Ayrton will be bringing six new products to PLASA London 2015, all which have been launched this year. MagicDot-R and CosmoPix-R were first shown in the UK at PLASA Leeds but now make their first appearance in London on the stand of Ayrton's exclusive UK distributor, Ambersphere Solutions (B10).
MagicDot-R and CosmoPix-R are part of the Creative Solutions line, into which Ayrton has incorporated a totally new technology: the first 94mm diameter narrow beam angle collimator combined with the latest generation high-power (40W or 60W) Osram multichip LED to create tighter beams with an unrivalled centre beam intensity.
MagicDot-R has proved a hit from the moment it was released and is currently appearing on the Foo Fighters international tour. The latest member of the RADICAL series, MagicDot-R is the first professional moving head LED luminaire with a single optical collimator. The new high-efficiency 94mm diameter optical system uses a brand new 60W RGBW multichip LED with a light-emitting surface of 8mm2 that delivers an intense 4.5° beam with a central beam intensity of 180,000 candelas.
CosmoPix-R has sparked the imagination from dance halls to television shows. CosmoPix-R is an entirely new luminaire based on the concept of the famous PAR36 double-rotation spheres that date back to the early '80s. Using the latest technology, Ayrton has revamped this lproduct design, and endowed it with a continuous combination of potential effects.
CosmoPix-R has extended series connectivity and can be controlled by DMX-RDM, Art-Net or with a wireless DMX-RDM link via a new generation TiMo module by Ayrton partner, LumenRadio.
The third new member of the Creative solutions line, VersaPix-RS will be shown for the first time in the UK. VersaPix-RS puts Ayrton's new 94mm diameter optics in combination with a 4mm2 40W RGBW multichip to produce five 3.5° beams (the narrowest in Ayrton's portfolio) with a record-breaking central beam intensity of 200 candela per lumen.
PLASA London also marks the UK premiere showings of DreamPanel-Shift and DreamPanel-Twin - two exciting new moving head fixtures developed from the inspiration behind Ayrton's original innovative DreamPanel Series.
Ayrton's DreamPanelHD-Box control system has been specially developed to drive the video panels in HDMI. The controller manages the image, the positioning of the panels, and the rotation between the media server layer, which generates the signal, and the display layer.
Finally, Ayrton's Automated Luminaires range has been expanded to encompass the WildSun-K25 which will be shown for the first time in the UK at PLASA London.
Designed as a replacement for conventional 4000W HMI Fresnel projectors, WildSun-K25 is a new-generation moving head luminaire. Working in collaboration with cinematographers and operators specialized in video production for major sporting events, Ayrton dedicated over two years to the development and perfection of this marvel of technology, innovation, and light.
