KSCAPE to Launch RAIL S
KSCAPE will celebrate five years of pioneering merging technologies with the launch of RAIL S, a family of alternative solutions designed to complement and enhance the RAIL family of solutions. RAIL S Track will be unveiled to the market, which aims to seamlessly blend lighting and integrated professional sound within a traditional track system. You can see it at booth 7F300.
With a 1.2-meter design, this linear architectural lighting system combines projectors, changeable optics and other striking lighting options with professional audio powered by K-array. Encompassed within one device, RAIL S products enable the integration of professional audio and lighting technology without the risk of compromising aesthetics or interfering with an architect's designs.
Recent installations of RAIL in corporate workplaces include the new offices of U.S.-based distributor, Pavion, Armstrong Ceilings HQ in Pennsylvania, the Cleveland Museum, and the corporate offices of JLL Singapore. RAIL S is more compact, which helps to simplify installation and make its specification appropriate in a wider range of spaces. On the other hand, optional ‘plug-in’ accessories enable highly customizable lighting, including a variety of projectors and spotlights. Finally, the ability to power RAIL S products with a 48V industry-standard power supply is useful in several established markets.
1 SOUND to Unveil Auralis Prediction and 3D Design Software
1 SOUND will be announcing Auralis and the application's future release date at ISE. The company will be presenting demonstrations of the software’s beta version at booth 7J420 in the center aisle of Audio Hall 7.
Auralis, the 3D audio design and prediction software, is a 3D software application that is a multi-purpose sound design tool that enables precise, high-resolution, full-color audio predictions of your loudspeaker design in a three-dimensional space. Users can import 27 different types of files, including SketchUp (SKP) and AutoCAD (DXF) files, or easily create your own three-dimensional space. This software is intuitive with a modern user experience, you can easily navigate around your design with fingertip free-rotation and organize your design easily with named groups.
Auralis is streamlined and straightforward with clear direction to easily build or import your space and adjust the system’s mechanical information with all 1 SOUND rigging accessories. Auralis allows users to quickly put together a line array using 1 SOUND’s Tower Series, for example, and automatically splay for uniform coverage, giving a quick and accurate place to start system optimization.
Jetbuilt to Unveil Project Platform for Everyone
Jetbuilt (booth 4K260) will introduce the Project Platform for Everyone, a strategy to unite project stakeholders and fuel collaboration between manufacturers, consultants, dealers, vendors and end users. Jetbuilt’s platform delivers multifaceted capabilities to sell, manage, and support projects quickly and efficiently. At ISE 2024, Jetbuilt will showcase new features and enhancements within its user-friendly, purpose-built platform. This strategic shift towards fostering unity among audiovisual professionals will take center stage at ISE 2024, where Jetbuilt plans to showcase its evolved focus through a new initiative, Project Platform for Everyone.
In addition to empowering integrators to build, sell, and manage projects with unparalleled speed and efficiency, Jetbuilt’s platform facilitates real-time communication among diverse roles. Portal enables integrators to share pertinent information, such as project status, drawings and designs, equipment manuals and other project details, with their clients. The detailed information sharing occurs within the platform to provide an organized, singular database to encase information and communication.
Jetbuilt’s platform eliminates redundancies to streamline communication processes by providing a standardised tool, effectively dismantling the silos that traditionally separate professionals across the industry.
