Philips announces the release of Strand System Builder

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND - Philips announces the release of Strand System Builder software; a simple-to-use program for creating, documenting and presenting a lighting control and luminaire system tailored by you to meet the requirements of individual theatrical or architectural display projects.

With the recent release of V3.2, Strand System Builder™ (previously only available for 120V markets) this powerful and intuitive tool becomes an international solution for lighting designers, specifiers, technicians and consultants allowing the selection of luminaires, dimming and control products for any region of the globe.

The V3.2 addition of the Philips Selecon line of luminaires makes Strand System Builder™ the only design tool currently available with a full line of theatrical lighting fixtures. The Acclaim, Rama, Pacific, Arena, Hui, and Aurora product families have been integrated into a completely re-designed Luminaire Wizard to help users pick the correct luminaire for their specific application. The inclusion of EC21, WallRack and the rest of the Strand 230V product catalogue make Strand System Builder™ a worldwide tool for reference and system design.

A user-friendly interface and product wizards means you do not have to know catalogue or part numbers and simple input or import of load schedules will automatically generate dimmer, relay and emergency transfer system hardware requirements. SSB will also produce the project bill of materials, one-line diagrams, standard product drawings, written specifications as well as data sheets to presentation quality colour PDF standards which can be personalised with your logo and company information.

A detailed product reference library includes catalogues, product photos, data sheets, manuals and more PLUS a "Learn More" section includes dozens of technical white papers.

Once you have SSB installed on your PC (be warned however, the initial download is 483meg and it may take some time) and have signed up to receive the regular updates via email then it's quick and simple to keep the program up to date.
