The Victor was successfully launched at the show yesterday whilst the Lancelot was running the first DMX operated modules of the NORIA 6-way gobo wheels and CHRO-MIX colour mixing system. These DMX versions are now in full production and confirm the Lancelot's position, not only as an exceptional long throw followspot, but as the most powerful effects projector.
There was a noticeable migration of people throughout the show between the Robert Juliat and Goboland stands. The reason for this became clear as customers viewing the new Tempest exterior housing for the Robert Juliat Quincy were directed to the Goboland stand to see for themselves the quality of projection of which these lanterns are capable. The high resolution coloured images produced by the Goboland's new organic dot method of gobo production were shown to perfection in the crisp optics of the 575W Quincy, which also handled the keystoned images with great accuracy. "Customers were amazed at what the Quincy could do," says Robert Juliat Sales Director Lionel Garraud. "the combination of these high resolution gobos with the quality of the Robert Juliat optics is something our customers are very excited about."
The Tempest exterior housing has been designed specifically for both the Robert Juliat Quincy 575W and the Figaro 250W (12,000hr) architectural fixtures by Tempest Lighting of California. "This confirms Robert Juliat's status as a key player within the architectural market providing high quality image projection within a practical application," explains Garraud.
The Tempest units have already been employed successfully on projects across Europe and America, with the most recent being the prestigious WAMU venue in Seattle where twenty exterior Quincy units were used to project a mural across the side of the building.
