PID also highlight the latest D-Tek products. These are fast proving essential kit for visual and lighting designers wanting to control multiple video devices from a DMX lighting desk.

Examples of PID’s huge range of digital media clips will be playing back on all these systems, illustrating the creative possibilities of both high-res and low-res imagery that is ideal for Pixel MAD, Catalyst or any other digital media system.

The PID team will be on hand to discuss and advise on any of their products along with info on training, installation and content services.

Projected Image at PLASA

Projected Image’s sister company Projected Image, is well known as a leading international gobo manufacturer. The company will be highlighting the latest additions to its extensive gobo catalogue, plus some recent changes in the operational infrastructure.

New Imagesetter: Another Step Forward

Projected Image has just had a bigger and better Imagesetter installed.  This outputs film at the even higher resolution of 5,048 DPI (compared to 3,600 DPI previously). It enables the detail of colour artwork to become even finer, with a crisper projected image and the added flexibility of progressive gradients. 

New Website with Online Catalogue

Projected Image will be promoting its new website at the show. This was re-launched in July, incorporating a new online catalogue and packed with fresh innovative designs.  The graphics team are constantly adding designs to the organically growing collection, as well as encouraging clients to add their own suggestions.

For those unable to find what they need from the standard lists, Projected Image offers a custom design service to fit exact requirements. These are then added to the collection … and charged at the standard catalogue price.

The cost for catalogue gobos is still an incredible £6 per metal gobo and £30 per mono glass gobo, plus same-day turnaround at no extra cost.

New Addition to Projected Image Team

Graphic designer Ben Blake joins the Projected Image team as Products & Services Manager to streamline the company’s unparalleled level of products and services. Ben will be on hand at PLASA with the rest of the team, encouraging visitors to check out the new website and catalogue for inspirational ideas and projection solutions.
