What kind of a system do your high school customers want controlling the heavy scenery over their students’ heads?

 

They need a control system that lets them be as creative with scene changes as they like-but it’s also got to be absolutely dependable. Whenever your customers hang weight over people’s heads, they need the most powerful and reliable rigging control system they can get. That’s why J. R. Clancy is proud to introduce Altus™ at the LDI show in Orlando, booth 1702.

 

Created with high schools in mind, Altus is based on a PLC processor – the ultra reliable systems that control elevators, CNC manufacturing and assembly lines. Clancy put its long history with its popular SceneControl 500 rigging control system to work to create a system that’s as dependable as its leading controller-while making it affordable for schools.

 

Altus can control up to 36 hoists, each with individual ramped speeds for each cue.  The console is available in wall mount, desktop or pedestal mount models, making the operation of rigging an ADA-compliant, accessible task for students with disabilities.

 

Students will love the easy-to-use, intuitive Altus touch screen, which allows them to create up to 200 cues with different speeds and trims for each hoist. Operators can name the cues, program each batten’s acceleration and deceleration, choose soft end-of-travel limits, and make adjustments on the fly with the built-in joystick.

 

“Altus is more suited to the backstage environment than controllers that run on an operating system and hardware meant for offices,” noted Tom Young, J. R. Clancy vice president of marketing. “We’re providing reliable equipment designed for the backstage environment, and backing it with a three year warranty.”
