Altman Lighting 2 Circuit
Smart Track
Introduction
Smart Track
Altman Architectural/ Theatrical Smart Track Lighting Systems is a revolutionary way to bring
digital control signals to addressable architectural/ theatrical lumanaires without the need for
dimmer packs and bulky cable runs.
Altman Smart Track is easy to lay out, install and offers lighting professionals the opportunity
to easily create and activate new lighting scenes time after time. The Smart Track Lighting
System works in conjunction with Altman Smart Track lumanaires; from the IQ Series, a family
of pars, UV, LED and wall washers; the Master & Micro Series of pars and ellipsoidals, and
select Theatrical fixtures. Quartz, CDM, low voltage and LED selections are available in both
Smart to Non-Smart versions of various types.
Smart units have an addressable DMX dimmer for quartz units, a DMX on/off relay for CDM
and on board power supply and DMX interface for LED lighting units. Non-Smart units work
via direct power and cannot be addressed or controlled. With Smart Track you can dim
individual quartz lamps; switch the CDM lamps on and off; as well as dim and color mix LED
sources. The unique features and capabilities of Altman Smart Track make it the ideal solution
for many applications. The system is suitable for retail stores, museums, churches, restaurants,
theme parks, night clubs and much more. The range of applications for Altman Smart Track is
as varied as the looks the system makes possible.
Altman Smart Track is a comprehensive system of components that offers innovative soloutions
for transporting control signals as well as power to individual lumanaires. Whether using simple
architectural stations; a laptop; or a DMX based theatrical lighting console, the lighting
professionals are always in control with Smart Track. The heavy duty extruded aluminum track
is ideal for demanding applications where a low profile look is desired but numerous
lumanaires are required. The Altman Smart luminaires retain their identity and programming,
even when moved to new location on the track.
Automated luminaires as well as other DMX luminaires and accessories may be controlled from
the Altman Smart Track by using a Smart Track DMX convenience adapter. AC convenience
adapters are also available. Non DMX luminaires can be controlled via the Smart Box, a Smart
600 watt maximum load addressable dimmer with a receptacle for powering and dimming from
the track. Support for these types of fixtures is independent from the track.
For total flexibility, you can choose your protocol. Smart Track is compatible with DMX and
RDM (Remote Devise Management). It can also be integrated into existing systems to easily
expand new designs. By incorporating the digital control signal into the track, the Smart Track
system allows dimming, switching and effects to be obtained when using any of the numerous
compatible Altman lumanaires. With the quartz and CDM luminaires with on board control as
well as Altman Spectra series luminaires for color mixing, the lighting potentials are endless.
