The Pyron range includes an advanced set of control software, two DMX-equipped hardware consoles, battery-powered (FDC W and FDC A), and the FD P1 quick access controller/keypad.

Twelve months after the launch of the LightShark lighting console at LDI 2017, Work Pro, brand that distributes Equipson, returns to Las Vegas to launch the new range of Pyron control systems.

These solutions have the experience of its R&D team in the control of lighting devices and in digital pyrotechnic firing systems.. This product series includes different devices with wired and wireless connectivity, designed to provide event planners and companies with complete control of stage special effects. From stage pyrotechnics, lighting effects, up to CO2 machines, flames and cold fire, Etc.

At launch, the Pyron range includes an advanced set of control software, two DMX-equipped hardware consoles, battery-powered (FDC W and FDC A – version with extended features), and the FD P1 quick access controller/keypad (connected to consoles either wired or wirelessly).

All incorporate waterproof ABS carrying cases, IP67 and easy to carry, for use in demanding environments, both indoors and outdoors.

Consoles connect to M2 pyrotechnic ignition modules. Can be used up to 64 M2 modules with each console, and each of them can throw up 16 fireworks simultaneously.

Consoles represent the interface between control and scenario effects in the Pyron system. They have rechargeable batteries, allowing great flexibility in any circumstance and with sufficient capacity for use in several shows.

The FDC W can execute both individual and grouped pyrotechnic fire commands in macros while controlling the special stage effects through its DMX output.

FDC A offers all the functions of FDC W, adding Open System Control (OSC) and Ethernet connectivity for more control options. Your user interface, consisting of keyboard and display, allows autonomous use without the need for an external controller, although it is also accessible from the same.

The FD P1 (Fireworks Digital Pad) is designed for users who need a separate control from the main console. Can be connected to the console via a cable or wirelessly, as needed. Up to 25 macros for pyrotechnic effects and 15 more for DMX-controlled element sequences. This combination of pushbuttons allows the simultaneous control of pyrotechnic and FX events in the show.

“Like LightShark took the best aspects of previously incompatible concepts from large-scale lighting consoles and affordable lightweight control software of reduced size, the Pyron range does the same with the stage concept. Lighting and pyrotechnic effect controllers, which were generally considered separate elements in the past ", explains Juan José Vila, CSO de Work Pro.
