ARENA

150mm

Expandable with Tiger Touch Fader Wing

More live control than ever before…

The Avolites Arena is the ideal desk for festivals, theatres

and anywhere that a larger control surface is required. It

combines the popular interface of the Tiger Touch II with

more live control than ever before.

Alongside the vibrant main display, a second touch screen
provides an additional workspace window, also labelling
the adjacent macro buttons and rotary pots. These fully
assignable playback encoder pots, allow intuitive control of
channels and eects. The six LCD screens display electronic
legends for 30 faders, for speedy access to all your playbacks,
xtures and palettes.

The Arena has a TNS built in allowing the console to include a
brand new optical output, enabling bre connections directly
from the console, with no signal loss over long distances, from
front of house to the stage – essential for low latencies in
large and outdoor venues.

Oering seamless Multi User compatibility, the Arena can
be used as master, back-up or extra programming surface,
considerably cutting your programming time by allowing
multiple Titan programmers to work simultaneously, before
the main console takes charge.

Key Frame Shapes

Introducing the amazing Key Frame Shapes, providing the capability
to create spectacular eects from scratch. Using palettes or the
programmer to dene the frames, and powerful tools such as transition
curves, phase and spatial direction, it is possible to create radically
dierent looks for each channel in seconds. Synchronise these together
for dramatic impact. Integrate Pixel Mapper eects with Key Frames
using one simple interface.

Multi User Networking

Connect multiple consoles together to work
collaboratively or independently on the same
show. A show can have multiple users, each with
their own User Settings, Handle Worlds and
Selected Key Proles. With Multi User, consoles
can still be used as backups.
Backstage techs can exchange, reset or fault nd
on xtures, or even patch in oor packages,
without interrupting programming. Palettes made or edited on one
console automatically update to other connected consoles.

Ai FEATURES

Ai FEATURES

‘Supercharged’ New Software

Building on the already impressive, award winning versions of Ai we have
added even more new features to continue to deliver the ‘everything you
always wanted’ in a media server ethos.

Ai V8 won Live Design’s ‘Projection Product of the Year’ and the PLASA
‘Innovation Award’; Ai servers combine 36 years of engineering design

Output Conguration Page

The Output Conguration page
allows the user to congure all
parameters of their outputs using
a unique UI for each Fixture Group
tailored to the requirements of
the Fixture. All of your video
outputs and Artnet output can be
congured on this page. It includes
simple yet powerful tools for LED
screen conguration, a navigable
mapping editor for projection
mapping and an Artnet Pixel
mapping system. You can also apply
soft edge blends and use Ai’s Auto
Map feature from this page.

Surface Modelling Page

This page gives the non 3D application user the capability to create and
edit 3D stage sets. It combines the best bits of Max, Maya, Blender etc.
But with easy access to features
designed specically for our
market like linear and radial repeat
for object geometry.The user can
ip between the new Surface
Modelling Mode and Stage View
Mode to instantly see how the
screen you’re designing ts with
the rest of the stage.

Patch Editing Page

The journey to allow novice to intermediate users to congure their
show without using the node based environment is now complete.
Acknowledging that there is unrivalled power and exibility in the node
based capabilities of Ai, the node based interface has been rened to
allow users to feel more comfortable using it.

The Node based interface is now shown
within the Ai User Interface window
rather than in many sub windows. It is
displayed in a pseudo 3D style which
animates to zoom in when you enter a
sub patch.We have also added the capability to zoom into modules giving
you the option to work as small or large as you require.

and world-class show production experience in a unique “Production
based Workow”. Ai oers the tools for faster delivery of even the most
complex shows.

These are some more of the remarkable features that allow the award
winning Ai media servers to enable such breath-taking visual environments.

Automated Media Distribution

A function found within the System Settings window which allows up to
16 folders to be shared across the network.This automates the process of
content distribution between multiple networked systems allowing media
les or project assets to be auto synced between Ai servers.

Performance Improvements

The Ai developers have made a massive improvement in the performance
of Ai V8, optimising the render engine again to oer around a 50%
improvement in video throughput using our AiM Superstream codec.
Performance whilst live compositing high resolution background layers
with low resolution foreground layers has also been much improved.

Native HD SDI Input and Output

Support for up to 8 x 1080p HD SDI
inputs or up to 8 x 1080p outputs or
2 x 4k outputs as an option on the Ai S
series systems. The same cards can be used
as input or output (in groups of 4).The
outputs are frame synchronised so four
1080p outputs can be used as a single 4k
feed on four HD/SDI cables.

Camera Based Automated Warp and Blend

Ai oers a revolutionary camera based warp and blend feature. This
allows the user to congure a large projection screen surface across
all available video outputs
on the system using our
recommended webcam or
ethernet camera and custom
software to automatically
calculate the required
warping and blending of the
outputs.

