Vari-Lite has released the RigSwitch+ Power Platform, a family of customizable all-in-one power control solutions for entertainment lighting installations.

A single global power platform with 120V/277V and 230V power options, RigSwitch+ provides relay switching with configurable propagation delay and is available in branch-fed and mains-fed wiring variants. RigSwitch+ cabinets are available in a variety of channel counts, with onboard current monitoring on all models. All models can be easily controlled by DMX, with RDM management support built in as well.

Thanks to onboard Ethernet connectivity and a built-in user interface in most models, RigSwitch+ also provides remote power control via sACN, Art-Net, Vision.Net, OSC, or via web-based interface or API. RigSwitch+ can act as a 1 universe Ethernet-to-DMX gateway, and it includes an optional integrated timeclock as well. And with support for daylight and occupancy sensors, DMX/RDM signal detection, and emergency alert response, RigSwitch+ can automatically adjust to environmental changes without user interaction.

To ease regular monitoring, the cabinets can be managed via RDM, with dedicated user interfaces available on Vari-Lite Neo X Series and FLX S Series consoles. In addition to the cabinet itself, administrators can monitor connected Vari-Lite RigSwitch+ and architectural control devices from a web browser on your PC, Tablet, or Phone.

RigSwitch+ is available in four different cabinet sizes, with relay options ranging from 4 channels to 52 channels. To simplify ordering, an easy-to-use configurator tool is available for download from the Vari-Lite website.
