2009 ILDA Awards
Presented
June 7 2009 at the ILDA Conference
in Amsterdam, hosted by DMXLASER.
(Note that there were no
2008 ILDA Awards. The previous awards were the
2007 Awards (entry deadline Dec. 2007, judged in spring 2008 and
presented at the Sept. 2008 ILDA Conference on the Carnival
Imagination). The 2009 Awards had an entry deadline in Jan. 2009,
they were judged in May 2009 and were presented June 7 2009 in
Amsterdam. For more information on why there are no awards called
"2008", click here.)
ILDA's awards for
excellence--the laser display industry's equivalent of Hollywood's Oscars--each
year honor companies and individuals from around the world for their
achievements:
-
The
Artistic Award
categories cover virtually all aspects of modern laser displays, from the
production of huge outdoor shows to the creation of individual laser graphics.
- The
Fenning Award
honors technological achievement that advances the industry.
- The
Career Achievement Award
is ILDA's highest honor, given for work spanning many years in the area of
show quality, innovation, and industry service.
For 2009, ILDA received 112
artistic entries from 19 different Member companies. These entries were judged
May 24 2009 at the judging host company, Lighting Systems Design Inc. (Greg
Makhov) in Orlando Florida. Judging coordinator was ILDA Executive
Director Patrick Murphy.

2009 TECHNICAL
AWARDS
Fenning Awards for Technical
Achievement
Judges: Daniel Cohn (USA), Yousri
El-Gazar (Egypt), Rogier Tuinte (Netherlands)
1st: "LaserMatrix", Showtacle
LaserMatrix is a device for
controlling more laser projectors. It makes laser show creation for more lasers
easier. Programming LaserMatrix is similar to programming moving heads. It also
allows integrating more ILDA laser sources and switching among them.
2nd: "IRIS ColorSafe", Eye-Magic
IRIS ColorSafe addresses two
important issues in laser display. The first is the unstable and highly
non-linear output of modern solid-state lasers. The second is audience scanning
safety. The system adjusts the laser power inside the safety zone depending on
beam velocity, point-by-point in real time.
3rd (tie): "3D Laser Projector
'Magnetic Beam'", Lightwave International and Arctos Lasertechnik
The magnetic beam projector
uses a revolutionary new technique to create seemingly impossible non-linear
volumetric 3D abstracts in mid-air. The designs not only vary in two axes as
with traditional projectors, but the projector also has control over the
placement of "light solids" along the Z-axis as well.
3rd (tie): "New Universal Control
System with Safety and Linearization", HB-Laser
We developed this BUS board
with five card slots, to provide a unique laser safety and linearization board
for single-color systems and also for RGB systems. It has individual plug-in
boards for each color channel.
Hon. Mention: "LASORB", Pangolin
LASORB is a device that
protects laser diodes from ESD and power surges. LASORB can also improve the
dynamic behavior of laser diode drivers. In essence, LASORB extends the lifetime
of laser diodes by protecting them from optical and electrical overstress
conditions.
