Jubilee is Las Vegas' longest-running spectacle, the show made infamous by the E! reality series Vegas Showgirls: Nearly Famous.

The High End Systems Catalyst is this year's most talked-about product, created by Peter Wynne Willson of WWG, that allows a video projector to act like a DMX-controlled moving light. We take a look at how to use this new system with High End programmer Vickie Claiborne and a few other pioneers.
