InfoChip. Because InfoGate can work with any equipment, the setup, unit testing,
and troubleshooting for an entire rig can be coordinated from a single laptop.
Wybron's IT equipment (Coloram IT, CXI IT, Eclipse IT, and Eclipse II IT) is
equipped with a series of sensors that can relay a wealth of information to
InfoGate. These sensors can detect everything from light, voltage, current, to fan
speed and even gelstring frame color information.
So while RDM equipment will allow identification and remote addressing, IT
equipment can give more specific status information and warn of potential
problems, possibly averting failures in the middle of a show. If the status of a
device indicates any problem, InfoGate displays an alert with the nature of the
problem and the exact location. Because of the designed intelligence contained
within Wybron’s IT equipment, an additional level of robustness is present, thus
significantly reducing the amount of troubleshooting and diagnostic time.
InfoTrace provides the ability to:
• Automate the setup of DMX addresses – no more manual setting of DIP
switches
• Proactively check the condition of equipment before, during and after a show
• Track lamp duty cycles to predict lamp failures before they happen
• Predict maintenance on equipment
