Elation To Spotlight Hi-Res Panels, White LED Fixtures and MSD Platinum Technology Moving Heads at InfoComm

Elation Professional will unveil new products in a number of categories at the InfoComm 2011 Show, to be held in Orlando, Florida June 15-17. These new products can be seen at Elation's Booth #5665.

One area the Los Angeles-based supplier is addressing is the convergence of lighting and video, with its new EPV (Elation Pro Video) Series of hi-res video LED panels which include:

EPV 762 MH: A high-resolution 7.62mm pitch LED moving head video panel, the EPV 762 MH can rotate just like a moving yoke light fixture. Its pan of 540 degrees and tilt of 265 degrees give video displays maximum exposure at shows and event, the company says. Equipped with 4,096 tri-color (red, gree3n, and blue) SMD LEDs and featuring 2,000-nit brightness and high contrast levels, this versatile screen will create eye-popping videos, graphics, text messages, special effects or any other image, the company says. A high refresh rate of 2,000Hz ensures flicker-free performance. Each square panel measures 19.2" x 19.2" and is equipped with Ethercom input/output for the video signal and Powercon in/out for power link, and includes its own built-in 100-240V psu. Each panel consumes just 350W of electricity maximum (230W average).

EPV 15 Flex - A 15mm pitch LED video panel, the EPV 15 Flex has a flexible design that makes it easy to create curved video walls. Featuring 16-bit processing and 4,500-nit brightness, it is IP56-rated on the front and IP54-rated on the back, allowing it to be used either indoors or outdoors. Equipped with a 100-240V built-in power supply, each panel measures 19.2" x 19.2"/ and weighs 20 lbs.

Elation will also introduce some white LED-powered fixture. These will include:

WW Tone - A high-output 100W warm white LED wash fixture, the WW Tone is the ideal key light, stage wash, or house light, the company says. Featuring the new Bridgelux LED source (3,000K color temperature 82 CRI), and silent operation, it is designed for broadcast, stage or front of house lighting applications. Capable of operating in two DMX modes, the WW Tone includes an electronic dimmer and strobe. It comes with barn doors, a gel frame, and 25° lens standard, with optional 45-degree lens available. A five-year LED engine warranty (supplied by the LED manufacturer) adds to its value.

ELED Fresnel II - Bringing all the advantages of LEDs to stage lighting, the ELED Fresnel II is a 100W warm white Fresnel light with barn doors and a gel frame that can be used in place of a 500W halogen equivalent. Equipped with full DMX capabilities as well as on-board manual control, the ELED Fresnel II features a 10 - 50-degree zoom, shutter/dimmer, and silent, flicker-free operation.

TVL2000 - A white LED panel with variable WW/CW color temperature, the TVL2000 is suitable for a wide array of broadcast and exhibition lighting applications. Equipped with 450 cool white and 450 warm white LEDs, it can produce color temperatures from 3200 degrees K - 6500 degrees K to create any desired shade of white, using either DMX or on-board control. With this panel, it is possible to instantly customize studio lighting to complement any skin tone or production environment. The unit provides a 30-degree beam angle standard and produces up to 98 foot candles at a 10' throw. It features full 0-100% dimming capabilities, a four-way barn door system, and a magnetic gel/filter holder.

Utilizing advanced MSD Platinum Lamp technology from Philips, Elation Platinum Series fixtures feature an extremely compact and lightweight design, use half the energy and offer double the lamp life over equivalent conventional discharge moving heads. Two new fixtu7es will be shown:

Platinum Spot 5R Pro - Comparable in output to a 575W moving head, the Platinum Spot 5R Pro measures just half the size, consumes half as much energy, and offers twice as long lamp life -- thanks to its MSD Platinum Lamp technology. Featuring CMY color mixing, a built-in zoom and optional wireless DMX receiver, it also offers a wide array of other professional features, including: 22 gobos, three-facet rotating prism, motorized iris, motorized focus, and a variable frost Filter that gives it the versatility to function as a "hybrid" spot-wash fixture.

Platinum Spot 15 R Pro - Designed for larger concert/arena applications, the Platinum Spot 15R Pro is the most powerful member to date in the Elation Platinum Series. Utilizing the new Philips 300W MSD Platinum 15R lamp, it is comparable in brightness to a 700W (and some 1,200W) moving heads, yet is one-third smaller than a 700W fixture and uses just 43% of the power. Featuring CMY color mixing, it is loaded with pro features, including a 8 dichroic colors, 22 gobos (eight rotating and replaceable), a three-facet rotating prism, strobe effect, motorized iris, motorized focus, variable zoom (9- 27-degree beam angle), and variable frost filter. The Platinum Spot 15R Pro also includes a built-in EWDMX wireless DMX receiver, allowing it to receive DMX signals wirelessly from up to 3,' away when used with an Elation EWDMXT transmitter (sold separately).