Multiple servers are also supported in the automated warp and blend
process using an IP camera.This allows blends across huge surfaces.
Curved surfaces, domes and at screen arrays are all supported.This
feature comes as standard with all Ai products and Software Licences.*

Editable Scene Triggers

Ai V7 introduced Scene Triggers which allowed you to store a pre-set
state of all layers and attributes that could be recalled at the touch of a
button. Ai V8 makes the scene triggers editable so that you can congure
or remove triggering elements.This allows the user to decide exactly
which aspects of the system the scene trigger will control.

Performance Units

V8 introduced the notion of ‘Performance Units’, allowing you to gauge
how hard you’re pushing the system. The user interface will show the
user a power bar style meter which will indicate the load that the system
is under. As you add more layers and more outputs the power bar will
decrease according to the capabilities of the system.

The Performance Units indication system will tie in with the marketing
of the systems so that when you buy an Ai server you will know how
many performance units the system is capable of. We will also publish a
corresponding guide to what a performance unit is.

In summary, for those who are technically minded, one Performance
Unit is equal to one Million pixels of data being transferred over the PCI
express bus twenty ve times per second. Our Third Generation systems
such as the S4, S8, S6 and the EX4 & EX8 will support an absolute
maximum of thirty two performance units when running Ai. That is
almost 1 Billion pixels per second.

Audio Engine

Ai’s audio engine now allows
the playback of samples at any
frequency as well as the ability to
adjust the playback speed in real
time. An audio fader has been
added to the layer controls along
with the mute button, both of
which can be controlled locally
or remotely.

Dynamic Content Page

This page gives quicker and easier access to using patches during your
show as well as providing a streamlined approach to the their creation
when using the supplied templates. Any combination of modules, GLSL
and Java can be used to create real-time audio reactive content, live text
and generative imagery.

User Customizable Eects

Ai’s Eects system (SVFX) allows users to use the node based
programming system to create their own eects and add them into the
system.These eects can utilise the Salvation set of tools and input/output
modules along with GLSL, Java script, MIDI, the list goes on and on. In
fact, pretty much any of the other features of Ai can be plugged into your
own customizable eects.This eects system has proven to be so ecient
that we have converted all of our existing eects library to this standard.
With every new version of Ai, the library of eects keeps growing.

User Customizable Blend Mode system

Using the same system (SVFX) support has been added for user
customizable blend modes.We have re-written the current set of blend
modes to use this approach and we make a template available for any
user who wishes to use this system to create their own blend modes.

Layer Reference Module

Pull in media from anywhere in your mix - this module allows the user to
reference a texture from a specic xture and layer. This oers signicant
performance improvements when a user needs to play the same media
out onto multiple screen surfaces or onto multiple layers.

AiM Multi-threaded Encoder

The AiM Quicktime encoder now supports multi-core compression. This
means that the AiM conversion process can now be done in faster than
real time for HD footage and close to real time for 4k media on high
spec systems.

Syncgroups

Syncgroups oers a solution when you need to ensure that multiple
clips are being played in synchronicity without the inexibility and
preprogramming traditionally associated with timecode. Set one clip
as Source and others as Listening and all clips will progress a frame
when when the Source does. With
support for multiple Syncgroups,
this function can work within a
single machine or across a group
of networked servers, giving you
greater exibility in show performance.

Capture Support

Ai now supports MSEX streaming directly into
Capture. Choose from individual layers, screen
xture mixes or even your entire 3d visualization and
apply them to xtures within Capture to get a true
view of your lighting and video working together.

AiM Codec

Ai’s own AiM is a revolutionary codec which makes use of hardware
acceleration from the graphics card to ensure smooth playback of high
resolution media whilst maintaining exceptional image quality.

Interface Updates

New features and a constantly developing software require updated ways
to control them. Including an intuitive page widget, a more intelligent
layer controller which re sizes automatically, live update of controls from
ArtNet sources and extra parameters added to the ArtNet personality.

My rst ever experience on an Avo console was in 1987 on a Rolacue 30, the build quality and ease of programming hooked me right away.

Avolites provided control for our major arena tours; Justin Timberlake Sexy Back World Tour, Alicia Keys, Kylie Minogue X Tour and the
Coldplay X&Y Tour, just an amazing console which revolutionised programming for me.

An unbroken partnership with the nest team I have ever had the privilege to work with, and never, ever once have they ever let me down,
not a single show ever failed to go up on time.

ART2020

The ART2020 was designed with contributions from industry leading
users and companies combined with 16 years of ART2000 and 40
years of Avolites dimmer knowledge to create a exible and capable
distribution and dimming system.

There is no need to have separate mains distribution or DMX splitters
making set up times faster and lowering the number of individual
components needed to put a show together.

The available modules are 12 x 16A RCBO dimmer, 12 x 16A RCBO
distribution circuits or 12 x 16A RCBO contactor module to provide
switchable mains to xtures. The modules are freely interchangeable
by the user.

The main input and the loop-out connectors are protected with an
electronically adjustable MCB and RCB combination, allowing the
breaker parameters to be controlled easily and comfortably from the
dimmer user interface.

