Pro Sixteen

Multi-Image Programmer

Powerful programming of 2 to 16 projector presentations

With Arion’s Pro Sixteen and Pro Dissolve dissolvers you can create powerful slide shows, controlling two to sixteen projectors and multiple auxiliary devices*. Pre-select dissolve rates, timings and other special effects, then accurately synchronize them to a soundtrack with one button simplicity.

Slowly fade up a sunrise or quickly flash lightning bolts across several screens - with the Pro Sixteen it’s easy and fun. Simple dissolves or multi-projector effects are organized into convenient sequences which can be activated with a single button push. In addition, the unique help system guides the beginner through all programming steps - in plain English.

SMPTE Time Code - Fast and accurate synchronization
SMPTE Time Code is recorded on the sync track of an audio tape. You can then adjust the timing of sequences with up to 1/100th second accuracy. Making timing adjustments (such as synchronizing a lightning bolt slide to the sound effect) is as easy as changing numbers in the timing display. In addition, working with SMPTE time code allows for easy integration of slides with video, Midi and other time code based devices.

Mate-tracTM - an important Arion advantage
Mate-tracTM is the ingenious signal Arion developed to synchronize dissolves to an audio tape.

Mate-tracTM virtually eliminates synchronization problems associated with low cost dissolvers. This means your slides appear on the screen only at the appropriate time. Even if your audio tape is rewound or forwarded, the slides will seek out their proper location and continue in synchronization. Mate-tracTM is also compatible with the Kodak PDC so all those old shows will run flawlessly on a Mirage.
