Claypaky Sinfonya Profile 600 LED Fixture
Claypaky has launched the Sinfonya Profile 600 , a low-noise LED-based fixture exclusively designed from scratch for theatre applications .
The Sinfonya Profile 600 boasts a 600W RGBAL LED source , CRI up to 95 , and output up to 12,050 lumens . The ture ’ s flagship feature is called Tonedown , a redesigned cooling system that allows the fixture to operate at a maximum mum fix-
noise level of 17dB even at full output , according to the company . In addition to this , the fan has been taken out of the base . This further reduces noise on stage and removes black noise from other frequencies that can sometime be annoying . Another technological first for the Sinfonya is the use of Accuframe , a unique framing system using two focal planes rather than four , which Claypaky says is 40 times more precise than traditional framing systems .
Claypaky have also designed a new proprietary optical system that gives ultra-high efficiency and precision . By improving the performance , the aspect ratio has been increased to 1:12 , delivering a true 5- to 60-degree beam angle potential on stage . This feature allows for a greater flexibility of use in large theatres and small ones where e low height may be an issue .

Elation Proteus Excalibur IP65 Searchlight
Elation Lighting has released the Proteus Excalibur IP65 automated “ searchlight ” fixture .
The Proteus Excalibur is the newest member in the Proteus range of IP65 automated fixtures from Elation Professional , and offers 20,000 lumens of total output . Rivaling existing Xenon searchlights and sky trackers , the extremely narrow 0.8-degree beam ensures the fixture cuts through the sky and is visible at great distances . The intense beam of the Proteus Excalibur projects from the ultra-wide 260mm front lens as a column of light .
A wide array of gobos and prism overlays allow for animating the sky , and with its light intensity all CMY colours remain strong and vibrant even when fully saturated , according to the company . Beam control is provided through a precise internal focus lens , providing crisp projection without optical errors . Dual variable frosts can soften the beam when required , while a remote-controlled expander lens allows widening the beam to approximately 3.5 degrees .
The fixture is ideally suited for theme parks , cruise ships , outdoor special events , large-scale shows and concerts , and any situation where a massive beam or very powerful prism and flower effects are required .
Key Digital has released a new product bundle : the KD-XPS22U 4K 18G Smart Extender Kit .
For installations where a display or projector is distanced from HDMI sources , the KD-XPS22U delivers uncompromised signal extension along with full-featured system control by bundling together the KD-PS22UTx Switcher / Transmitter – with integral HDBaseT signal transmission capabilities – and the KD-X100MRx Receiver . The KD-XPS22U is suited for applications in conference , training and lecture rooms , huddle spaces , and even in home theatres .
HDBaseT provides the bandwidth for delivery of uncompressed 10.2Gbps signals , which the KD-XPS22U extends with visually lossless compression by way of its 18G-enabling technology to UHD signals up to 4096x2160 . Key Digital ’ s soft-codec and KVM enabling system leverages HDBaseT ’ s bidirectionality to create a connectivity hub for professional USB cameras and microphones , audio DSP , keyboard , mouse , or touchscreen display . Displays and projectors can be controlled directly by way of IR and RS-232 extension , or via CEC control of power and volume via the KD App or KDMS Pro software . eARC is supported for HDMI and optical audio , with audio de-embedding . Either unit can be powered from its partner Tx / Rx , increasing flexibility of where the units may be located .
