36 PL&P Ayrton Diablo LED Profile Ayrton has released the ultra-com- pact Diablo profile, the company’s smallest, lightest, and most efficient LED luminaire of its type. Weighing just over 20 kg, the Diablo delivers 19,000 lumens from its 300-W source and matches the ultra-compact Mistral in dimensions. The Diablo’s miniaturized framing system uses eight motors to accurately position its four blades across 100 per cent surface area, enabling precision framing of any object regardless of the luminaire’s position. The 119-mm frontal lens produces a uniform flat beam with no hot spot that renders ideal images at any beam angle. The Diablo shares the Mistral’s 13-element optical system to deliver an 8:1 zoom ratio and produce a 6.7- to 53-degree zoom range. It includes CMY colour mixing, a progressive CTO, and a wheel with seven complementary colours for a large palette of bright pastels and saturated colours. The effects section includes a wheel with seven interchangeable HD glass gobos, a continuous dynamic effects wheel, 15-blade iris dia- phragm, heavy frost filter, and five-facet indexable and circular rotating prism.

ADJ Vizi CMY 16RX Spot/Beam/Wash Hybrid Moving Head ADJ has released the Vizi CMY 16RX spot/beam/wash hybrid moving head fixture, which features dual prism layering, gobo morphing of dual gobo wheels, motorized zoom, and motorized focus. Some of the fixture’s other professional features include: frost filter to turn the hard edge beam to a wash; five- and 16-facet rotating prisms; and stepper motors for quick and precise movement. The Vizi CMY 16RX offers CMY colour mixing so designers can make custom colours. There is also a colour wheel with nine colours plus white. The moving head fixture is powered by the Philips Platinum 16R MSD discharge lamp technology (8,000 K, 1,500 hrs.). This lamp allows the unit to be a punchy, versatile fixture capable of wide washes of colour, mid-air beam effects, and break-up textures.

Theatrixx Reversible Converter System Penn UltraFlite Flightcase Panels Penn Elcom has introduced UltraFlite, a 100 per cent recyclable flightcase panel material. At 1.6 kg per sq. m., the UltraFlite material is around 80 per cent lighter than traditional wood-ply flightcase panels, making it suitable for the rental, staging, installation, touring, and venue sectors. The UltraFlite panel’s skin features a honeycomb structure that makes it tougher, lighter, more durable, and resistant to liquids and weather. It has been created to meet the needs and demands of contempo- rary and future flightcase builders, who can reduce case weight by 30 to 40 per cent on average.

Theatrixx says the future-proof Reversible Converter system is the natural extension of the xVision Converter line. Its modular design allows individual systems to be configured as needed and reconfigured on-the-fly. There is a host of modules available— featuring SDI, HDMI, fiber, HDBaseT, and more—with new modules being added regularly. All modules can be inserted with inputs/outputs at either the front or the back of the unit and are enclosed to protect against static shock, dust, and general wear and tear. Virtually uninterrupted uptime is engineered with power supplies configured to switch over automatically in case of failure and LEDs at the front of the unit to indicate status. Mains power is delivered via dual locking PowerCON True1 connectors. Redundancy is built in to the eight- bay, 3RU host unit, which features dual, oversized power supplies and gold-plated, redundant spring pins with magnetic retention to power the modules, eliminating fallible cabling and external DC adaptors.
