Prolights Increases Moving-wash Range with Astra Wash37PixProlights has released a fourth Astra moving wash, the largest in the series: the Astra Wash37Pix. This is a 37x 40W OSRAM RGBW fixture, with a wide zoom range of 4° to 54°, and capable of outputting nearly 18,000lm. Just like the Astra Wash19Pix, the bigger version comes with an external pixel ring for added pixel effects. The fixtures have a newly designed and proprietary front lens and glass light rods, with exceptionally high optical efficiency across the entire zoom range. The lens technology is the same as the Astra Wash7Pix and Astra Wash19Pix, helping increase brightness and protecting from surface scratches, with anti-static properties to avoid dust deposits, the company says. Prolights has released the Astra range with augmented pixel performance, supporting individual pixel control through DMX or Ethernet-based protocols, or with the built-in pixel macros, personalized by the user, and designed to work seamlessly with the other Astra moving-washes. The Astra Wash37Pix and newer models of the 7Pix and 19Pix come with W-DMX and CRMX transceiver protocols, allowing a wider array of Wireless DMX transmitters and receivers to work with these units. Dimmer and color parameters are integrated with 16-bit resolution, and CCT channels can be set to any precise white point and deviated by the tint channel on a +/- green chromatic coordinates. The tungsten emulation mode provides an incandescent tone of red shift when dimming. There is also a dedicated cross-fade channel to blend the white and color macros. The Astra fixtures were designed with a smarter cooling system and three fan settings, so you can use them in noise-sensitive environments. Despite their rugged look, they are extremely lightweight and easy to carry, the company says.
