New! Anton/Bauer Dionic XT Battery Series
The new Dionic XT line of highly dependable, long-lasting, and rugged batteries will be shown in Europe for the first time at IBC2018. Dionic XT is the newest generation of Anton/Bauer’s highly popular Dionic battery series for broadcast and 14.4V cinema applications.

Litepanels: Gemini 2x1 Soft Panel Firmware Update
At IBC2018, Litepanels will showcase the latest firmware update for Gemini, the industry's most accurate and versatile 2x1 soft panel. Gemini eliminates the need for color correction by offering full-spectrum white light that’s perfect for lighting talent and rendering exceptional color. Lighting professionals can “go bold” by lighting with any color in the 360-degree color wheel and popular gels within Gemini’s color modes. Introduced at IBC2017, Gemini has been updated through the new firmware to provide a wider variety of cinematic effects — such as emergency lights, fire, TV, and hue bursts — that are fully customizable and that can be easily saved to presets.
Gemini’s versatile, ballast-free, lightweight design allows the light to be rigged more easily, requiring fewer cables because the power supply is built-in. The production-friendly soft panel can also deliver full-intensity output when powered by batteries such as the Anton/Bauer CINE VCLX battery.
