NEW: ALPHA SPOT QWO 800
The Alpha Spot QWO 800 makes its first international appearance at the show, featuring the latest MSR Platinum lamp - an 800W light source that produces an intense sparkling light, brighter even than older 1200W lamps. Additionally, the Alpha Spot QWO 800 is equipped with optical features that place this luminaire at the very top of its class, including a very wide zoom range from 7.6° to 55°; uniform beam distribution at all zoom angles; and a unique Stay-Sharp-Zoom feature that locks images in focus while zooming.
Add to that the lamp's ability to reproduce highly detailed images, and the Alpha Spot QWO 800 becomes a brilliantly effective graphics projector, says the company, adding: "For that reason we decided not to skimp on the effects included: two glass gobo wheels (one rotating), an animation wheel, a rotating prism, and a number of color options including a full CMY system, a color wheel and a variable CTO system."
The beam's size can be altered using the slick, 16-blade iris that provides a more rounded, continuous hard edge. For soft-edged projections, there is a variable frost, while accurate dimming is achievable via an electrical-mechanical hybrid dimmer.
Making the most of these features is the Dyna-Cue-Creator, a powerful tool that not only speeds up programming, but automatically synchronizes effects in a way that would be very complex to program manually.
The Alpha Spot QWO 800 has two other vital features. First, it is one of the quietest automated luminaires in existence. It never exceeds 42dBa and runs even more quietly while operating at half power (400W). Its second advantage is its small, compact size - no bigger than an Alpha 700. Usually, fixtures with such a rich set of features are housed in large, bulky frames - instead, the Alpha 800's slim, compact build lends it greater speed and agility.
Small, lightweight construction, impressive zoom range, excellent brightness, uniform beam, silent operation, low consumption - these are just some of the features that make the Alpha Spot QWO 800 an excellent tool for TV, theatre, corporate events, and countless other demanding lighting applications.
NEW: GLOWUP
Also making is first international appearance is the GlowUp portable, battery-powered uplight for events and exhibitions. This luminaire is designed to remove the logistical headache of running cables at events - dramatically reducing set-up time, while saving money and improving safety.
Based on durable, high-power LEDs, GlowUp offers years of energy-efficient service. Power is stored in a rechargeable lithium battery, a tried and tested technology found in many portable consumer devices such as mobile phones. The battery is lightweight making the fixture easy to carry and can be recharged 2000 times without suffering from 'memory' or capacity loss.
GlowUp is fully programmable, allowing users to select scenes from a library containing dozens of suggested colors as well as a number of pre-programmed, color-changing sequences. Installation and set-up is entirely wireless and without cables. The battery eliminates the need for mains power; and each fixture can be programmed without needing to use cables. Each fixture has a wireless onboard data receiver, so several fixtures can be synchronized at once wirelessly. For those that prefer, GlowUp can also be cable-connected to the grid and programmed using standard DMX cables.
Free to use anywhere, GlowUp is indispensable in places where access to power is limited or where running cables is difficult or prohibited, for example, areas of natural beauty, archaeological sites, churches, monuments and other public spaces. The product is also
