Pathway Connectivity Solutions, a leader in developing DMX distribution and networking products, announced today the release of the DMeXit Emergency Controller, a new solution for venues that use theatrical and dynamic lighting but require emergency lights to illuminate to levels necessary for safe egress in emergency situations.
When triggered in an emergency event, the DMeXit controller circumvents the normal DMX signal and plays back a predetermined lighting scene appropriate for an emergency. The DMeXit may be triggered by an external contact closure or loss of normal power. DMeXit can also sense the loss of the normal DMX signal and will enter emergency mode. The trigger brings on a fully customizable single universe of DMX which then transmits to four isolated RDM compliant outputs. The controller offers the advantage of an optional integrated Phase Loss Detection device, housed within the same enclosure.

Passion of the Christ meets Cirque du Soleil
“The Thorn” is a modern day Passion play, a theatrical depiction of the life and death of Jesus, yet with a modern touch. The immersive theatrical show combines modern dance, music, martial arts, aerial acrobatics, and emotionally powerful performances, with state-of-the-art lighting and visuals. The play is known for its stunning visual effects and has been staged yearly since 1998. The current 10-city tour launched on March 1 in Loveland, Colorado, and ends on April 8 in Miami. This year, IPS provided audio, video, lighting, staging and special FX for “The Thorn,” their
10th year working with this incredible theatrical production. IPS Vice President of Design & Operations, Caleb Franke, served as lead lighting designer on the project. He comments, “This
show is often affectionately described as ‘Passion of the Christ meets Cirque du Soleil’ so it’s truly a theatrical journey filled with moments ranging widely from subtle to celebratory. The Elation fixtures we use give us the dynamic range we need to help tell the story.” Elation has featured in IPS’s visual design for the show for many years.
