Chauvet Professional Impresses at USITT Conference & Stage ExpoChauvet, a manufacturer of professional lighting, had a dramatic presence at the recent USITT Annual Conference & Stage Expo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Chauvet Professional Ovation series of theatrical luminaires generated great interest, next to the wash lights from the COLORado series, attracting hundreds of visitors at the booth. Highlighted in the innovation gallery and in the Light Lab, Ovation E-190WW ellipsoidal-style luminaire also delivered a great performance in the "Incandescent Profile vs. LED Profile" session conducted by presenters Hideaki Tsutsui, Steve Shelley, and Richard Cadena. Chauvet Professional Ovation E-190WW and Ovation F-165WW luminaires are designed specifically for theatre and stage. 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-degree 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. Ovation E-190WW has a color temperature of 3,100K, a beautiful flat field, a 16-bit dimming curve, allowing for smooth fades at the lowest levels. 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) 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 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 make it compatible with older, traditional theater Fresnel lights. Sixteen-bit dimming allows for precise level control and dimming to levels below 1%. Chauvet Professional COLORado 2 Zoom Tour has 61 3W Cree LEDs -- red, green, blue, and white - according to the company, for massive output and amazing color mixing capabilities, from intense hues to subtle pastels. A 6- to 35-degree flexible zoom sizes the pool of light, while built-in color temperature presets from 3,200K to 10,000K constantly provide predictable color. This silent and flicker-free fixture can be used with confidence in noise-sensitive environments and on camera. Quick and safe setup is due to direct three- and five-pin DMX in/out and Neutrik powerCON in/out connectors. Chauvet Professional COLORado Zoom WW Tour features 30 warm white and seven cool white LEDs, for a variable warm white output and a color temperature of 3,800K at full output. This fixture makes for a flexible addition to any lighting rig, due to its electronic 12- to 44-degree zoom. COLORado Zoom WW Tour intermixes well with existing incandescent or tungsten wash lights and boasts a self-cooling, rugged aluminum housing, as well as five dimming curves, secure Neutrik powerCON in-and-out and direct three- and five-pin DMX connectors. COLORado Zoom WW Tour also includes a built-in gel frame holder. See Chauvet Professional at PLASA Focus: Orlando, May 15-16.
