Simon-Kaloi Engineering (SKE), collaborated with Sally Corporation to produce state-of-the art dark rides for the amusement park industry.  The “Challenge of Tutankhamon” dark ride is one example.  Several SKE SLAM-2000s provided all of the audio, lighting control, and character animation for the rides (you will see them in the Central Control Room).  SKE also designed and manufactures exclusively for Sally Corporation, all of the electronic components for Sally’s proprietary laser gun and targeting system.  Click the video play button to see a video an example of one of these exciting interactive dark rides.

Parametric equalization, filter functions, compression, and so many other DSP functions are now available in the latest versions of rPOD and Mini-SAM OS.  DSP functions can implemented in real-time via a PC, Sigma Studio and an Ethernet connection to the rPOD or Mini-SAM. Register and download the latest version of Sigma Studio at the Analog Devices Website (see link in the Software and Support Section), and the TCIP.dll.  DSP files are saved onto the compact flash cards used on the rPOD and Mini-SAM and can also be stored on a PC or storage device.

Simon-Kaloi Engineering (SKE), collaborated with Lockheed Martin at a Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (IITSEC), to create this demonstration of a live-fire military training exercise.  SKE equipment played back 8 channels of digital audio that included character, background, and situational moving audio, along with synchronous animation, lighting, and effects control.  The character could speak both in English and Arabic and several different live-fire training situations were presented to the  the trainee.  This video demonstrates only a small portion of the possibly training situations that can be created.
