iColor Tile FX creates a unlimited creative canvas in the form of a sophisticated, tile-like system that may be used independently or as part of a large-scale, multi-tiled installation. Each 2' by 2' panel conceals 144 individually addressable, tri-color nodes (432 LEDs), that are powered by Chromasic?, enabling highly intricate control to create images with light - from morphing color Waves, to animated objects, logos, emblems and patterns. iColor Tile FX is designed for recess and surface mounting, and is ideal for retrofitting ceiling tiles and surfaces. Indoor and outdoor lenses are available from Color Kinetics, or the unit is equipped to accept custom lens options.
Color Kinetics
Color Kinetics Incorporated (Nasdaq: CLRK) is a pioneer in the design, marketing and licensing of intelligent solid-state lighting systems. The company's award-winning product lines combine the increasing advantages of LEDs as a light source with its patented digital control technology for use in wide-ranging applications. Its flagship technologies leverage a patented layer of digital intelligence, called Chromacore®, to generate and control millions of colors and dynamic lighting effects.
Color Kinetics operates in two principal lines of business: Lighting Systems, including solid-state lighting devices, digital controllers and software for use in high-performance lighting projects; and OEM & Licensing, including a standard line of intelligent solid-state lighting modules that can be readily incorporated by other manufacturers. Color Kinetics also licenses its technology both within and beyond the lighting industry.
Color Kinetics' intelligent solid-state lighting systems illuminate the exteriors of signature office buildings, add visual impact to the interiors of retail stores and residences, provide entertaining lighting effects that help attract patrons to hospitality venues, and supply versatile, high-performance lighting for television and stage sets. The company's systems have been installed in thousands of user sites around the world, including Brookstone,Carnival Cruise Lines, Cathay Financial Center, Hairspray on Broadway, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Harrah's, Marriott, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York State Bridge Authority, NBA Entertainment, Nortel Networks, Northwest Airlines, Rainforest Café, Royal Caribbean International, Wheel of Fortune and Wynn Las Vegas. With the introduction of its IntelliWhite� products, Color Kinetics is now addressing specialty white light applications while working toward developing systems that meet the growing opportunity to replace conventional lighting with solid-state lighting for general illumination.
Color Kinetics' investment in research and development is reflected by its intellectual property portfolio, which comprises 42 issued patents and more than 140 patent applications pending. Color Kinetics' intellectual property applies to many aspects of solid-state lighting technology, ranging from methods for digital control of lighting, to production techniques, to the application of solid-state lighting innovations in many specific markets.
Used LED Video Screens
LED Screens are used in concerts to produce a video wall or concert video screen, so that the musicians and performers can be shown close up, and also for displaying background visuals during a performance. This type of visual display system is essentially a large number of LED screens which are tiled together or overlapped in a way so that they produce a much larger screen. Also called a video tile, LED screens will have extremely narrow bezels (the part which surrounds the LED screens), so that the display is not impacted too badly by having large gaps appear between each tile.
Many concert planners prefer using LED screens to one large screen as they offer a number of advantages, including a customized layout, greater pixel density and a greater screen area for the cost, as manufacturing unusually large screens can be prohibitively expensive.
LED screens use something called light-emitting diodes to illuminate the video screen. Two different types of panel are used in LED screens â?? discrete LEDs and surface mounted panels. Most types of outdoor LED video screen and indoor LED video screen use discrete LEDs, which are made up of a cluster of blue, green and red diodes. This cluster of diodes forms just one pixel in the LED screen, and so many hundreds of diodes are used, with the pixels being spaced out evenly across the entire screen. This combination of color clusters enables every color in the light spectrum to be replicated on LED screens.
