Robe goes LARGE
at the 2015 Prolight+Sound expo in Frankfurt, Germany with an expanded booth
and lots of action, showcasing 10 new products on Stands B51 and B61 in Hall 11.0.
These
include the BMFL Blade – the next fixture in Robe’s new signature Bright
Multi-Functional Luminaire (BMFL) range, which joins the hugely successful BMFL
Spot, launched six months ago.
The latest
additions to the DL range include the DL7S Profile, DL4X Spot, DL4S Profile and
the DL4F Wash; there are two new versions of Robe’s ParFect LED PAR fixture, a
new LED batten fixture, the CycBar 15 as well as a brand new LED moving light
spot fixture – VIVA.
Robe
prepares to rock the LED strobe market with its innovative and powerful Strobe
(pronounced stro-bay to rhyme with Robe). The Strobe from Robe brings the ultimate
flash factor to any show or event!
In
addition to these ten exciting and diverse products, Robe has more surprises
waiting on the stand … and also in a special private demo room!
Another
awesome lightshow will feature a megamix of the new products, highlighting in particular
the BMFL Spot and Blade.
As you
would expect from Robe … there will be a crew of knowledgeable, multi-lingual
staff on hand to answer all questions and arrange demonstrations, technical
support as required, together with a fantastic bar, fully stocked with superb
Czech beer and the usual amazing hospitality throughout the four days of the
expo.
On the
opening day of the show, Robe will have the Fed Cup Tennis Trophy on the stand
– which is really special! People are welcome to drop by for photo
opportunities! Robe is a major sponsor
of the Czech team in this year’s Championship … and they are hotly tipped to
win!!!
Robe’s product
press conference will be at 3 p.m. on Wednesday 18th – so please add
the date to your calendars!
BMFL™ Blade
The new BMFL Blade fixture offers four fast shutter
blades with smooth and precise movement in the new BMFL Blade lighting fixture.
The shutter blades are individually angled and positioned within a frame which
itself can rotate through 90 degrees, providing a sharp or soft, precisely
repeatable frame for the projected image.
This produces a new series of fast-moving in-air
effects through pre-programmed shape and movement sequences of the blades, gobo
images can be trimmed or framed in a regular, triangular or trapezoid shape.
Each pair of opposing blades can close for a complete
blackout.
Two gobo wheels – one rotating with six slot&lock
gobo positions plus another with 8 static gobos can be combined with the
Animation wheel to create numerous dynamic projected effects.
This is added to the
already acclaimed Robe BMFL features including: exceptionally smooth linear
dimming; imperceptible high definition colour mixing; full width beam; output
in excess of 250,000 lux at 5 metres – and the Robe EMS™ (Electronic Motion
Stabiliser) technology which enables the BMFL to both move and stop faster and more accurately than any
other fixture in its class.
All this is housed in a
compact body profile weighing just 38Kgs.
DL7S Profile™
The DL7S Profile is the first DL range fixture to receive a powerful new 800W
version of the LED engine with seven colours for unprecedented smooth, stable
and even colour mixing and a very high CRI of 92.
From the deepest to the lightest
colours the DL7S provides a rich full colour spectrum experience, and features
custom colour mixing and dimming and seamless operation especially at the
minimum brightness levels.
Four fast framing shutters within
the optical path are individually controllable for position and angle and the
entire framing module can be rotated. Crisp and soft frames can be used on
projections, and a new series of effects is possible using a selection of
pre-programmed shutter blade shape and movement sequences.
One rotating gobo wheel with six slot&lock gobo positions plus a static
gobo wheel with 8 static gobos can be combined with the Animation wheel. Other
effects and features include variable frost, rotating prism and super-fast
iris.
As with all the DL luminaire range,
the multiple LED lightsource is completely homogenised.
Strobe™ from Robe
POWER is everything!
The Strobe from Robe
could not be anything but THE brightest, best value, most sophisticated LED strobe-blinder
effects unit on the market – Ultimately controllable, configurable and
arrayable.
The Strobe from Robe
produces super fast, intense bursts of high powered pulses optically harnessed
from the 120 x high
powered white LED
chips that can be adjusted in frequency, duration and intensity.
The fixtures are
incredibly easy to rig either individually or in multiples, and equally
straightforward to program using ‘direct segment’ control or the pre-defined
macros.
The fixture is fitted
with the standard Robe RNS touch screen display system, and can be used
together with DMX, RDM, Artnet, MANet and sACN protocols.
There’s also an optional
wireless DMX module.
VIVA™
Elegant and lightweight, Robe’s VIVA
is packed with smart effects that are easy to use. The fixture is very powerful
yet consumes little energy.
The 270W white LED light engine
gives an extra punchy beam and an incredible 20,000 hours of operation – in
fact, no re-lamping will be needed for the entire life of the fixture!
Vivid and radiant colours can be
applied from two colour wheels and rotating or static gobos added for
projections or mid-air effects. The smooth zoom can go out to 40 degrees at its
widest and be softened up with variable frost to create a gentle wash-like
output or dynamic background projections.
