Desk Dough® Beam is the first of its kind …. a 100% digital lighting fixture!
Desk Dough® Beam turns any digital projector into a stunning beam machine! It’s the missing brick (or brain) between your lighting desk and your digital projector.
A combination of Austrian-made hardware and German-manufactured software in a solid aluminium casing of superior quality. Ready to shine bright and illuminate whatever your project may be. The product itself is milled out of a solid aluminium block which is cooled directly over the body to survive a naturally misty environment.
How does DDB work?
DDB is compatible with any digital projector of your choice to create a limitless array of dazzling beams.
It´s the all-around “BeamMachine”! DDB is more organically flexible and full of movement, colours, light and shapes than you have ever imagined in your wildest “beam-dreams”. All the necessary in/output connectors come already-built-in. Cue control as simple as with any other fixture.
What can you do with DDB?
Just imagine if all of your favourite gobos were available all the time!
Desk Dough® Beam enables you to create and control lighting beams in completely new ways. You can do it hard, you can do it soft; you can even create multiple-beam outputs, at the same time, coming from just one light source – individually controlled.
Think of lighting up your artist with a single, static beam, while at the very same time running fascinating mid-air effects out of the same fixture! You can control each beam-parameter precisely to your needs.
Why choose DDB?
Because we love beams! We love them passionately with all of our hearts, and we-as-a-team have combined not only our love for them but also our individual strengths and expertise to deliver to you the absolutely-peerless beams that you deserve.
It´s an almost synesthesian experience as you begin to become one with the product itself, creating beam-fx that tailor-fit the audio you’re listening to. Brightness, size, tempo, smoothness, movement, amount, colour, deformation, direction, you name it! YOU control it.
Because you own the projectors already!
Because “move in black” is soooo 80’s.
Because with DDB, “sharp-frosted” becomes a true oxymoron.
Because you don`t need gaffa tape to label each DDB, the display even keeps its information after prepping without power connected (no batteries in the system at all!)
Because prism duplication and randomization is freaking awesome.
Because you wanna make sure that your kick-ass show is perfectly consistent, no matter where it is performed all over this big, beautiful world. No need to clone lighting fixtures that don´t match functions, just order your set of light sources to define brightness and lens. Keep those damned lumen-throwers attuned to your needs and you´re all set.
How and where is it possible to run DDB?
First of all, it´s controlled in exactly the same way as any other show-lighting fixture!
For the most favourite lighting desks, Stops & Mops provides you with all necessary library files. Each Desk Dough® Beam Brick offers you three individually-controlled lighting layers, plus a master-output which is used for general fx and function settings. Desk Dough® Beam operates, like any motorized fixture, over DMX. Your DDB will naturally and seamlessly integrate into any show-lighting environment, whether it be Rock&Roll, TV, Corporate, Theatre, Musical, Club or Arena.
