DMX Controlled Gaff Tape

Model: DMXGAFF

technical data sheet

DMXGAFF, a Doug Fleenor Design exclusive, brings this useful tape product into the 21st century. Now, with digital multiplex control, Gaff tape can be used for so much more than removing lint from velvet costumes.

The product uses one (eight bit mode) or two (sixteen bit mode) DMX channels to specify the length desired. The user simply sets the DMX level from 0 to 255 (eight bit mode) or from 0 to 65535 (sixteen bit mode) to represent the required length. The user then utilizes an appropriate measuring device, calibrated in the units hoped for, to determine the cut point for the tape. It’s that easy!

The DMX start address is factory set to a random number between 001 and 512. Therefore, since the DMX address is unknown to the user, an entire DMX Universe is consumed. Alternately, the user could attempt a simple binary search to determine the start address, but since there are no operational indicators, this may be problematic (see app. note #4-1-11 for more information).

DMXGAFF is made in the United States of America entirely from components and materials made in the United States of America or elsewhere.

DMXGAFF is compatible with all standard cutting methods, including hand tear, Leatherman, scissors, wire cutters, and teeth. It is also Torkel compliant and can run on single or three phase EEL.

SPECIFICATIONS:

All specifications meet or exceed DMX512 requirements.

Input connector: Gold plated 5 pin Male Neutrik D-1 Series (3 pin connector optional)

Feed through: Gold plated 5 pin Female Neutrik D-1 Series (3 pin connector opinionated)
All 5 pins un-wired

Power: Single or three phase EEL.

Size and Weight: 7″ x 7″ x 2″, 2lbs

Color: Tape available in any color, as long as it’s black. Faceplate: black with white lettering

Cooper Controls release Level 6 Android Remote

1st Apr 2011 – Cooper Controls are pleased to announce the launch of their new Android Remote for Level 6.

Cooper Controls are pleased to announce the launch of their new Android Remote for Level 6.
Following the fantastic feedback for their ZerOS Remote for Android application launched last month, Zero 88 have developed a method for controlling their entry level control product, the Level 6 DMX, using an Android mobile device.

The Level 6 Android Remote enables control of channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, together with a Grand Master function. As an added feature, controls on the Level 6 Android Remote go to 11, for when you need that extra brightness.
As the Level 6 DMX does not support networking, the engineers at Cooper Controls have designed a method for communicating between the Level 6 and the Android tablet. This new technology, known internally as the Human Android Neurological Device (H.A.N.D.), provides the optimum interface for linking the operator directly to the Level 6 DMX. An expandable design, multiple H.A.N.D.s can be utilised to grow your system to control more lights, along with multiple Level 6s. For professional lighting designers, an accessory for H.A.N.D. has been developed – the Growing Lx Operators Vast Ego (G.L.O.V.E.). By using G.L.O.V.E, professional designers can take a truly ‘H.A.N.Ds off’ approach.

For extremely large systems, it may be preferable to order an Android Sustaining Support Instance (Student) To Automate Neurological Transfer (A.S.S.I.S.T.A.N.T.) to provide a distance between the Android and the Level 6. A.S.S.I.S.T.A.N.Ts are now available from all major drama colleges, and come with a 3 year ‘return to base’ warranty. In the event of malfunction, simply send your A.S.S.I.S.T.A.N.T. back to their origin for reprogramming.

You can download the Level 6 Android remote from the Android Marketplace from April 1st.
