Hey Tim:  don't know what brand but we used a fairly sophisiticated  
track at the Exploreum in Mobile....capable of diming double sided  
track (you insert the fixtures two ways in any track- but it didn't  
control individual lamps, though).  all touchpad controlled...call  
Stuart - he is or was the head of the physical plant....If its the  
next gen of Altman he can at least give you some insight.....
