(01/04/2015) 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!!!
BMFL BladeThe 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 RobePOWER 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!
