Overview               Digital P-45 AF

The  Digital P-45 AF Firing System is the Little Brother of the Digital Nighthawk 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 manual system to meet the needs of massively varying displays, with all the bells and whistles of its big brother.

This system lets you select  and fire Digital modules manually, By standard selection or by 14 preset module groups that allow simultaneous multiple module firing, Also Full Auto Time Fire, FSK Time Code Sync Fire, and Step Fire with the added capacity and flexibility of Digital operation and the Largest Cue Capacity available on any system on the market, This panel is no lightweight!!

But the real innovative technology is the ability to fire up to 7,668 cues using any of 199 addressable Digital SM 32T Smartfire or Digital 45 modules, in Wired or Wireless configurations!

The Panel is available with Internal wireless card or will work with external transmitter.

Now you can get a Automated digital wired or wireless system with all the features of The Digital NightHawk For less Than Half The price.

This system is even flexible enough to allow for use as a Firing panel for those with Smartfire systems that want to fire  shows without their laptop, It also serves as an inexpensive backup panel to Smartfire or Digital Nighthawk.
