Overview             Digital Nighthawk

The Digital NightHawk Firing System is the Flagship of the pyrotechnics industry. It boasts cutting edge technology and features that are unavailable in any other firing system made by any company and is as well the most powerful and user friendly system of all others.  It was designed for display companies that needed an extremely flexible system to meet the needs of massively varying displays.

It is the only system that lets you select manual, sequential step, Internal clock timed or computerized firing using Time Code, depending on the needs of the show. It has all the features of the analog NightHawk with the added capacity and flexibility of Digital operation and the Largest Memory tables available on any system on the market, This panel is no lightweight!!

But the real innovative technology is the download computerized firing.  Before the show, you connect your laptop to the controller and transfer the display script.  You then disconnect your computer and store it away.  When the show is ready, you start it from the control panel right on the Nighthawk.

This means you get computerized firing without the risk of a display stopping computer or windows crash.

If your shooters are not comfortable with using computers, the script can be downloaded at the office before the show is packed.  Of course, you also have the option of simply using the system as a manual fire system.  Or the ability to manually capture any program without software by entering cues with the switches.

 

This unit can even accept analog modules or rails from other companies or systems.

Also the Digital NightHawk will work with any Pyromate Digital Module, Wired or Wireless.

This system is even flexible enough to allow for an internal rechargeable or Emergency external power source.

 

 

 Overview  Features  Specifications  Pricing  Manuals 

Features

Can be fired using manual pushbutton In manual mode: sequential trigger step fire, Internal clock Timed fire, Sync fire fully computerized scripts with time code.

In manual mode

45 weather and dust resistant push buttons and 199 distribution channels allow for simple manual firing of up to 7668 cues.

In sequential mode:

Can be programmed using built in scripting software or by Manual capture mode and fired in Step fire, Prompted Fire, or Timed Fire

Trigger steps through script and fires appropriate cue at your pace

Fully computerized mode:

Uses Nighthawk Scripting and Download software designed for the system that not only works with SmartShow but will convert and download any other Choreography software you may have.

Internal processors and memory allow for fast script download on five separate script tables.

LCD screen has complete Show data and Battery Status

Firing is accomplished without an attached computer to greatly improve reliability.

Can be used in a wired analog, wired digital, wireless digital, or hybrid setup.

Compatible with Smartfire wireless or wired modules or almost any brand of analog modules.

Pyromusical support with FSK time code modem or SMPTE via Hard disc Recorder options.

Accurate and programmable up to 1/100 of a second.

Up to 12 programmable rail groups for manual firing

Up to 199 digital firing modules, each with 32 or 45 fully addressable cues

Up to 7668 cues per show

5 Separate show memories, 3 of 3500 cues and 2 of 540 cues

Self contained rechargeable battery power system with SmartCharge

Also can be powered by an external power source.

Time code support allows multiple systems at multiple sites to fire perfectly in sync.

If time code stops being received, the system continues firing the show on its own internal clock.  Therefore, loss of radio station feed does not stop the show mid display.

Rugged design from cases, to connectors, to wires can handle the harsh environment expected at a display
