Elation to Showcase its Newest Products at NAMM

	he EVCMH moving head camera.

If there's one thing visitors to Elation Professional's Winter 2012 NAMM display , January 19-22, in Anahein, California, will immediately notice, it's that the company has spread its horizons well beyond the lighting fixtures it has become so well known for. Two of of the company's major NAMM debuts are in the video realm. Also news is the company's RGB LED pixel tape; there will be debuts among lighting units, too.

The EVCMH moving head video camera is a DMX-512 moving head video camera designed to spotlight almost anything and project it onto a video wall or TV. Suitable for weddings, corporate events, dances, and nightclubs, it features DMX-512 controllable pan/tilt, zoom, and focus, allowing it to "capture" almost any person or object in a room, dance floor, or exhibit. Featuring 48 warm and cool white LEDs (24 of each), it allows you to customize its shade of white to work with different skin tones and ambient light. When used with media software such as Arkaos Media Master Express, Grand VJ or Madrix, a variety of effects and visuals can be created. The EVCMH camera's features include: 60-degree beam angle, eight DMX channels, dimmer, estimated 50,000 hours LED life, five-pin XLR in and out, and 36W power consumption.

Designed for creating curved video walls, the EPV15 Flex video panel features a design that allows the panels to bend, coil, and wrap around any surface, whether flat or dimensional. With its ability to adapt to curved surfaces and high ingress protection ratings of IP65 (front) and IP54 (back), the EPV15 Flex makes it possible to install a high-impact video wall anywhere --indoors or outdoors -- in spaces of any shape or size, the company says. Utilizing three-in-one RGB SMD LEDs, it features a 15mm pixel pitch, 4,500-nit brightness, and 39.3' minimum viewing distance. Each EPV15 Flex panel measures 19.2" x 19.2" (480mm x 480mm) and includes its own built-in PSU 100V-240V power supply.

Flex Pixel WP Tape, a thin and flexible LED circuit strip, features an adhesive backing and comes in 10' spools of 70 RGB pixels each, which can be cut into strips of desired length, then "taped" onto virtually any surface. Wherever it's used, its waterproof covering will keep it high and dry and protected against moisture, the company says. The optional proprietary Flex Pixel Driver 1, can drive up to 140 pixels (two tapes), and optional Flex Pixel IRC Driver and Wireless Remote. Also available is an optional 5V DC power supply, the Flex Pixel 5VPSU.

The Opti QA Par is a compact, energy- efficient color-mixing PAR featuring eighteen 5W RGBA LEDs, yet it draws only 140W of electricity at maximum use. Its advanced quad color technology, which combines red, green, blue, and amber into each LED source, provides superior color blending and eliminates the annoying shadows often produced by fixtures with single-color LEDs, the company says. Its use of amber LEDs, rather than white, is suitable for applications where warmer, richer blended colors are desired. Featuring DMX or manual operation, the Opti QA Par includes dimming, strobing, and a standard 10-degree beam angle. Designed for stages, clubs, and uplighting, it comes equipped with a split yoke bracket that allows it be set on the floor or mounted on a wall or trussing. Its long-life LEDs will run for 50,000 hours without burning out. Also included are power-con in and out, three-pin and five-pin XLR connectors, and an electronic power supply.
