In this brief recorded webinar, learn the basics of the RigSwitch+ Series Power Platform.

The Vari-Lite RigSwitch+ Power Platform is a family of customizable all-in-one power control solutions for entertainment lighting installations. A single global power platform with 120V/277V and 230V power options, the RigSwitch+ Series offers affordable rig and architectural power to a variety of system sizes. RigSwitch+ provides relay switching with configurable propagation delay and is available in branch-fed as well as mains-fed wiring variants.

RigSwitch+ cabinets are available in a variety of channel counts, with scalable options and features to meet the needs of installations of any size, with onboard current monitoring on all models. And thanks to optional 0/1V-10V and DALI dimming modules, it’s easy to control house and work light power from the same device.

In addition to the integrated power control, RigSwitch+ also includes space to customize the cabinet by adding a variety of modules to add features and capabilities. Integrators can add interfaces to connect to a variety of Vari-Lite and third-party devices and systems, including DMX, RS232, digital I/O, and more.

Thanks to onboard Ethernet connectivity in most models, RigSwitch+ also provides remote power control via sACN, Art-Net, Vision.Net, OSC, or via web-based interface or API. RigSwitch+ can act as a 1 universe Ethernet-to-DMX gateway, and it includes an optional integrated timeclock as well. And with support for daylight and occupancy sensors, DMX/RDM signal detection, and emergency alert response, RigSwitch+ can automatically adjust to environmental changes without user interaction.

To make RigSwitch+ easy to order, commission, and manage, cabinets can be ordered prewired from a single product code. Cabinets can easily be installed by electrical contractors, and integrators can configure RigSwitch+ via common RDM tools. The cabinets can also be monitored via RDM, with dedicated user interfaces available on Vari-Lite Neo X Series and FLX S Series consoles. In addition to the cabinet itself, administrators can monitor connected Vari-Lite RigSwitch+ and architectural control devices from a web browser on your PC, Tablet, or Phone.

RigSwitch+ is available in 4 and 8 channel architectural models that include 0/10V & DALI dimming as standard, as well as 12, 24, and 48 channel performance models, where 0/10V & DALI dimming is available as an optional module.
