Avolites is heading to Amsterdam’s Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2015 tradeshow this February to exhibit its range of control consoles and servers as well as unveil the incredible new features of its new Ai V8 software.

Running on Avolites’ industry-leading range of Ai media servers, the new V8 software includes the revolutionary new Autoblend feature, distinctly setting Ai apart from the competition by allowing blending of large projection surfaces using multiple projectors. In addition, there is a brand new Surface Modelling page for the creation of editable 3D sets, and performance is hugely improved, with render engine optimisation offering 50% increased video throughput. Compositing high-resolution background layers with low-resolution foreground layers is also much improved.

“We are incredibly excited by the increased functionality of Ai version 8,” says Steve Warren, Avolites MD. “Word-of-mouth has been spreading like wildfire through our visual community of the revolutionary camera blend, easy LED mapping and 3D modelling, and visualisation capabilities of V8. The new and simplified Ai user interface has brought a stampede of new users to Ai and we’re excited to exhibit it at ISE.”

Alongside Avolites’ Ai range, the company will also be exhibiting the compact-yet-powerful Quartz lighting console, running Titan V8, which makes its continental European debut. Measuring only 42,5 cm wide at a weight of just 8 kg, the compact console comes complete with on-board processing and a bright, vibrant 12,1-inch screen, and is aimed at the touring market.
