This ground breaking product
combines the best aspects of existing programming
methodologies with some stunning new concepts – in a
system unrivalled for ease of use and programming
power.
K2 has 3D support inbuilt at its
very core. The programming and playback environments
display real moving objects as realistic graphical
representations. These are positioned in a 3D space
in the correct proportions and relations to the
stage, set and other items as well as other moving
objects.
All these graphical items can be
created in industry standard CAD packages and
imported directly into K2. Programming then becomes
very simple, with manipulation of the moving objects
as straightforward as click-and-drag.
Cues can be simulated and
rehearsed in full 3D before being run for real,
complete with multiple viewing angles and user
controlled camera views allowing the operator to be
sure that no aspects of the movement or its
interaction with other elements are hidden.
User programmable limits and
clamps allow envelopes of motion to be easily
constructed around objects. When combined with
numerous other safety features and extensive
feedback to the user, the programmer can be in
complete control of the devices they are running.
K2 is not just limited to
winches and chain hoists - any number of devices can
be connected to this powerful and flexible system.
Personality files make integrating new mechanical
devices into the system very straightforward, with
minimal additional configuration needed.
The K2 USB Wing adds dedicated
start and stop buttons and rate override wheels to
the six playbacks, and a comprehensive manual
operation section. The K2 Wing incorporates a
full-width dead man's handle and an emergency stop
switch for integration with safety systems such as
the Kinesys Array ES and Array PD-ES.
