New Range of Electronic Sequencers

admin — Fri, 22 May 2009 09:39:08 +0000

We are happy to announce the release of our sub-site www.bodyhitpack.com showcasing the release of our new range of intelligent electronic sequencers: “BodyHit Packs”.
We have many years experience in designing electronics for custom sequencing requirements.

Our previous electronic sequencers continue to be used extensively by special effects crews in the film industry.

Over the years we have been keeping note of the feedback from our clients who get to use our sequencers in a variety of harsh environments, and have designed this new range from the ground up to take into account their requests.

With our Tuffit8 sequencers (first pack availabe in our range) we are taking electronic sequencing to a whole new level in terms of functionnality, security, and firing redundancy.

One of the most thought after features that we integrated to our device is the ability to test pyrotechnics. Thanks to our short circuit and cross channel detect system, you will know there is a problem before its too late.