The minimum 8° zoom produces a
piercing beam that can be trimmed with ultra-fast stepless iris for really punchy
output, and by using Robe’s proprietary EMS™ (Electronic Motion Stabiliser) technology VIVA
has an extremely fast pan/tilt movement.
That and much more is possible with
VIVA – an entertaining and contemporary fixture!
DL4X Spot™
An improved and 30% brighter version
of the ROBE RGBW LED module (lightsource) allows the DL4X Spot fixture to
utilize specifically modified colour mixing and dimming for extra smooth,
operation especially at minimum brightness levels.
The colour outputs are brighter than
a comparable 1200 Watt discharge unit, however offer an average very eco-friendly power consumption of
only 250 Watts!
The optical system produces a super-smooth,
high quality light output and an almost infinite selection of rich, beautiful
colours with no shadows.
There is a versatile zoom of 10 – 45
degrees.
Effects features include a
combination of static and rotating gobo wheels with custom replaceable
positions, variable frost, three-faceted prism, superfast iris and much more…
including a full range of dimming and variable strobe effects.
DL4S Profile™
Building on the massive success of
the DL series of LED luminaires, the DL4S Profile is the first to receive a new
30% brighter LED module, with specifically modified colour mixing and dimming
for extra smooth, stepless operation, especially at the lowest brightness
levels.
The DLS has four fast, smooth, framing
shutters within the optical path and individual control of each shutter blade
position and angle, together with rotation of the complete framing module.
As well as providing a sharp or soft
frame for the projected image, this system produces new effects through a
number of pre-programmed shutter blade shape and movement sequences. As with
all models in Robe’s DL range, the source is completely homogenised with no
shadows or blockiness.
Robe’s RGBW LED light source
reproduces both deep and pastel colours at output levels normally associated
with1200W discharge fixtures as well as pure whites at preselected 2700, 3200,
4200, 5600 and 8000K colour temperatures.
A tungsten emulation function allows
the fixture to be integrated seamlessly into lighting schemes with existing
traditional lanterns, so especially good for theatres and other venues with
fixed installations.
DL4F Wash™
The perfect companion to the DL4S Profile and the DL4X Spot, the new DL4F Wash
is based on the same powerful RGBW LED module, again offering improved
brightness and specifically modified colour mixing and dimming for extra smooth
operation at the minimum brightness levels.
The DL4F Wash produces a perfectly even light output via its front fresnel
lens, and the fixture is optimized to give no shadows. (RGB breakups / shadows
are not present even when the luminaire is rigged on a truss or very close to
the object it is lighting).
Mechanical features include a newly designed linear motorized zoom of 5.5° –
60°and a diffusion filter that extends the zoom up to 75°.
The fixture uses an internal barn door
module for shaping, comprising four individually controllable blades, and is
rotatable by plus or minus 90 degrees.
Advanced software features include
RGBW or CMY colour mixing, a set of calibrated whites, CTO, Tungsten lamp emulation
(amber shift) and more.
ParFect S1™
A powerful single source LED luminaire, the ParFect S1 is designed
specifically to provide the highest quality of light.
It is available in different colour temperatures to suit the application
– a crisp 6000k white for exhibition/display … or a warm 2700K for stage
performance.
High resolution DMX dimming and a native 23° output make it universally
appealing. Designed and built entirely at Robe‘s Czech facility, the unit is
housed in a lightweight composite material and finished in either black or
white. Supplied complete with gel frame, detachable barn door set and swivel
floor stand/hanging bracket.
ParFect
S1 is very competitively priced and offered with a full complement of
additional options including beam diffusers and plug-in wireless DMX
module.
ParFect H1™
This is a direct replacement for a traditional phase-dimmed line voltage
luminaire. Internal electronics enable this powerful single-source LED unit to
be controlled and dimmed through the power supply or from existing dimmers
without modification.
Available in different colour temperatures to suit the application – a
crisp 6000k white for exhibition/display or a warm 2700K for stage performance
– both with a native 23° output – give this unit a wide application base.
Designed and built at Robe’s Czech manufacturing facility from a
lightweight composite material the ParFect H1 can be finished in either black
or white. It is supplied complete with gel frame, detachable barn door set and
swivel floor stand/hanging bracket.
ParFect H1 is very competitively priced and offered with a full
complement of additional cost options including beam diffusers and plug-in
wireless DMX module.
CycBar 15™
The Robin CycBar 15 is a lightweight
static 1000mm linear strip which uses 15 equally spaced super-bright RGBW
multichip LEDs for enhanced 18bit colour mixing and linear dimming without RGB
’breakup’ or grey shadows.
Fixed but re-definable beam angle lenses
of 7.4°, 21.2° and 34.6° are available, and optional diffusers can also be used.
Advanced pixel control driver
software provides special features like the virtual colour wheel with
pre-programmed colours and a set of true whites with CTO Tungsten lamp
emulation and more.
