Chauvet Professional Stands Out at Prolight + SoundChauvet, a manufacturer of professional lighting, showcased fixtures at the Prolight + Sound 2013 International trade show, attracting numerous visitors at its stand. Popular in show were Chauvet Professional Legend 230SR Beam moving yoke, Ovation series of theatrical luminaires, Nexus 4x4 pixel-mapping wash light, and Q-Wash 436Z-LED wash light. Additionally, Chauvet showed new previews to products coming soon to our COLORado and Q-Series. Chauvet's architainment brand Iluminarc was represented by outdoor and indoor solutions such as Ilumipanel 40 IP, Ilumipanel 180 IP, and Ilumipod 18g2 IP, which generated great interest. Chauvet Professional Nexus 4x4 is both an eye-candy and a tour-ready wash light that uses RGB COB LED technology, combined with a reflector that delivers a soft and visually pleasing light. From audience blinder effects, vibrant pixel-mapped eye-candy effects, to large-scale stage washers, Nexus 4x4 offers great rendering from off-axis viewing angles, and even field from the 16, 20W cells per panel. The fixture is set up to run in almost any system utilizing Art-Net, Kling-Net, or DMX, with on-board power and data linking that can be used as an Art-Net to DMX converter. Nexus 4x4 utilizes integrated mounting hardware, which makes for an easy setup whether it's one, or an array of 100 fixtures. Chauvet Professional Legend 230SR Beam is a compact, lightweight, intensely bright moving head beam, built for touring, live events, television sets, or clubs. Legend 230SR Beam has a tight 2.25-degree beam angle and houses a 230W Osram Sirius lamp, which makes this fixture strikingly bright at 96,000 lux at 15m. The incorporated high-quality glass optics and eight-facet rotating prism with zoom capabilities and motorized focus contribute to hard-edged beams and energizing aerial effects accentuated by haze or fog. Operating at variable speeds, the trapezoidal 14-position (plus open) color wheel allows for better split colors and seamless transitions. Also featuring variable speeds, the gobo wheel has 17 gobos (plus open) for inspiring effects. Chauvet Professional Ovation F-165WW and Ovation E-190WW luminaires are designed specifically for theater and stage. Powered by 16, 10W LEDs, Chauvet Professional Ovation F-165WW -- the line's Fresnel-style fixture-delivers over 1,730 lux at five-meters (13-degrees), maintaining this intensity without a significant temperature-related drop off. The fixture has an easily adjustable motorized zoom and works exceptionally well with barn doors to aid in glare reduction and beam shaping. Knobs for local control of both dimming and zoom enable fast focus calls with or without a board-op. Its innovative LED source produces smooth, even washes from 9- to 52-degrees with a color temperature of 3,100K and a beautiful soft field. Selectable dimming curves and 16-bit dimming control make it compatible with older, traditional theater Fresnel lights. Powered by 19, 10W LEDs, Chauvet Professional Ovation E-190WW -- styled after the ellipsoidal spot fixtures -- delivers over 3,446 lux at five-meters (using the 26-degrees lens tube). Ovation E-190WW has standard beam shaping shutters, separate gobo and effect slots, and lens barrels that are interchangeable with other ERS fixtures. It will be shipping with the option of 19-, 26-, 36-, or 50-degree high-resolution lenses. Ovation E-190WW has a color temperature of 3,100K, a beautiful flat field, 16-bit dimming control, allowing for smooth fades at the lowest levels. Joining the Q-Series line of moving heads, Chauvet Professional Q-Wash 436Z-LED is a zooming LED wash powered by 36, 10W quad-colored RGBW LEDs. A versatile zoom of 17- to 39-degrees makes this unit appropriate for a wide variety of applications. Five sections of LED control and built-in color macros deliver stunning eye-candy effects and flicker-free dimming allows for on-camera use.
