Ikan launches single-cable PoE (Power-Over-Ethernet) studio lights

Officially debuting next week, Ikan's Lyra PoE (Power-Over-Ethernet) studio lights use just one RJ45 Cat6 cable to provide both power and seamless DMX control. 

Simplifying studio setups and minimising cable runs is always a good thing, and the forthcoming Lyra PoE range promises to do just that. The new lights, which come initially in either a 1x1 or low-profile form factor, can be placed with just a single  RJ45 Cat6 cable providing both power and seamless DMX control (compatible with Art-Net or sACN).
