2075.0. "VARI-LITE" by HSKAPL::VERGHESE (DRO Slipperman) Wed Aug 09 1989 08:15

    
    Not exactly a COMMUSIC topic, but anyway:
    
    Does anyone have the address of VARI-LITE Inc/Ltd?
    Or SHOWCO Inc. (Genesis' sound & light company)?
    They were the ones who invented the Vari-lite, weren't they?

      If you've been to a medium sized or big concert lately,
    you may have seen these spot lights that move in almost 
    any direction, change colors, vary beam width and intensity.
    That's the Vari-lite.
      I'd like to contact the manufacturer for some details on
    its features. It's supposed to contain some "intelligent" 
    logic circuitry, but I don't think it is MIDI-controllable.

	FWIW, I just came across an ad in the September issue of EM - on
	page 75.

	'Revolutionary MIDI/DMX512 Lightcomposer module'

	'Affordable "all in one" lighting/fx control from your MIDI OUT'

	'For more information on specs, applications, and sales call...
