When the matrix projects narrow beams : 8°
Our breton friends, in love with warm and white light, designers of the famous Jarag, had a brilliant idea to use LED to create a beam projecting screen. This is how Elidy was born. A LED matrix on a semi-transparent plate where each optic creates a spotlight, as long as smoke materialize it. The picture animating the beam. What a nice innovation.
The heart of the Elidy modular system is a little 30 x 30cm panel, made with 25 optical systems rigid array, each capable of diffusing a 8° narrow beam. A Luxeon Rebel ES 3W (2800 K warm white) power LED radiates behind each collimator where a little black spot gets rid of any front highlight.

In order to make a small or large adjustable screen or even a wall, Chromlech has designed different holders to make the Elidy-S, a single panel on a non motorized yoke, the Elidy-Big 9 panels on a single frame and a yoke up to Elidy-Wall using the same panel but mounted on a bumper.
A configuration with Elidy-Wall and Elidy-Big (on the right end side) attached on a manual adjustable yoke.
To create a large backstage screen, the bumpers can be assembled and even adjusted to form angles. You can also extend the side poles and create a ceiling.
With 16 bits of resolution, dimming is linear and extremely smooth, thus getting details in grayscale to optimize the picture and a beam when pushed all the way through.
Amazing and simply brilliant also the possibility to change the appearance of the panels, with their steel front and their aluminum back, by applying magnetic plates. These surfaces are printed, just like paper with graphics and logos or could even become projection surfaces.
Off course Chromlech offers the required power supplie : hanged to the chassis or remote the PSX9 offers 3 outputs, each one being able to power 3 elidy-S through an accessory Spider Box . The control signal will be either DMX or Ethernet.
Would Elidy be the largest projector of the world? With its maximum surface of one hundred square meters, there is no doubt about it.
To change the front aspect of the modules, drilled magnetic plate fits easily.
Elidy covered with synthetic wood magnetic plates can also stimulate the floor.
