HISTORY
SMI has its origins as a scroller manufacturing division of a leading international lighting rental company. Under the visionary leadership of the company's founder, it became a leading manufacturer of colour scrollers by pioneering the use of composite materials, injection moulding and state of the art electronics, which enabled the company to produce value priced products significantly expanding the customer base for colour scrollers.
Since its inception in l996, over 30,000 colour scrollers have been manufactured and shipped to all areas of the globe. Currently, the company produces 9 product lines of scrollers that are marketed under various private brand names, such as Chroma Q. In l998, the company moved to it's new stand alone manufacuring facility.
The next few years were characterized by the introduction of additional product lines, Gobo Rotators, Power Supplies, and a Custom Gel String manufacturing operation.
Used Power Distro
The power distro refers to a portable power distribution system, and is extremely important in the professional lighting industry, as electrical power distribution needs to be carefully managed to avoid power cuts or electrical failure. The power distro is a portable power distribution unit that has been especially designed for rugged outdoor use, which makes it the ideal power distribution center for use in large outdoor concerts.
There are a number of options with regards to what can be used as a power distro. Breaker panels are used to feed electrical power into subsidiary electrical circuits, while providing a circuit breaker or protective fuse housed in an enclosure for safety. Single/three phase power is another type of portable touring power distribution system.
Power distro systems use a number of specialist connectors and cables. Standard household hardware cannot support the electrical voltage used in professional lighting, and so specially adapted connectors are needed to handle things. These include the stage pin connector (also called a grounded pin), the socapex, which has 19 pins and is used to terminate a multi-cableā??s ends, twist locking connectors and the Edison plug.
