W-DMX Blackbox S-2000 Debuts At PLASA 2008Wireless Solution Sweden AB is proud to announce the debut of the W-DMXTM BlackBox S-2000 during PLASA08, held September 7-10 at Earls Court in London. Wireless Solution will be exhibiting in Stand D51. In addition to new gear, there will be a drawing for free W-DMX products plus many more surprises.

The W-DMX BlackBox S-2000 is a 19" 1U Rack unit that is prepared for ACN Lite, ETC-NET and Strand ShowNET. This is the world's first double universe transmitter that supports both RDM and Art-Net. BlackBox S-2000 is stackable for up to 32 DMX Universes and supports the W-DMX Co-Existence technology with plug-and-play ease.

With full RDM compatibility, the W-DMX BlackBox S-2000 is the only unit that supports remote addressing for up to 512 fixtures in both Point-2-Point mode in daisy chain by cable and in Point-2-Multi-Point mode. This translates to major time savings in big rental productions. With the BlackBox S-2000, a new generation of Wireless lighting control products is born.

Before S-2000, the maximum number of universes one could operate wirelessly from one transmitter was 16. Over the last few years, the size of productions that have used W-DMX has grown to monstrous proportions. Suddenly, 16 universes weren't enough! And with the emergence of more and more new technologies and protocols, the S-2000 had to be compatible with everything, in order to integrate seamlessly into every application without worries of compatibility - the most notable being Wi-Fi, which is present in almost every corner of the world these days. W-DMX has always been designed and built to be interference free, and the S-2000 is the crown jewel of this achievement.

Wireless Solution will also be holding Wireless University during PLASA on Tuesday, September 9 from 3:00pm - 4:00pm in Seminar Theatre 1 in Earls Court Two. The seminar will be led by Niclas Norlén, R&D Manager for Wireless Solution and will cover topics such as pros and cons of wireless control, how it works, radio protocols (W-LAN, Bluetooth, etc.), choosing a radio system, system planning, and peripheral equipment.
