50 MEDIA FACADE
ENGLAND
TECHNICAL INSIGHT : ARTISTIC LICENCE
Artistic Licence’s award winning Colour-Tramp system was specified to control the LEDs because of its ability to map both buildings geographically on a control
screen. This then enabled the lighting designer to literally paint coloured light across the building and to render videos of the area to be lit.
Colour-Tramp was designed specifically to handle the complexity of two and three dimensional lighting arrays and combines the concept of lighting control with a
graphic editor. It also provides a full implementation of Remote Device Management (RDM) that allows Colour-Tramp to communicate with the lighting fixtures.
Colour-Tramp operates by outputting Art-Net, the public domain protocol developed by Artistic Licence which is now supported by over 100 manufacturers world-
wide. Pan Peninsula’s two towers are then linked via fibre optic cables which are used to distribute the Art-Net Ethernet signals between the two.
All the LED dimmers in the installation operate on DMX512 so, in its first outing, Artistic Licence’s newest product, Art-Lynx, was used in both buildings to convert the
Art-Net signals to DMX512, ensuring seamless and precise control between Colour-Tramp and the LEDs.
Mounted in a DIN Rail housing, Art-Lynx is designed to work with other Artistic Licence DIN Rail products and is the perfect solution to integrate DMX equipment into
large scale or permanent systems.
“In designing this product we wanted to keep installation engineers in mind, in addition to the functionality of the product itself,” explains Artistic Licence Technical
Director, Simon Hobday. “Since they generally understand Cat 5 cable better than DMX, it was a natural progression to fit an Art-Net Node into a box to create
a DIN Rail unit. It is now possible to integrate a whole host of our DMX DIN Rail products to, for example, control relays, LEDs, and the like - alongside standard
electrical DIN Rail installations.”
