Zero 88 ORB Console

Zero 88, part of Cooper Controls Ltd, launched ORB, a new theatrical lighting console based on market research and customer feedback. The ORB uses four universes of DMX control and the ZerOS software suite, the same platform underlying the operating system used for Zero 88’s Leap Frog and Frog 2. The ORB lets users control and integrate multiple LED fittings, intelligent lights or media servers controlling video along with generic dimming systems. The user interfaces include custom designed encoder wheels, multiple playback stacks, user definable keys and optional touch screens. The ORB also offers tools like an integrated track ball, automatic palettes and syntax keys for more experienced lighting operators. The ORB will be featured at the ProLight + Sound Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany. Read More...

Palco 5 Full Color LED

Palco 5 Full Color looks like other fixtures in the Palco line, but has the ability to create a new kind of look. The fixture uses REBEL LED, a light source with a maximum performance of 80 Lumens. There are 105 LEDs in a matrix of 35 lenses, each 9 watts of power, for a total brightness of 5,500 lumens. The space-efficient color mixing system mixes the red, blue and green Rebel LED with a choice of three different lenses: narrow, medium and wide. The fixture works as a color changer with powerful beams of light, even color on the illuminated surface and an elimination of color shadow effects, with color uniformity evident even when viewing the fixture’s LED matrix directly from the front.

Chroma-Q Color Block 2

AC Lighting’s Chroma-Q Color Block 2 LED fixture adds new single color RGBA optics, 530 lumens output (almost double the original model) and theatrical grade dimming. With its increased color palette and CRI of 90, the Color Block 2 fixture can produce a wide range of colors and hues with built-in variable color temperature capability. Four LED cells offer performers less glare and can mix together for single color output, minimizing color separation shadows. The beam optics combine a soft asymmetrical quality for uplighting surfaces and a soft Fresnel-like edge for direct illumination. As modular as its predecessor but with close to twice the output, the Color Block 2 fixture can uplight a 6-meter set, and it can be used for its strobe-like intensity and control, or for theatrical grade dimming.
