PROJECTION

Live Design: "This year's crop of forward-thinking Projection Products of the Year prove that visualists are constantly looking for new ways to control their destiny, as they seek solutions that offer the most flexibility, from the convergence of lighting desks, media servers, and DMX control of video processors to the latest in LED display technology and pre-visualization software for media and lighting. It's an exciting time in the projection world, as the quest for the sharper image — and how to best manipulate it — takes us into uncharted waters where continual technological breakthroughs are setting new benchmarks. A panel of top-name programmers and designers has selected four products — including an innovative lighting desk — from the panoply of technology encountered over the past year, paying serious attention to those products that are paving the way for the future."
