The German company continues to play an active role in the show, and in addition to showcasing its expanding portfolio from a typically spacious open-aspect stand, it will also participate in the STLD LED shoot-out with its innovative Spot One and Wash One, and market-leading impression 120 and impression 90 LED luminaires.
And it is the new impression Wash One, making its UK début, that will be given star billing at the show.
Boasting a 400W RGB LED light engine, and the same groundbreaking technology as the Spot One, the fully-featured luminaire is able to deliver delicate colour changes or instantaneous colour bumps over a wide, carefully-calibrated colour spectrum.
The impression Wash One offers a 6°-60° zoom range - but the key differentiator is its innovative 3° narrow beam mode and its unique variable soft-edge beam control that allows softness adjustment. Another attribute is the beam shaping function that enables the user to illuminate only the parts of a stage that need to be lit.
With its baseless yoke the Wash One weighs just 22 kg - perfect both for transportation and flexible stage rigging (in any orientation).
Meanwhile, G-LEC, originators of the semi-transparent video panel, are introducing the Phantom 15, which uses latest technology to deliver maximum screen brightness in a new 15mm pixel pitch format.
Phantom 15 offers a new level of flexibility at a higher resolution than has previously been available. It incorporates seamlessly with other panels in the Phantom range of different resolutions (Phantom 30 and Phantom 60) to create a uniform mixed screen, and maintains the Phantom heritage of maximum transparency, lightweight construction and fast assembly / disassembly.
The Phantom 15 is daisy-chainable, uses the newest and most innovative LEDs on the market (to maximize both contrast and brightness) and runs without a fan.
Finally, GLP will launch a new device called G-LEC Video Processor.
Available in three versions (Pro, Standard and PC) generic features include a 30 sec set-up time (with automated placement, snap features and stage plan picture underlay), intuitive 'What You See Is What You Get' placement, offering individual panel scaling and a single video input to many different pixel pitches, to name just a few.
All visitors are invited onto the stand for a special 'impression' beer on the stand throughout the show.
