-generation timeline providing visual split fade times, a per-step timing structure that lets you instantly set fade and delay times for some or all the events in a step, and new filters that make it easier to see what’s going on with big rigs |
|
A brand new visual method of controlling media servers |
|
New Matrix layouts and effects for use with LEDs and other fixtures |
|
A completely overhauled user interface reflecting user feedback, with search functions built in throughout |
|
Genuine, zero-configuration, 'no I.T. guy needed', automatic networking |
|
Tracking backup that synchronizes a second console or PC to take over seamlessly in the case of a failure |
|
An extended generic fixture model that doesn't limit the use of non-standard or overlapping features and adapts to all types of new and unusual fixtures |
|
A Command Line window that accepts keypad input for fixture selection, levels, timing, store and other frequently used commands |
|
|
Faster and easier to use, the Byron release is a lot more than just an upgrade of the existing Vista. It provides an unrestricted, reliable software platform for building an ever more sophisticated and powerful console in the years to come.
A.C. Lighting will preview Vista 2 Byron on Booth #903 at the LDI show, November 20th-22nd in Orlando. |
