Robe is using the 2024 PLASA London expo (London, September 1 to 3) to launch four new products – the iFORTE Fresnel, the PAINTE Fresnel, the SVOPATT and the SVB1.
The new ‘live show will be premiered on stand A70 “The Fifth Dimension”, featuring three live performers, lots of tech and heaps of imagination. We are promised a few surprises in this show, and there are even rumours of one of Robe’s most popular ever products being present!
Robe’s other businesses – architectural and LED lighting manufacturer Anolis, networking and control specialist Artistic Licence, legendary UK-based console manufacturer Avolites and Australian-based power distribution gurus LSC – will all be located on adjacent stands.
This will illustrate the natural synergy and interconnection between all these brands which are integral to Robe’s future plans and visions.
The Fifth Dimension
The new live show will feature a diversity of Robe fixtures like iBOLT, iFORTE LTX, T32 Slim, Footsie1 and Footsie2 Slim, iSpiiderX, TetraX, Tetra2, the ever-popular LEDBeam 350, the RoboSpot remote follow spot system and the workhorse iT12 range of luminaires.
The show will play 5 times a day at 90-minute intervals
PLASA Awards
Three Robe products are nominated for the 2024 PLASA Awards for Innovation – the iBOLT and both the newly launching PATTS – the SVB1 and SVOPATT.
Robe will be presenting all its brands at the show – Anolis, Artistic Licence, LSC and Avolites Avolites with the D7-330 and D7-215 versions of the new D7 console.
iFORTE Fresnel
The most powerful Fresnel Wash of Robe’s iSeries, the IP65-rated iFORTE® Fresnel is available with a choice of two patented data-capturing IP65-rated TRANSFERABLE ENGINES: the iSE-TE™ 1000W White XP (Xtra Performance) 6.700 K, 40.500 lumen (Integrating sphere) with CRI70 is for maximum output requirements, while the iSE-TE™ 1000W White HCF (High Colour Fidelity) 6.000 K, 27.540 lumen offers a CRI of 96 for exceptional colour rendition.
The patented F2L™ two element smooth outer surface lens maintains a traditional Fresnel-style beam, the curved finish reducing the accumulation of outdoor detritus, while the parCoat™ hydrophobic, oleophobic-resistant coating facilitates easy cleaning without damage.
A motorised 10:1 zoom optical system, with a 6° to 61° zoom range, provides all the wash flexibility needed for multiple applications.
The iFORTE® Fresnel features a CMY colour mixing system. Two colour wheels and a variable CTO of 3.000 – 6.700 K offer all the tools needed to achieve everything from dense saturates to refined pastels.
ChromaTint™ patented green content control software allows fast adjustment, ideal for broadcast users. In a departure from other Robe fresnels, the patented PLANO4™ framing shutter module has four individual blades in separate planes with module rotation of +/- 60° to maximise beam control!
PAINTE Fresnel
The PAINTE® Fresnel delivers a quiet, quality wash solution for short to medium-throw applications in theatrical, television, installation, live or corporate settings.
The PAINTE® Fresnel colour palettes are properly boundless using the advanced CMY colour mixing system, a wheel with nine dichroic colours, variable CTO and Robe’s ChromaTint™ patented plus / minus green.
These luminaires are designed for noise-sensitive environments with multiple fan controls and a choice of a TE™ 310W HP (High Performance) White LED engine for maximised output or TE™ 310W HCF (High Colour Fidelity) engine for optimal colour rendition with an inherent CRI of 96.
With all the softness of a classic Fresnel beam, the motorised 8.3:1 ratio zoom has a range of 6°- 50° from the 150mm Fresnel lens, making it a compact wash luminaire.
There beam control is including medium and light frosts; RotaScrim™ graduated filter with position control, +/- 180° rotation and edge colour correction; the rapid 4Door™ internal barndoor system for accurate individual leaf control and +/- 90° module rotation for maximum flexibility.
The PAINTE® Fresnel is packed with Robe innovation including Cpulse™ flicker-free management for HD and UHD cameras; L3™ Low Light Linearity dimming software for smooth imperceptible fades to black; AirLOC™ (Less Optical Cleaning) technology that keeps the optics pristine for far longer and EMS™ Electronic Motion Stabiliser technology for enhanced fixture stability.
SVOPATT
Iconic Czech luminaires are instantly recognizable in the lighting world, and Robe has been inspired to honour this past legacy … with the SVOPATT™.
SVOPATT™ features a contemporary housing with nine individual modules each containing 7 x 40W RGBW multichips and the centre pixel also containing a 200W white LED strobe, seriously bright, worthy of its lineage and ready to make an impact with the SVOPATT™ both as a scenic element and a source of captivating effects.
An RLCT™ lens coating helps maintain high performance and protects against scratches and scuffs whilst preventing particle adhesion, ensuring optics stay cleaner for longer.
Multiple modes and protocols include ArtNet and sACN for easy pixel mapping; there is a choice a choice of RGB or CMY colour mixing modes; a variable CCT range; an onboard DataSwatch™ colour library with 66 preset colours, and tungsten lamp emulation. On top of that, the SVOPATT™ has a comprehensive colour control set.
Each individual module contains a noise-dampened motorized zoom, and the 3.8° – 50° zoom range enables the creation of tight beams or wide washes from each individual module. Cpulse™ software eliminates on-screen flicker and the +/- green content control makes it great for studio environments and broadcast scenarios.
SVB1
The eye-catching SVB1™ is a multifunctional effect, beam, and wash luminaire, a versatile, compact powerhouse in the new Robe SVOPATT™ family!
It delivers high-output and extreme speed with continuous pan and tilt rotation.
With seven individual 40W RGBW LED cells plus a central pixel with both RGBW and a powerful 200W white strobe LED module, the SVB1™ offers full pixel mapping for anything from mind-blowing to beautifully ephemeral looks and effects.
An RLCT™ lens coating protects against scratches and prevents particle adhesion, ensuring optics stay cleaner for far longer. The motorized zoom range offers precise 3.8° beams, up to expansive 50° washes, and the rapid speed and wide coverage are further enhanced by 360° continuous pan and rotation.
Colour mixing modes can be RGB or CMY, there is a variable CCT range and an onboard DataSwatch™ colour library with 66 preset colours, plus tungsten lamp emulation, and full colour control.
As with the SVOPATT, Cpulse™ software offers flicker free operation and +/- green content control, so this luminaire is ideal for studio environments.
Many modes and protocols include ArtNet, while sACN ensures straightforward mapping and network communication is streamlined with REAP™ (Robe Ethernet Access Portal). An Epass™ Ethernet pass-through switch maintains connectivity even when the fixture is powered off.
