1998 ILDA Awards


Presented at the 1999 ILDA Conference in Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Hosted by ABC LaserEvents


From corporate presentations to multimedia educational exhibits, the 1998 ILDA Awards for Outstanding Laser Display honored the world's best laser presentations from around the world. Judged by a three-person panel, the ILDA Awards for artistic achievement recognize companies for creativity, professionalism and uniqueness. ILDA's Fenning Award honors companies for technical accomplishments.

Nearly 200 attendees gathered in Amsterdam for the awards banquet, where 13 companies received awards in 11 artistic categories and four companies were honored with Fenning Awards. Several award recipients brought clients with them to the podium and thanked their sponsors for supporting laser displays. Germany's LOBO electronic was honored with six awards, the most received by any company. America's AVI Imagineering with Lasers took home four awards (all of them in the ISP Projector category), as did meeting host ABC LaserEvents of The Netherlands.

1998 TECHNICAL AWARDS

(Note: In 1998, the ILDA technology award was renamed in honor of the late Fred Fenning, who pioneered many laser display developments during his 21-year career in the laser field.)

Fenning Award for Technical Achievement

1st:   "Showtime", Pangolin Laser Systems

Developed by William R. Benner, Jr. and Patrick Murphy, Showtime was the first all-in-one laser program that allowed complete shows to be created, edited and performed on a single computer. Showtime lets laserists synchronize frames and animations with the computer's internal CD player and with other sources such as SMPTE time code. It gives users a timeline for sequencing a show, offers video-like frame transitions, and can trigger external devices.


2nd:  "Catweazle LC Galvanometer Scanner", MediaLas Laserproducts

Scanners are the heart of any laser projector, and the new scanners by MediaLas were designed to combine linearity, speed and reliability at a low price. The Catweazle performs at the ILDA 30K speed at a 10 degree deflection angle, and has a maximum 40 degrees of deflection.


3rd:   "Lacon-5 Laser Control Unit", LOBO electronic

The Lacon-5 features a hybrid multiprocessor engine can control up to 12 laser projectors, light systems, and other peripherals. LOBO's optical data link connects all devices, with one fiber capable of controlling up to four laser projectors. A safety monitoring system enables each attached device to react to malfunctions.


Honorable Mention: "DMX-Nova", Omicron Laserage Laserprodukte

DMX-Nova is an interface between laser projectors and the DMX-512 protocol that is standard for theatrical lighting controllers. The device allows operators to use DMX commands to control a laser projector as if it were a theatrical light.
