Like the original, the new Platinum Spot 5R Pro features Philips MSD Platinum 5R Lamp Technology, an innovation that allows the creation of fixtures that are brighter and more powerful with superior light quality, yet are also faster, smaller, lighter weight, draw less energy and have longer-lasting lamps, says the company. But as its name suggests, the Platinum Spot 5R Pro also goes a step beyond to offer an expanded array of professional features and effects.
Among the new features on the Platinum Spot 5R Pro are a 16-bit CMY colour-mixing system, which allows users to concoct a palette of custom colours, and a Variable Zoom (4 to 1) with 11° to 42° beam angle. Additionally, the 'Pro' model is equipped with a built-in EWDMX Wireless DMX Receiver, capable of receiving DMX signals wirelessly from up to 3,000ft away that are sent via an Elation EWDMXT wireless DMX transmitter (sold separately).
"Based on the overwhelming success of the original Platinum Spot 5R, we are introducing a new 'Pro' model with added features like CMY mixing and wireless DMX," said Dirk Kast, general manager for Elation Europe. "The original Platinum Spot 5R took entertainment lighting to a whole new level with its Philips MSD Platinum lamp technology which, combined with a very short arc design and innovative reflector system, made it possible to get 575-watt brightness in a much smaller fixture - along with an extremely flat field of light. Now, with the new Platinum Spot 5R Pro, lighting designers can have all the benefits of this advanced lamp technology and design, plus some of today's most-demanded professional features."
