Robe at Prolight Sound Frankfurt 2016 posted: 29/03/2016
Robe will bring impact and style to booth D80 in Hall 3 of the Frankfurt Messe for Prolight Sound 2016, taking a booth size three times larger than before accommodating literally hundreds of guests that will recreate a timeless classical theatrical environment.
This visual treatment will provide a perfect backdrop for two new key products - the DL7S Profile and the DL7F Wash which are specifically aimed for theatre and television markets.
The eye-catching stand will feature a special space where the hourly One Man One Light show will play daily, every hour on the half-hour, with the first show at 10.30 a.m. and the last at 18.30. It will illustrate the power and versatility of Robe's elegant BMFL Blade profile fixture built for stage and performance applications.
The entire mood of the booth will transform over the course of each hourly period allowing visitors to experience complete daytime and night-time ambiences.
A full lightshow optimised for stage / concert scenarios will also play through the day every hour on the hour (the first show at 10.00, and the final at 19.00), ensuring that there is always plenty of contrasting action on the booth.
Several new products will be launched, highlighted and shown in action across two large demo areas, and the Robe international sales and technical support teams will be on hand offering multi-lingual assistance in 15 languages - reflecting the diversity and global flavour of both the company and the Prolight event.
The New Products DL7F Wash
Featuring a traditional fresnel front lens, the new Robin DL7F Wash is an LED source offering a classic looking and conventionally homogenized beam with high resolution smooth dimming.
The 200mm diameter fresnel lens is easily interchangeable for an optional PC lens.
Seven individually adjustable colours give unprecedented smooth, stable and even colour mixing and a very high CRI of 90. Green can be added or subtracted and the CTC can be regulated between 2700 to 8000K via dedicated control channels.
The new innovative internal Scrim module (a graduated filter) can be inserted into the light path which allows rotation of the whole assembly by /- 180 to achieve smooth wash coverage when projecting onto non-perpendicular surfaces.
Mechanical features include a custom designed linear motorized zoom of 7 - 65 and an interchangeable diffusion filter.
The DL7F Wash uses an internal barn door module - four individually controllable blades - for creating different shapes, which is rotatable by /- 90 .
BMFL WashBeam
Seen for the first time at a trade show after the worldwide online launch in January!
Extra bright output and abundant amazing features - including newly developed framing shutters, a super wide front lens and animation wheel - ensure the latest BMFL series fixture can enhance any show with its impressively large beam, produced through the wide 180mm front lens.
Utilizing a custom light source designed for Robe, it produces an astounding 300,000 lux at 5 metres!
The rotating gobo wheel has a carefully selected set of gobos that give numerous combinations for aerial animations as well as fabulous spot-like projections onto any surface.
Four fast shutter blades with smooth and precise movement offer individually angled positions within a frame - which itself can rotate through 90 degrees, providing a sharp or soft, precisely repeatable line-up for projected images.
BMFL Wash / Wash FX
European trade show debut already seen in action on many high profile shows.
Robe's BMFL Wash is the ultimate 1700W lamp based wash light with a large 200 mm diameter front fresnel lens giving a high quality traditional wash output ranging from a punchy tight 4.5 to a smooth 55 .
Custom interchangeable frost filters with three grades (light, medium and heavy) add a delicate soft touch.
CMY CTO colour mixing filters give the unprecedented BMFL quality colour transitions together with two colour wheels each with 6 colours, one with custom replaceable SLOT&LOCK positions.
Advanced DMX controllable edge aberration' correction produces even smoother hues and seamless coverage.
The optional XF module expands the features of the BMFL Wash. It adds the internal Scrim, a graduated filter that can be inserted to the light path and allow rotation of the whole assembly by /- 180 for wash coverage when projecting onto non-perpendicular surfaces. Internal motorized barn doors help create unique shapes, while the barn door module itself consists of four individually controllable blades and is rotatable by 180 degrees.
Spikie
Spikie is a new small, super-fast LED WashBeam, which utilises a single 60W RGBW light source with a specially designed 110mm wide front lens producing a nice solid beam.
The fixture quickly zooms from a soft wide 28 wash to a tight sharp-edged 4 beam or one of two new stunning air effects.
The dynamic Flower Effect creates sharp multi-coloured spikes of light, rotating in both directions at variable speed. Additionally, a unique Beam Effect Engine transforms the output into a dynamic ray of three narrow beams, bringing a totally different visual enhancement to any show.
Continuous rotation of the pan and tilt brings a new dynamic to the stage, and weighing just 5.5 Kgs, Spikie is very compact and can be hung anywhere.
Linee
The new Linee produces a powerful zoom-able blade of light, which effortlessly cuts through the air or can also be used to create beautiful soft wash illumination.
This continuously rotatable unit has a zoom range from 4 to 33 and each pixel can be individually controlled. The unit, great in combination with the Square, is the same width (as the Square) and consists of a line of five 30W RGBW multi-chips.
The Linee can become an effects light with the Beam Effect Engine
