2 Company Profile ADB, originally founded in Belgium in 1920 by Adrien De Backer, operated as a family business until 1987 when it was acquired by the SIEMENS Group. At that time ADB had already pioneered some of the key technologies used in stage & studio lighting, such as digital dimmers, memory control systems, high performance optics... and was strongly established as a leading broadline manufacturer with facilities in Belgium and France. In December 2002, as the result of a management buy-out, Christian Léonard, today s CEO, backed up by a group of private and institutional investors, took over control of the whole ADB-TTV Group and very rapidly restructured and streamlined the operations. Today production and logistics are centralized in the French facility in Saint-Quentin, whereas R&D, Product Engineering, Marketing and International Sales are still located in the Belgian premises as before. Following these changes, the new ADB Group is now a lean and agile operation able and eager to face new challenges. ADB s core competence is in high performance, high quality products and services for professional applications in stage and TV studio lighting. From system design through equipment specifications, installation and commissioning, ADB provides customized solutions for any kind of stage or studio lighting system, also for fully equipped Energy Vans for location lighting. ADB operates through 3 subsidiaries in France, Belgium and Hong Kong, and a network of over 50 professionnal distributors worldwide.

Stand-alone system when connected to a laptop or an all in one PC via USB, it can also be used as an extension for a Rack PC Unit, a LIBERTY or a FREEDOM. 2 DMX 512 OUTPUTS / 1 INPUT 32 Universes Designed to be used either as backup with a LIBERTY or a FREEDOM, or as a stand-alone playback unit, this new compact 4U 19 housing solution will be easily integrated in control rooms and technical rooms. 2 DMX 512 OUTPUTS 32 Universes RACK PC UNIT LIBERTY Stand-alone console, the LIBERTY is the spot-on solution for TV studios seeking a fully integrated solution to control conventional and moving lights as well as LED sources, compact and portable. 2 DMX 512 OUTPUTS 16 Universes FREEDOM With four additional rotary push-wheels and a large size trackball for precision positioning control, the FREEDOM allows users to control quantities of multiple LED fittings and intelligent lights on the fly. 4 DMX 512 OUTPUTS 1 DMX 512 INPUT 32 Universes

5 DIMMING AND POWER management EURODIM Twin Tech Up to date quality TV lighting uses Incandescent as well as Fluo, Led and Discharge light sources in various CTO from warm-white to daylight. Some need a dimmer, others direct power + data. Whilst this mix of sources can change per production, set design or mix of skin tones, it is necessary to have an economic and clever power management. DimSwitch Modules ADB s TWINTECH solution with DimSwitch modules allows for one and only circuit distribution wherein any circuits can be a direct solid state relay or a normal dimmer with no minimum load required. EURORACK 60 Furthermore, this DimSwitch technology is also available in EURORACK 60 for smaller studios or ex-studio stages such as newsroom, flash or press areas. Standard Configurations: 24 x 3 kw 12 x 5 kw (12 x 3 kw) + (6 x 5 kw) 12 x 3 kva industrial contactors 200 µsec. professional broadcast filtering MEMORACK 15/30 Intelligent, all-digital dimmer racks designed for professional applications in stage, TV studio and architectural lighting, whenever high performance, quality, endurance and reliability are the prime considerations. Ideal for touring, decentralised dimming or extension of existing installations or rental. And also 3/6/12- channel portable and «rackable» dimmer packs, 3 and 5 kw. Standard Configurations: 12 x 3 kw 6 x 5 kw 6 x 3 kw 3 X 5 kw 200 µsec. professional broadcast filtering

6 NETWORKING Concept HATHOR offers a true multiuser system for studios that require multiple operators or multiple locations. All stations are fully synchronized at any time. In Standard mode, the full tracking synchronized Backup works as a watchdog to the Master. In Duo mode, the full tracking synchronized Backup works both as a Client and as a watchdog to the Master. In Multi-User mode, HATHOR becomes a full multi-operator system admitting unlimited number of users (Clients) working and monitoring on the same play-file. NETWORK offers: Multi stations environment including Master-Backup feature Monitoring Dimmer Management Studio Management Remote Control File server system Multi DMX Data protocols over Ethernet. Wi-Fi systems may be used for non-critical parts of the system, such as: Console Remotes Designer Laptops Mobile clients for service work

