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.

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.
