Using either onboard controls or a standard DMX-512 controller, operators can blend the LEDs to create any shade of white, from cool natural daylight to soft warm tungsten - or anything in between, says the company. The versatile TVL2000 makes it possible to instantly customize studio lighting to complement any skin tone or production environment with a soft, even white output.
The panel also features full 0-100% dimming capabilities, so users can fade in and out and control the intensity of the light. A 4-way barn door system around the LED source allows light to be directed precisely to the desired area of illumination, and a magnetic gel/filter holder allows users to add frost or diffusion easily.
"As any broadcast TV/video lighting engineer knows, white light is not just white. There are a lot of subtleties and nuances in studio lighting, and you often have to adjust the shade of the lighting very quickly to customize it to different skin tones and/or scenic elements," said Dirk Kast, general manager for Elation Europe. "The TVL2000 was designed to give broadcast lighting professionals total control over colour temperature and allow them to move from the coolest daylight to the warmest tungsten with ease. With 0-100% dimming and a barn door system included, this is truly one broadcast lighting LED panel that can do it all."
A fully DMX-compatible fixture, the TVL2000 can be operated with any standard DMX-512 controller via 3- and 5-pin DMX inputs. It also features its own onboard LED menu control panel, located on the rear of the unit, which gives operators easy command over colour temperature and dimming via two separate control knobs with interactive LED screen info on settings.