The breaker controls enable the user to coordinate MBC and RCB
breakers in the larger system to assure isolation of faults, and prevent
large scale outages during live events.

The overcurrent range can be selected on both breaker combinations
as 125, 160, 250 and 320A, and the RCB dierential current from
30mA, 100mA, 300mA, 1A, 3A, 5A and 10A as well as the RCB delay
ranging from 20mS to 10 seconds in 10 steps.

The main and loop-out breaker electronic settings are a vital tool
to assure compliance with new regulations for temporary electrical
systems that are being enforced more and more.

The ART2020 is tted with a comprehensive set of safety and reliability
features which includes the ability to test the connected mains before
the system energizes, over-voltage or a missing neutral connection will

not allow the system to energize. The control system is supplied from
all three phases at the same time.

Clear indication lights are provided for the mains input both on the
front and near the mains input and loop-out connectors to show mains
connection status and if the loop-out is energized.

The three phases and the neutral current are measured and displayed,
as well as the individual main and loop-out phase and neutral currents.
The system can also display Var and Powerfactor which are important
variables when working with generators.

The dierential (earth leakage) current for the main and loop-out
connectors as well as the total dierential current is displayed along
with the headroom actually setting headroom.

The dimmer is tted with a Wieland ST17 (2-pin) or ST18 (3-pin) patch
system comprising of 120 circuit outlets and up to 20 multi circuit
outlets like the 19-pin and 6 or 8 circuit Harting.

The patch is located on the top of the rack to ensure it is easily
accessible. The layout is intuitive and exible with four outlets for the
rst 12 circuits and two outlets for the remaining 36 circuits. Six single
outlets for the xed mains are provided. The patch has a switchable
patch light to allow working in the dark.

The separately supplied ST17 patch leads are tted with a custom
Avolites clip to retain the patch leads in the patch during transport.
The high retention force of the ST18 patch does not require a clip.

The familiar load test facility is provided, which is battery operated, as
well as the new load tester that can test a whole multi-core at once for
connected load and earth faults. The tester is battery operated to allow
testing before the mains connection has been provided, and is six and
eight channel multi-pin outlet standards compatible.

The Dimmer modules have 'load check' indicators for each dimmable
channel to give a positive indication that a load is present and the local
test fader on each dimmer channel to ensure that you can easily check
the connected load without having to use a console.

The multi-functional DMX distribution can act as a dual DMX splitter
with four outlets for each of the two DMX-512 5-pin XLR inputs. The
same splitter outlets can be driven from Art-net or sACN generating
two independent universes.

The ART2020 system can be provided with data either though a single
DMX-512 5 pin XLR connector or additionally with ethernet either
using Art-net or sACN protocols. The two data inputs can be HTP
merged splitter. The user can select to use one DMX-512 5-pin XLR
input as an input to the dimmer, allowing for two DMX 5-pin inputs
to be merged.

The Dimmer supports a full range of control features such as soft patch
for each channel, simple start address for a universe, curve, pre-heat
and proportional limit setting per channel.

A host of information and diagnostics tools are provided, like isolated
level data for each data input, and LED indication that Art-net or sACN
universe data is present for the two splitter universes. This all assists the
user in the complex world of mains and data distribution.

The ART2020 is supplied in a custom ight-case with wheels on the
back panel, and three lids with ergonomically placed handles. The
rack has RGB LED strips incorporated to aid working safely in dark
environments. The LEDs can be set to any of the nine colours and when
the system requires user attention the LEDs can change in colour to
clearly indicate which rack. The module RCBO breakers are discretely
lit to allow the breaker state to be seen in the dark.

ART2000 SERIES

ART2000 T4 48 X 16A ELDC

Film and TV Dimmers

The ART2000 range has been developed to meet the growing and
changing demands of the television, lm and industrial show and
exhibition lighting, where the use of dimmable xtures is becoming
an increasingly popular, cost effective method of lighting these
specic environments.

Within the ART2000 T4 range there are two channel
capacities, 24 x 32 amp, 12 x 63 amp and 14 x 16 amp.
The channel breakers are type C allowing for high inrush current
associated with the larger capacity luminaires. Both channels sizes
are continuously rated at 40°C ambient, and use custom made noise
suppression chokes with a rise time of 240 μs.

The ART2000 system can also be tted with Earth Leakage Breakers
that can be individually disabled per bay by the user, a “No Volt Return”
circuit assures that the RCB function is maintained after each power
cycle or re-hire, therefore adhering to the future recommendation of
the BS7909 standard for temporary mains distribution systems.

The ‘Load Check’ indicators for each dimmable channel give a positive
indication that a load is present and the local test fader on each dimmer
channel ensure that you can easily check the connected load without
having the use of a console.

The design incorporates full monitoring and status feedback via the
backlit LCD display. Static state environments are catered for using the
front panel control faders. Further 12 memories can be recorded for