7 Dimmer management: TT manager software allows monitoring of dimmers via a computer from any location on a venue s lighting network. The software provides an overview of the status of dimmers, error and alarm messages (loss of DMX, fan failure, over-temperature, missing phase, and so on) plus diagnostics information for individual dimmers, and the condition of connected loads. Warp Management: Warp -Scan software allows addressing and setting of networked Warp Moving Lights. Luminet A monitoring and control software that allows you to modify Ethernet-DMX node settings. Studio Management: Soft-panel software allows fully customizable user panels running in networked Touch PC to remote the main system. System architecture The HATHOR system layout is strictly centralized; all output is generated by the Master and then distributed to all connected stations, fully synchronized at any time. Output data is distributed via Ethernet, to DMX Gateways and / or directly to DMX over Ethernet suitable devices. DMX over Ethernet protocols supported: RDM, Streaming ACN, Artnet, ETC Net2, AVAB UDP, SA-Net, ShowNet, Pathport and SandNet.

8 Luminaires & light sources Any content available on your TV, pad or smart phone, must first be seen by a camera and needs the right light source to combine light level, coverage and CTO. Therefore, ADB offers a wide range of light sources and fixtures, including incandescent, fluorescent, LED and discharge (MSR). Fresnel Spotlights Full range of halogen Fresnel luminaires W - 5 kw Manual or pole operation The reference for hight quality lighting ALC4-2 The ultimate LED Cyclight 4 x 50 W sources for a light output equivalent to 1250 W of halogen power Full RGB+White for more than 1 million colours Remote control via DMX512-A Flickerfree, homogenous light output with no coloured shadows 7 calibrated preset White levels between 2700 K and 6500 K LED life time +/- 35,000 h LED Fresnel with tungsten halogen colour temperature 3200 K or with daylight colour temperature 5600 K 250 W LED source Fresnel spotlight with 175 Ø lens Manual or pole operation The reference for hight quality lighting

9 LED Panel LED high power Fill Light 360 W 3200 or 5600 kelvin lux at 3 m Beam angle 48 SOFTLUX Fluo Cool Lights 2, 4, 6 or 8 x 55 W fluo lamps, 3200 K or 5600 K Dimming via DMX512 or local control Manual or pole operation Lamp life time > 6000 h WARP Manual & Motorised Profile WARP/M, the only fully automated Zoom Profile for totally silent operation. No fan = No noise 800 W halogen lamp -> 3900 lux at 10 m / W discharge lamp -> 14,500 lux at 10 m / V V power supply Patented ring control of all functions Repositioning accuracy < 0.1 And also conventional halogen cyclights and soft lights + a comprehensive range of accessories

10 Suspension Systems In most broadcast studios, the studio suspension system account for the major part of the lighting system budget. ADB s expertise allows for early advise towards architects and structural engineers in order to ensure that the building s design includes the load capacity and structural grid design that allows for an efficient suspension solution. Furthermore, our engineers can include cyclorama and curtain tracks and the specific lighting requirements. Motorized Hoists A choice of models for 120 kg nominal load, with steel band pile-up with either No- Load/ Overload safety mechanism or I.S.S Intelligent Safety System. I.S.S, ADB s proprietary Intelligent Safety System, represents a unique, state-of-the-art approach to suspension safety. I.S.S. first measures the initial load (the reference) automatically before starting up, then monitors in real time any variation from the reference, and eventually stops the hoist if the variation exceeds a set value as determined by the sensitivity level selected by the operator. Track & Barrel System For low ceiling studios where the use changes frequently, ADB has engineered a simple and yet very effective Track & Barrel system, where lighting bars are mounted on prewired trolleys which travel across the studio along a structure of parallel industrial tracks.
