Kinesys - Products - K2

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.
