Chauvet Professional Exhibits at InfoComm

Chauvet Professional WELL 2.0

Chauvet, a manufacturer of professional lighting, is gearing up for InfoComm, scheduled for June 12-14 in Orlando, Florida. Built with Trusst, backed by Chauvet, booths 5643 and 6080 will house a great selection of new luminaires, next to the already available Chavuet Professional Legend 230SR Beam moving yoke, Nexus 4x4 tour-ready wash light, Ovation series of theatrical luminaires, PVP S5 and PVP S7 high-definition video panels, MVP Ta8 Curve modular video panel, WELL 2.0 wireless wash light, Q-Spot 360-LED and Q-Spot 460-LED moving spot fixtures, wash lights from the COLORado Series, and more. Chauvet's Iluminarc brand of architectural lighting is also represented by a variety of interior and exterior lighting solutions. Additionally, Chauvet is a sponsor for the #AVTweeps event hosted by AV Nation from 5:00 to 6:30pm on June 13.

Chauvet Professional Legend 230SR Beam is a compact, lightweight, intensely bright moving head beam luminaire with a tight 2.25-degree beam angle and houses an Osram Sirius 230W lamp, which makes this fixture strikingly bright at 96,000 lux at 15m. The incorporated high-quality glass optics and eight-facet rotating prism with zoom capabilities and motorized focus contribute to flawless hard-edged beams and energizing aerial effects accentuated by haze or fog. Operating at variable speeds, the trapezoidal 14-position (plus open) color wheel allows for better split colors and seamless transitions. Also featuring variable speeds, the gobo wheel has 17 gobos (plus open) for inspiring effects.

Chauvet Professional Nexus 4x4 is both a bold eye-candy and a tour-ready wash light that uses RGB COB LED technology, combined with a soft reflector, delivering a bright performance. From audience blinder effects, vibrant pixel-mapped eye-candy effects, to large-scale stage washers, Nexus 4x4 offers great rendering from off-axis viewing angles, and even field from the 16 20W cells per panel. The fixture is Art-Net, Kling-Net, and DMX ready, with on-board power and data linking that can be used as an Art-Net to DMX converter. Nexus 4x4 utilizes integrated mounting hardware, which makes for an easy setup whether it's one or an array of 100 fixtures.

Chauvet Professional Ovation F-165WW and Ovation E-190WW luminaires are designed specifically for theater and stage. Powered by 16 10W LEDs, Chauvet Professional Ovation F-165WW -- the line's Fresnel-style fixture -- delivers over 1,500 lux at five meters (13-degrees) without a significant temperature-related drop off. The fixture has an easily adjustable motorized zoom and works 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 3100K and a beautiful soft field. Selectable dimming curves make it compatible with older, traditional theater Fresnel lights. Powered by 19 10W LEDs, Chauvet Professional Ovation E-190WW -- styled after the ellipsoidal spot fixtures -- delivers over 2,000 lux at five meters (using the 26-degrees 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. It will be shipping with the option of 19-, 26-, 36-, or 50-degree high-resolution lenses. 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.

Part of the VIP Series, PVP S5 and PVP S7 are two, indoor high-resolution video panels designed for touring and permanent indoor installations. Each high-resolution panel uses black face, tri-colored SMD LEDs which increases contrast, while the tight pixel pitch (PVP S5 at 5.2mm and PVP S7 at 7.8mm) decreases the viewing distance, making these video panels ideal for high-resolution graphics and live-action video. Replete with an integrated auto-aligning housing for precise pixel alignment and with four additional M10 mounting points, each panel's modular nature and solid construction allow for fast, easy setup and long-term installations. An optional PVP rigging kit is also available for hanging from pipe or truss. The fixtures work together interchangeably to create large wall designs of mixed resolutions, and can easily be rigged by a single person, minimizing load-in time and labor costs.

Chauvet Professional MVP Ta8 Curve is a modular video panel loaded with tri-color SMD LEDs at a tight 8.33mm pixel pitch. Due to the integrated hardware, these panels can be built straight, or in convex and concave curves with a 36-degree range of curvature (plus/minus 18 degrees), without losing pixel pitch. The blackface SMD LEDs offer a great contrast, while the tight binning of LEDs ensures consistent color rendering across panels. Rated IP54, MVP Ta8 Curve is suitable for temporary outdoor applications. Solid construction makes these ideal for touring and long-term installation. Installation and connectivity are easy, using Neutrik powerCON and EtherCON connectors.

Chauvet Professional WELL 2.0 makes battery-operated uplighting even easier with 12 three-watt tri-colored LEDs controllable in two independent focusing zones and calibrated to ensure consistency among fixtures, including with the Chauvet Professional COLORado line. WELL 2.0 runs on a built-in 12V battery, which lasts for more than 12 consecutive hours at full output, or over 20 hours in a single color. This wireless wash light has color temperature presets from 3,200K to 10,000K and features a split LED array to direct beams of light at different angles. For control, standard DMX ports are available, as well as a pre-installed Wireless Solution W-DMX receiver with a small and robust antenna for better reception. The unit's reflective casing helps it blend in any environment where a discreet installation is key. The road case offers built-in charging for up to six units.

Joining the Q-Series of moving heads, Chauvet Professional Q-Wash 436Z-LED is a zooming LED wash powered by 36 10W quad-colored RGBW LEDs. A versatile zoom of 14.5- to 36-degrees makes this unit appropriate for a wide variety of applications. Five sections of LED control and built-in color macros deliver stunning eye-candy effects and flicker-free dimming allows for on-camera use.

Ideal for clubs and medium- to small-size entertainment venues, the compact, ecofriendly moving spot Q-Spot 460-LED features a highly efficient patented optical system, a 16-degree beam angle, an easy-access gobo door, and shutter and strobe functions. Lightweight and easy-to-hang, Q-Spot 460-LED operates quietly and has a fast, precise pan and tilt movement complemented by a three-facet rotating prism and a motorized focus. Q-Spot 460-LED has seven 10W white LEDs, six rotating gobos, seven static gobos, and seven colors plus white.
