Austria/Germany: Weigl Control Is New RAVENNA Partner
Austria’s Weigl GmbH & Co KG, one of the leading suppliers of show control solutions and known under its brand name Weigl Control, is new partner for the “RAVENNA” audio technology platform from Munich-based ALC NetworX company.
“I’m happy to be a RAVENNA partner. The ProCommander® X Series, which we developed in celebration of our company’s 10th company anniversary, will use RAVENNA for network-based audio distribution. The ProCommander® X Series expands the functionality of the ProCommander® Series with polyphony, advanced networking, extended network lighting playback and digital motor control via industry standard CANOpen and EtherCAT protocols. We chose RAVENNA for its state-of-the-art, standards-based technology, its unsurpassed flexibility and the ability to provide our customers with a wide range of AES67-compatible network devices,” says Weigl’s CEO, Ing. Manfred Weigl.
Andreas Hildebrand, RAVENNA product manager at ALC NetworX, is pleased to welcome Weigl Control on board: “I am really proud that Weigl Control has chosen RAVENNA as their network-based audio distribution technology. Weigl Control has an impressive record of installations in globally renowned theme parks and other entertainment locations where seamless interoperation between motion and media is key. During our initial discussions with Weigl Control it became clear that 100 percent reliability, interoperability with other AES67 devices and highest flexibility are the decisive factors – a perfect match for RAVENNA. Watch out for the first RAVENNA-powered roller coaster ride!” (eap)
