Located right in the heart
of the central business district of Kuala Lumpur, the spectacular
Times Square Hotel & Convention Center is already established
as a major venue for key conferencing and banqueting functions.
Sitting on top of the city with spectacular views, the Times
Square complex houses the largest indoor amusement park in Asia with
14 major rides and the largest shopping area in Asia with
900 retail shops and 65 food and entertainment outlets plus
an IMAX 3D and 2D theatre, and a 9-screen Cineplex. The adjoining
Times Square Hotel offers 900 luxuriously appointed suites, and
several international restaurants.
And Times Square Hotel & Convention Center
really means business when it comes to providing quality conference
and banquet facilities. As well as the pillar-less Manhattan
Ballroom that can accommodate up to 2,700 persons for a cocktail
reception and 1,400 persons for a banquet function, there are
the Pre-Function area and 7 Conference Boardrooms plus the
Foyer area available for functions of all kinds conference,
theatre, dining or cocktails. Total maximum guest capacity
for functions is 5,500 persons.
Throughout this superb project, Times Square
relied on Futronix PFX Systems and other Futronix components
to provide their conference and hotel guests as well as thrill-seekers,
shoppers, and diners with the benefits of the most reliable,
fully-featured all-digital lighting and automation controls
available.

The house lights dimmed, curtains parted,
and the movie faded in from black... As
Home Cinemas evolve, the original core elements big screens
and surround sound systems are rapidly being joined by theatre-style
seating, curtains and automated lighting systems. And Futronix'
various systems now provide the very latest in Home Cinema lighting.
As modern life becomes ever more hectic, homeowners
increasingly want to turn their homes into an oasis. Popular
TV home-decoration shows both drive and reflect this trend. Previously
a luxury of the rich, successfully emulating full size cinemas
in their homes has now become a pleasurable pastime for many.
And lighting control - an essential ingredient for creating the
ultimate movie theatre experience - is undoubtedly becoming a
must-have for the dedicated enthusiast. What is lighting control?
What does it offer? How does it work? Where can I get my hands
on it?

The Futronix P800 - designed for
durability & ease of installation
The unique P800
comes with its own wall back-box, fabricated of robust
steel with welded corners for strength, and welded screw
lugs to prevent them being knocked out when clearing away
plaster after decorators have finished their work.
The box is pre-wired
with flexible wiring easily folded to fit into the box with
colour-coded cable markers, large earth terminals, built-in
fuse holder and high quality German made connectors. This
means that the electrician simply fits the wall box and
connects the building's wiring to the connector on the
back. Then, once the wall decoration is finished, the P800
dimmer is simply plugged into the back-box connector and
screwed into the back-box. |
